Too many say that alcoholism, drug abuse, addiction, sex addiction, etc. are not behavioral choices. They say that these are not consciously made decisions. They say that these are diseases. These are not choices that you are consciously actively making. They say that these are completely out of your control, that you have no choice, that you have no ability to control your behavior. They say that you simply do not possess the cognitive ability for healthy ___ [[non destructive, productive]]] behavior.
if you know and acknowledge for a fact that you are not capable of making good decisions, then the law cannot allow you to make those bad decisions that harm people. if you know that you do not possess the ability to make good decisions.
Sorry, you can't have it both ways. you can’t say that you have no control over the fact that you make irresponsible, stupid, dangerous decisions --
And yet at the same time expect that you are freely allowed to make those decisions.
free will
letting serial killers go free
Either admit that this person HAS free will and therefore they chose of their own accord, and of their own volition to commit this heinous act. Therefore they should be punished for making this choice.
-Or- admit that they did this thing because there is truly no such thing as free will. In which case they still should not be let out in public society anyway. Who knows what other hell they will wreak.
Either way, I win.
