Yes Jim, bumping into them with a garbage truck. :shifty:

[Torplexed]

Apparently, she was all of five foot high and almost 80. There's a mugging to be proud of. I'm kind of hoping their brethren trash will shame them into coming forward, but I'm not holding my breath. :nope:

[BossMark]

Low life like the trash who did this should be put out of their misery, when sentencing the judge should be putting a black hanky on his head.

[Jimbuna]

Aye that guys....things like this make me question my faith in humanity.

The depths of human depravity is a bottomless pit.

On the other hand nor is there a limit to human righteousness. The NYFD guys who ascended the burning towers on 9-11 for example.

I started to read this in the Mail and had to stop, my passion was racing away and out of control.

the things people do to each other and helpless creatures...no matter how bad it gets it always seems to shock me. :nope:

And to think, this stuff happens in a civil society, what would happen in anarchy.....

I rather have them in the trash compactor of the garbage truck with broken 2x4's, glass gallon jugs of hydrochloric acid, large chunks of concrete and SLOWLY turn the compactor on......

Bring back impalement, drawn and quartering, iron maiden, stoning, whatever it is as long as its long, drawn out and brutal.

Oh for the love of...

Yes, the guy who did this is scum who deserves a serious punishment. But seriously? Drawing and quartering?

Personally, I rather like the idea of making him spend the rest of his life turning very big rocks into very small rocks. Nothing like dull, endless, pointless drudgery to make somebody regret their stupidity.

Who cares about having him find remorse in what he did. You do something so base, so savage, you earned a base and savage end. You do not deserve dignity or mercy from anyone.

In the joint, he gets three hot and a cot, with a roof over his head. That really deters no one.

I find that there are few things less civil than civilization. Regardless of how we dress it up, we're still a morass of individuals who will gouge each other's eyes out in the effort to obtain or retain power. We only need look at our continued history to see that.

[Reece]

Yes but what we say and what we do are two different things!:yep:

Like i said, the depths of human depravity is a bottomless pit. Personally, i think the fear of going to hell, eternal damnation, whatever you want to call it, is the only thing that keeps a good number of people in our society from acting like complete animals.

Would that possibly be a christian ideal?

Duc, some of the crap I have seen in 19 years has left me hoping that hell is actually on this earth and we do go to a better place.

I agree with you to a point. Civilization could be said to be natural conclusion of mankind. Is it the only end, haven't seen an argument for an alternative.

As Aristotle argues in Ethics, laws and education exist to raise the child into reason and that helps form a virtuous person The virtuous person uses reason to know right from wrong. They are not the problem. Laws exist beyond that capacity for the great many who fall by the way side, who cannot use reason to find a conclusion that their actions are wrong.

I was trying to tapdance around the subject of religion, as its a hot topic within itself. I'd rather not get into it except to say, I'm more of the agnostic type. Still I would never want it proven (if it was even possible), that there is no such thing as a God (plural), or God (singular), assuming there wasn't. Because If that were ever proven somehow, I think the very fabric of our society would start to unravel. Religion has its place in society, as it keeps some of the animals in check. (EDIT: Not a good arguing point for Islam though. :haha: )
