You are correct, it is a form of revenge. A form of revenge that produces constructive results for society helping to reconstruct the damage the loss that individual caused, as well as reducing the incentive to turn prisons into a commercial endeavor which drives arrest quotas. This as opposed to a system which is not only NOT constructive but creates even a further burden on society.
In your little scenario you assume a lot of things, like you would personally be overseeing the criminal that committed a crime against you. That is pretty moronic even by your standards. No one in their right mind would put the life of a human in your hands. As you pointed out sadistic individuals like yourself would commit further crimes abusing that individual, most likely leading to that person murdering you in your home because they cant take it any more. You make lots of assumptions about me and why I have the opinions I do. I will be the one to decide why I have an opinion thank you.
Funny how you skipped over the whole funding of 2.5 million people in prison part. I wonder why?
So if it's a form of revenge then why all the "I'm above petty revenge" bullshit here? Why all the ad-homs? Why are you taking this so personally?
Perhaps it is because I never said those things, you are projecting them onto me, and making assumptions about my beliefs not based on what I said but your own twisted extrapolation of what you guess that I believe. You are making statements then attributing them to me when I said no such thing. That is just about equivalent with a personal attack in my book, certainly just as ignorant. Why don't you go find a democrat so you can work out your republican vs democrat asinine dualist rhetoric with someone who cares to participate in your red vs blue circle jerk.
