WiL..
I wouldn't punch you in the face as you have expressed your views in a way that adds to the discussion and indeed raises valuable points. The people who get punched are just those that tell you your opinions are wrong.

I am also aware that the death sentence is always going to be a "hot topic", but if someone killed someone I loved and I had concrete evidence I wouldn't hesitate in pulling the trigger as it were and I believe in it for that reason and all the other families who have had people taken away from them and the killer, in some cases, let out years later to continue their life.

And I agree that the prisons are full of petty thieves, burglars, hamburglers and the like, and as such just believe prisons should be a bit harsher so when they are thinking of breaking into peoples houses to steal a MP3 player and a couple hundred quid they stop and think "I quite like hot food and the ability to go outside when I want so I better actually go get a job instead". Walking past the job centre on my lunch breaks and hearing "I just got out of jail. Again" is getting quite annoying. Proving rehabilitation and the threat of prison isn't working.

I am also fully aware friendship is a two way street, and I have literally gone out of my way (by about 50 miles) to help friends which just annoys me more when certain people expect validation and encouragement from you for their ideas but refuse to give any back.

It feels really good to vent :)
