Guilty and bad aren't necessarily the same thing. Many criminals merely made really stupid mistakes and are capable of reform. Others are more habitual criminals who require far greater efforts to reform them. Plus it's objectively bad to promote the use of torture as a form of punishment. In this hypothetical situation, guilty and bad people are exactly the same thing. Because everyone is capable of not doing bad things. Don't want to get tortured? Don't be a bad person. Simple as that. Which we already know is a complete ineffective deterrent because historically even harsher punishments didn't deter criminals. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:900013113] in Let's say ...
