One of the stupidest ideas...

...I've ever seen. I found this over at SpaceBattles and well, it's just not right.
Should people found guilty of murder be allowed to pay a fine instead of jailtime?
It would have to be a hefty fine (I.E. +$10 million) and there would need to be some sort of list of greivences approved.
If a politician pissed off to many of his constituents he could be offed when a sufficiently large amount is gathered.
If payed in advance should they be allowed to kill the person with no interference?
How about it?
Obviously, every post in the thread the guy who came up with the idea made was totally against it.

Yes. If they knew they could pay their way out, there would me murderers poping up everywhere. Killing them gives them a great warning and, unfortunetly, people still murder. But not as much as there would be if you could pay your way out. I think the person who came up with that idea is a murderer standing up for his kind.

LOL...well that's gotta be hefty price.
If you really want to figure the pure materialistic value of life...how much money is required to raise him/her to that age...and if the cloning is possible...how much for that.
Much more than 10 million, and still not acceptable unless I get THAT person back...not something that looks and talks like him/her, but really that person.
Until such time...let them rot in whatever hell they deserve.

Hey, why not make murderers do 1,200,000 hours of ocmmunity service too? Murder shouldn't be punsihable by fines, it should be punishable either by jail time, or in instances of mass murders, death.

Hey, does anyone realize that this actually has some benefits? For example, for the low low price of $10^7 each, we could off fucktards like Jack Chick and G. W. Bush.
And yes, I realize that this would be a bad thing otherwise.

Paying to get out of murder: fuck no!
Ideally I'd like to see something like a B5 mindwipe become standard rather than the stupid hodgepodge system we've got now. There's too many ways for the guilty to get off lightly.

That is totally ridiculous. I cannot believe the stupidity of the person who would propose such a thing--particularly the "pay in advance" option.

Actually in my economics book it gave a number of how much a human life was worth in material terms. It is less than 10 million dollars.

Up until the last sentence, I agree completely. It's immoral to have someone pay their way out of a murder, and to propose
paying in advance, it's like paying the government to do a hit-job.
Oh, and nice av.

There are few places, which don't have at least one good tree per county. And they can erect a gallows

I like the idea. Just make it so they have to pay in pennies. How long would it take to count out $10 Million in pennies?

That isn't the point, wannabe.
When people kill you the murderers will be PAID $10 million.

Only if the more money the paid (which goes to charity or research) then the less they are tortured. So if they only have a dollar, well let's just say, if you can literally scream your lungs out, my first victim will know.

You're a fucking retard. It was a goddamn joke.
On the other hand, it's nice to have proof that you're no smarter than the creationists you attack.

Considering the bullshit you posted that dumb crack was indistinguishable from the rest of your semen-soaked blatherings.

I don't attack creationists. Not yet. It's nice to have proof that you cannot possibly be the real Strowbridge, because even lobotomized iguanas have demonstarted higher levels of intelligence.

Baseless? When you pay a fine, do you get the money?
That's what ESB said.
"When people kill you the murderers will be PAID $10 million."
If that doesn't deserve an insult, then what does?
Oh, BTW, let's not turn stardestroyer.net into another Space Battles, where the clueless are protected from the insults their draw.
