We might have to take away people's freedom to a large extent for reasons of public safety, but we're not doing anything with the goal of making them suffer. Even solitary confinement, which seems like the most extreme form of punishment that's still justifiable under my philosophy, shouldn't just be an empty and tiny box we shove our most hated people in for months and years. That's wrong. I understand the idealism, but unfortunately things are not always that simple. It is important to know when to be idealistic and when to be realistic. The reality is, even though everyone "Should" be happy, not everyone is. And sometimes, people do bad things that unduly steal that happiness away from other people. Crimes happen, all the time, in various severities. If no one should be unhappy, do you believe that if I shoplift, I shouldn't be punished because that would make me unhappy? --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss <cite>Emeraldegg posted [p:975943568] in Hypothetic...
