Don't take this to any offense but you had so many typos and grammatical errors in there I could pass it off as a foreign language. Try typing this statement alittle better, it looks like something a 4 yr old wrote.

No reason to make a moral judgement about a person actions.

But clearily be it a leaking water pipe , burning building or person commiting non-victimless crimes they all need to be put back in control.


are these statements not contradictory? if not morality, what is the fundamental basis of a need for control in terms of the actions of a person?


The same basis as fixing a water pipe that is leaking flooding ones home and wasting water. A person trying to rob, rape and kill you is a water pipe leaking on your home.
Oh I assume fixing a leaking pipe is not a moral but practical thing. If technically its a moral judgement to you thats fine. I see people as machines no different than a water pipe. If a pipe can be fixed ,fix it. If it must be scraped, scrap it.


As cold as this sounds initially, I have to support it. We shoot mad dogs (harmful, dangerous, and proven dangers to society by their individual actions). I don't see why people should be any different. One shot at curing the problem, then straight to the firing squad.
