I love your first part about threats, but I hate the second part about enforcement. (maybe not in a way you'll agree with, though.)brimstoneSalad wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2017 12:40 am The threat of punishment, if it works without having to enforce it, may be cheaper than the social workers
The problem I have is....you don't seem to accept the possible full consequences of enforcement. Your statement makes it clear that you don't want to enforce the law, but you'll feel better if it is in place.
I've made it pretty clear I'm a PsYcHo. I have no problem at all with torturing someone who tortured someone else. You don't want to torture people; I think certain people should be on an express lane to torture town. You seem to be naive on what it would take for "normal" folks to jump on the torture bandwagon.
Realistically, this "person" who has an ideological difference with Transgendered persons is a weakling. (Some little shit who isn't comfortable with their own sexuality, so chooses a transgendered elderly person to intimidate.)
So if this person calls "Jane"- "John", it's okay to lock them in a cage? (the type of people to pick on elderly persons are often weak, and weak people willget sodomized/beat in prison/jail. )
I am totally for violent persons to be subjected to rape in prisons and jails. Are you suggesting persons who say mean words to people should be subjected to the same punishments? ... Think about this for a minute.
I know this is not what you are suggesting, but I truly believe this is the outcome if such a law were to exist. Otherwise harmless assholes who say bad words will be violently raped. Or killed, since "informing" on someone who rapes you in prison is punishable by death per the "convict code".
As my Christian friends would say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". Or something like that.
