How about people like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, who've pledged a lot of their time, money, and effort into "charitable" causes? Obscene wealth, but I guess they're doing something that can lift the material conditions or standard of living for people across the world.

Who is further redeemable between a methhead mugging a stranger on the street to get their next fix or some Wall Street banker who plays the game but also makes sure to acknowledge or give cash to the homeless people he passes on his way to work? No one's perfect, of course, but are we drawing lines in the sand in a future society?

I know, I know, I'm turning in my Lib card. :liberalism: .

    Everyone has room to grow and humans are inherently valuable. You have to prove yourself completely irredeemable.

    There are lots of steps between here and the guillotine.

      I think what we're discussing here is what would render someone completely irredeemable
