Kinda goes back to the point in #2: You lose your rights as an individual when you kill, threaten to kill, or cause harm to another (i.e. robbing someone's house or store). I don't understand the mentality that these 'poor' individuals still have rights. Same kind of ill logic that people believe terrorists deserve a trial.<BR/><BR/>4. The world needs better disciplined youth. The degradation of the family and values results in misguided and delinquent youth.goddessdivinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649750585495782767noreply@blogger.com
