Then why do we need to be protected from said individuals, if they didn't choose to commit the dastardly deed? If they didn't choose, then THEY can't be held accountable. If your logic is valid, then wouldn't they just go back to being their old self once the "event" is delt with? Why prison?
For example: What if I robbed a bank because I was poor? Obviously, the sitution was caused due to me being poor and wanting a better life. Why imprison me, if the situation is to blame. If I didn't CHOOSE to be poor, then the sitution is out of my hands, correct? Why not just imprison the situation, then?
Your logic is corrupt.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 118505You need to think deeper. Determinsim does not remove accountability. People need to be heald accountable for their actions because actions have consequences, not because anyone is or is not "responsible" for them. responsibility is a meaningless red herring. Accountability is about consequences, not blame. Your hypothetical poor bank robber must be held accountable simply because it is not good for society to have people running around robbing banks. It does not matter whether the robber was "responsible" for his actions in some meaningless, magical sense. What matters is that bank robbery is an antisocial action, and society must defend itself against such actions. My logic is sound and irrefutable. Your perspective is corrupt, because you are deluded by the fiction of free will.
