@Solid Snake Plissken sounds as applicable as a socialist idea for me.

2. Death is a punishment because?

No

Becuase you wouldnt kill for stealing food

@Solid Snake Plissken and even worse :3

Yeah okay

Not killing the poor and hungry is worse

Okay guy

Would ya be allowed to steal a house to have a home during cold winters?

No

there should be private and public charities in place to help the needy

Thats what shelters are for

I'm sorry but killing criminals as a form of "punishment" sounds dumb

be it in the form of shelters funded by the government or private institutions such as churches

Ans what pays for shelters?

That's not an actual punishment

Churches

Like it already is today

the government or a collection of individual(s) paying for their private property

That's sweeping the problem under the rug

Churches in the US are rich and powerful. Dat' ain't the case everywere

How is staying in a shelter sweeping it under the rug?

Plus, it means givng power to churches, including educating people in these shelters

i'd hardly say the churches in america are too powerful and affluent, especially compared to places such as russia

@Solid Snake Plissken I'm talking about killing criminals

considering there are about a hundred different denominations in here, while there is only one in russia

Dude shelters already exist

@bink ya don't know churches in France, do ya? <a:party_parrot:583246247675035648>

They are literally already around and run by chuches

are they taxed there

Church in Russia being powerful? I've never heard of that one

They feed you and everything

In America anyways

@Boo depends on what. But on ethical things, clearly

The church in Russia is very close to the government

They are a tool for outside and inside politics

And often serves as a mouthpiece for Putin

So yeah, in itself, they are powerful. But not as Poutine

For now.

It may change, who knows?

Okay everyone lets stop talking about churches solving problems cause that's just stupid
