Some of the questions are better but it's a pain in the arse when they ask you how you feel about 2 things in the same question, an example being, "Do you think that euthanasia and suicide should be legal?". I agree with one but not the other.

I don't understand why you wouldn't want suicide to be legal, like... what are you gonna do, throw the corpse in jail? Oh, that'll teach it a lesson

idk it's 2am and I'm tired, I'll fill this in tomorrow

It's about the act of trying to do it. Should there be a punishment for it if you try?

Punishment as a result of crime is an antiquated system anyways. In a significant number (not all) cases, some form of rehabilitation would be much more productive.

No victim, no crime.

No victim, no crime.

Eh, it isn't quite the victimless crime it appears to be on the surface. There can be a significant amount of emotional trauma inflicted on friends and family.

hurting someone's feelings != crime

Get to the point where life is going so badly wrong that you'd rather end your own existence than suffer through another day: Not a victim.
Know someone who tried to kill themselves: The real victim.

I'd say they're both victims, to be honest. There has clearly been some sort of failure if someone was driven to that point, but the sheer trauma that close friends and family can suffer is definitely immense.

I don't fully agree with MNB's statement but, in the situation of attempted suicide, there definitely is no victim and there most certainly is no crime.

David Mitchell said a great thing about timorous and reckless people on WILTY. He said warnings are put in place in order to create order for the reckless people. However, that leaves the timorous ones in a state of 'perpetual terror'. So, I think that, even though rehab is very good and should be used with prisoners, I do believe punishment should exist as a deterrent to even commit any crime. So, in the end, in theory, all the timorous people won't even consider committing a crime, whilst the reckless ones are significantly deterred.

[Meganerdbomb]

Someone who attemps suicide needs help, not punishment.  Being forced into a mental institution by the government isn't what I'd consider help either.

Also, punishment for crime should focus on making the perpetuator pay restitution to the victims.

This is why i said some but not all. Was simply stating that punishment wasn't the only or best answer.

I should've said IMO. I'm fully aware that hurting someone's feefees can be a criminal offense. I think that that is really stupid, even in extreme cases.

[yugitom]

Wanted to revisit this to see if I changed any in the past few years

Didn't screenshot my compass test but it was Geice's, except a bit closer to the center.

I'm becoming less authoritarian but more right wing, even tho I've landed in the centre (on the left/right spectrum, at least)

[Badger]

very cringe thread, I disavow all my old posts

[Naryar]

huh.
