[QUOTE="SallyR, post: 3225957, member: 116703"] Wait a second, I just want to have this entirely clear in my head. You are suggesting that there is a problem with the death penalty, as a mistake could be made. You are happy with naming and shaming, as it is flawless and perfect, and no mistake could ever be made, despite the fact that the consequences of being wrong (or even being right and someone having a common name) could potentially cause much greater damage to a much larger number of people. Something doesn't quite fit here. The potential consequences of naming and shaming are much, much more dire than the death penalty, whether a mistake is made or not. Edit: The only conclusion that I can come to is that revenge against the criminal is more important than protecting others, which I don't think you'd agree with. However it's the only logical conclusion. [/QUOTE]
