[QUOTE="Pl8er, post: 3545481, member: 540634"] Would you at least agree that crime would reduce after some time? I mean who would consider breaking a law with that in mind? Works in other countries. Now, I know they don't use deadly force for everything but public hangings, hands being cut off public beatings etc. When I worked at Sears in my youth I stole TONS of stuff (I bet over 10,000 over the few years I worked there). I got caught and was given a 115 dollar fine and house arrest. I was off of house arrest after 3 weeks due to being an excellent student. Now in this example, maybe the manager of sears could have, should have shot me (I wouldn't have wanted that) but really, everything I took and they got nothing back in return. If I would have known that I was going to be beaten in public, or even shot, I'm sure I would have thought otherwise. The fact is that even being 16 I knew that the laws were in my favor. [/QUOTE]
