Seeing as how I'm not a sociopath, I'm not. What about you?

Not sure - is there a test I can do online? Maybe laughing at the cat being put in the bin would suggest I am?
Anyway, I'm not suggesting that the death penalty _should_ be introduced, I am just providing a hard link between increasing the penalties and reducing the rate of crime. So to say that it's not effective is untrue - just that there are ethical reasons for not jumping the gun. Perhaps going halfway and making punishment something to fear will have a deterrent effect? Do you follow my reasoning?
SOCIOPATHS ARE PEOPLE TOO. ITS JUST BECAUSE I'M NOT ON THE FORBES RICH LIST.
