And you would not say what this "way" was. So the premise of the question doesn't work. You asked me why I would not "wish it could be stopped by any means" but wouldn't say what this expression "any means" refers to, even when asked. Then, later, we saw your true colours when you admitted - a little more honestly perhaps - "It is really no concern of mine what you or FMF thinks and the reason you think it."

Thanks..Finally a simple answer.
So may I ask why not?
-stop all crimes preemptively by implanting a chip in every human brain that sends wireless transmissions of all your thoughts and plans to a central monitoring area.
those are just two unacceptable examples that took me all of 10 seconds to come up with.

Whatever. No matter how I would have worded it this same sillyness would have happened. C ya!!!!!!!
Do you still think, based on our exchanges on this thread, that I have a lack of interest in seeing a reduction in crime and that I don't care at all about the victims of crime? Do you think, by way of contrast, that you have demonstrated that you are interested and that you do care?

I am also not prepared to sign up for anything where the cost is unknown,
particularly when I can't see any acceptable way of achieving the goal.
You didn't specify under who's laws these crimes would be judged.
So to answer the question as to whether I would sign up for some imaginary
scheme to end all crime where I can see no acceptable way of achieving the
goal if it were even possible and when I have no idea what laws are going
to be absolutely enforced or by whom then there can be only one answer to
the question...
NO! I will not sign up for that.
Which btw, if your god (or any other) does exist.
I didn't, don't, and wont, Sign up to follow them or their laws either.

Originally posted by galveston75It depends what 'living in peace' constitutes. For example we could put everyone under anaesthesia. Is that 'living in peace'?

Your question is one that cannot he answered because it lacks sufficient information to make a judgement call. All one can say is that without further information it is safer to decline (as most scenarios we can think of involve incapacitating people in some way).

I can't see any possible way of having living breathing humans in which no 'crime' or 'suffering'
ever happens and can never happen which does not involve the forceful imposition of those laws
onto humans and the total destruction of their will and personality so that they don't suffer from
having their will taken away.
To create this society you speak of would require my destruction, because nothing recognisably me
could live happily in such a society.
If you change me so much that I could live in such a society happily would be to destroy the thing that
makes me me, and replace it with something else.
And the same would apply to many other people, probably the overwhelming majority of people, if not
actually everyone.
This thing you suggest sounds to me like an abomination.
EDIT: It sounds like the Christian description of heaven. A place I would rather die than go to.

So society is doing ok as some here suggest or even getting better? I'm sorry but as a kid and riding busses I've never seen or heard of anything like this.
For you who think this is "no big deal" I'd like to see your reaction if this was your Mother or Grandmother.
Sure there have always been punks but come on.....
Where is the teaching these kids need? What kind of respect are they being taught not only towards other humans but towards God?
