A curious, hypothetical question to put forwards to people here after reading something.

If someone you know commits crimes up to the point of murder, how far should the punishment go before they can consider it enough? Would it ever be enough?

Alternatively while I have this thing open; all the coffee tastes the same. Is there truly a difference between the different kinds the stores are offering?

[ Look, it's hard work being stuck in a bathtub as a mermaid sometimes, okay?]

Enough for what? As far as I know, there are usually rules for one part of that, but when it comes to how people feel, it is more complicated.

Are they likely to murder another? What was their reasoning for doing it?

Depends on who you ask, doesn't it? If you ask the victims family, no it's never enough. Ask anyone else though, maybe 20 years behind bars or just throw away the key. Maybe just the 20 years if the person is nice enough.

Point numero B. No, not all coffee tastes the same if brewed right. If it's brewed badly or instant, then yes it would.

Well if I hate them a lot they should die
Duh
Then heaven should revive them
So people can kill them again!
Theeeen that should go on forever I guess
Yep 😄

[ Welp.

This sure is a dark topic, isn't it? ]

Back at home, sentences would be carried out based on variety of factors regarding murder. Like the degree of viciousness, the motive, how it was carried out and how many people were killed, things like that. Personally, I'm not all that fond of the death penalty because it wouldn't give the person a chance to make up for their sins.

And 'would it ever be enough' varies from person to person, too. Like if it were someone I was close to my personal criteria would lean towards trying to understand why they did it first and foremost and then go from there.

Also regarding coffee: there are differences depending on how it's brewed and also if you're drinking it black or with sugar or additional milk, etc. If everything does taste the same to you, then maybe that's a tastebud thing?

One should definitely consider all the factors, but I don't think death should be ruled out of the equation entirely. Some people are too dangerous to risk even the slightest possibility of their escape, even if it seems as though they've been rendered powerless.

I suppose you've got to respect the laws of wherever you are on the subject.

Personally, I think there's reasons for certain actions. We can talk philosophy and intent all day, but I don't think there's any definitive answer that's acceptable, even for myself.

Also, try a Robusta bean over an Arabica. You'll notice.

depends on the circumstances of the murder honestly
i've definitely killed people before for example but usually in defense or the guy really deserved it
but some people will tell you that's horrible etc
anyway if say for example some murderer shows up because he only gets his jollies through killing innocent people i'd probably either just kill him or turn him into the moon knights

i dont usually drink coffee so i cant help you there
but if you need tea advice lemme know

It's pointless to even try and come up with a unilateral punishment for all murderers, because circumstances always change. Does the father who kills someone attacking their children deserve the same punishment as the man who kills others for fun?

I believe that would depend on the crime, and how much those affected by it are willing to forgive.

Or how much you're willing to forgive yourself, in some cases.

As for coffee, I must admit I can't tell the difference between them either! Have you tried very many of them?

It would depends on the circumstances of the murder and if they are regretful or not.

But if they are a monster... there is never enough.

Murder is unacceptable and brings disorder to the nation. The only acceptable punishment is execution.

Whether or not I know the person is wholly irrelevant.

Of course there's a difference in coffees. The one with caramel flavor is clearly superior.

[Jin Ling, that's not even -... Anyway. With the easy part of his reply over, the rest takes a little thinking.]

It would never be enough.

[That's what he wants to believe. If reality is far more complicated, he still doesn't think it's the wrong answer.]

It depends on why they did it, doesn't it?

Why does it matter how it tastes as long as it does what it's supposed to?

[As far as he's concerned, coffee is pretty much just medicine and it's point is to keep him awake so he can work and read and do stuff through the night. So that's a simple question to answer so he gets it out of the way first.]

That's a complicated question. Does the person who committed the crime regret what they did? Will they be likely to repeat this action? What reason did they have for the murder? What can be done to give peace and justice for the deceased and their family?

If it were someone I know, then I should also reflect on why I wasn't able to prevent it from happening.

No amount of punishments could bring the dead back to life, so it's more important to focus on preventing the same from happening again and to make amends.

[You should thank his pal Dell for introducing speech-to-text for him because otherwise, this would be incomprehensible.

Also he's just going to ignore the first part because UUUUUH....(gestures to canon)]

I dunno I never had a good cup of coffee. It all taste the same to me. Throw some sugar in it maybe? I'm not the coffee guy, sniper is.

did you murder someone bro

[ he will CALL THE POLICE ]

Repetance required.

Strange questions. [ Are you really that bored? ]

The system of justice I've worked with has always focused more on preserving public safety than giving solace to the victims, but orcish tribes in the Field of Stars had a solution some find particularly elegant.

Someone who committed a particularly heinous crime would, upon knowledge of their guilt, have their face scarred and their name stripped from them.

It was understood that an orc marked in such a manner was no longer protected by their laws and customs.
