In this thread we post our most :LIB: takes, and discuss whether that is the logical end point on a given topic or whether we need to lose that last bit of liberalism.

    You know most murders are crimes of passion where the killer has probably never killed before and probably doesn’t plan on ever doing it again. This is basically saying everyone gets to strangle one person who really pissed them off Scott free and then resume life as normal.

      Yeah pretty much. I mean, we know more or less for a fact that prison as deterrence doesn't work, especially in crimes of passion. The idea with the culture is that they've removed every conceivable material reason for violence, and all that's left is things they genuinely can't predict and can't prevent, that aren't likely to cause further danger to the community.
