Yeah so he should have to pay for the damage, plus extra for the cost of investigating the crime and for the inconvenience suffered by the people who's property was vandalized. What is crazy, even if you have no compassion for the guy, is to lock him up for 8 years at a cost of over $100 000 to...

YES FUCKING PLEASE. I wouldn't even say punish, just force to pay restitution. What right do we have to punish someone who hasn't cause any damage to persons or property?

A human being's body is that person's property. Killing a human being amounts to destroying that property, its monetary value is hard to estimate, but it is still property with value. Possessing a particular plant does not harm persons or property! Arguably it harms the person who uses the...

drug felony charge = $0 worth of damage.

I'm pretty sure aussie-boy is a troll.

Holy fuck! It's $7500 worth of damage, and they are going to lock this kid up at $30000 per year for 8 years at a cost of $240 000! I hope after this poor kid's life is destroyed after 8 years of bashings and rapes in jail, that instead of attacking some innocent victim when he gets out, he...

wow, finally some good news. thank fuck for the internet.

Incentives ARE penalties. They have to come from somewhere, i.e. the taxpayer. What he is proposing is essentially robbing workers to give money to big corporations. Ultimately this penalizes businesses anyway since consumers have reduced spending power.

You've got some sense of entitlement there buddy. Not surprising though when only 10% of people in the poll believe in scrapping YA. I guess people can't resist a free lunch.

I have nothing against teachers, my parents are actually teachers. All I oppose is a particular stance of the NSW Teachers Union. Progressive is such a weasel word. Anyone can define themselves as such. Personally, I don't think censoring information is progressive. I would support teachers...

This. "When things go according to plan, nobody panics. Even if the plan if horrifying."

Well if Mutually Assured Destruction is highly effective, that somewhat undermines your arguments that only states could afford reasonable defense forces since all a private security firm would really need is a few nuclear weapons. Most countries could not confront a power the size of China or...

Crime should be defined by property rights, but that doesn't mean that imprisonment can't remain an option. If it seems likely that the criminal will re-offend, eg a serial killer, or someone with obvious anger problems, I see no problem with locking them up or banishing them from a private...

I'm not having a go at teachers for wanting the best for their children, just for trying to stop other parents from accessing that information and also being able to do what they think is best for their children. It's not sweeping or stupid: 1) Most teachers want their children to attend a...

Teachers are total hypocrites. They don't want people to leave poor performing schools, but they wouldn't have their children attend one of these poor schools to help prop it up. Teachers use their own knowledge of the system to make sure they send their children to the best schools, but they...

As I said, there are no guarantees. It's possible that they would, but nuclear weapons are extremely expensive (especially the capacity to deploy them long distances which most nuclear armed countries don't even have) and without forcing others to pay for it, it makes it much harder to afford.

We are not advocating a return to the sort of primitive statelessness of ancient times. Complex institutions providing security, laws and codes of practice would still exist. The only difference we are advocating is that opting in and out of these institutions should be voluntary.

50 years is pretty short in the scheme of things. The risk of nuclear war is real and it is horrific. The scale of the destruction that could be caused by modern nation states is so much greater than anything that could be done by rouge militias and security firms. Yes. It is exactly what we...

Right, so instead of having massive nuclear armed nation states fighting each other, fighting would be more likely to occur on a local level? Sounds like an improvement to me. It makes it easier to escape conflicts if they are on a local level, and limits the damage caused by them. First of...
