    For you, I'll make an amendment.
    Civilized people don't have the death penalty; But have to deal with VERY "uncivilized" people in a civilized way.

    I'll also add this: - It's used as a deterrent, a punishment, protection and vengeance* for the community.

    *In Britain, a Former Conservative MP, Michael Portillo made a good program about this. Some didn't want death to painless, they wanted vengeance too.

    Well put point and worth a reply.
    Not too sure that "Civilized people" must accept immoral authority.
    A lot of cases you read in the press would have the "people" as immoral and "the system" - (a judge judge who has seen a number of these cases over the years) being the better person.
    I believe "the people" (me) would be ok with Anders Breivik being tortured for years and years with a doctor on standby to make sure he doesn't die. Civilized people can't be civilized 100% of the time when faced with something so horrific. The aim is to have a civilized authority/system. OR to put it the best way i've read -
    Gandalf the Wise's response
    "Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."

    It may be that the same thing is mentioned twice in a very short summary of the story, but that the same thing is mentioned twice in a very short summary of the story does obfuscate the lack of content. That is why the same thing is mentioned twice in a very short summary of the story. Why else would it be that the same thing is mentioned twice in a very short summary of the story?

    Can I quote you on that?

    Sure, It doesn't have to go to a URL. All is does is read in data and then do something with it. There are people here that would love to feed in the wrong data to see what happens. There are people here that would love to feed in combinations of correct data and see what happens.
    When you've broke it, what data of your own can you feed in after? The more complex they make the QR system the better.
    My 50IQ isn't the IQ you have to worry about. It's the code monkey with the 50IQ doing a job he hates, plus the guy with 50IQ and an Idea about how to break something and too dumb not to try. The guy with a 50IQ that got a promotion to the top. You read about that dick all the time. The error doesn't need to be interesting, just doable is a reason for some.

    So long as they learn from each one it doesn't really matter. We got off the ground in 1903 and we are now putting nuclear power cars on another planet 100+ years on. It would be great to get to a stage when probes and rovers are really standard in the next 50 years.
