Eh, everyone is entitled to their opinions.

slippery slopes are the most fun....and this is all conjecture, so why not!!!!so we should kill people who break the law and cause disorder? uh.... slippery slope....
The Expire has made a good point from a nature's standpointt. The ill or burdens on society are weeded out. happens all the time in nature..............

For the record, I never said the process of evaluation should be taken lightly nor did I ever imply we should euthanize everyone who breaks a law and causes disorder. 
I was talking seriously disturbed people who commit heinous crimes, are otherwise intelligent and coherent but lacking moral compass. In the real world these people are a very present threat no matter how caged up and out of sight we try to keep them, they will always locate and cater to a certain type of personality spreading like a virus causing ripples and creating more disorder. Being murdered or isolated in prison doesn't appear to me to be a very humane alternative.

I lack a 'moral compass'. Though I've not killed anyone yet. It makes me curious though... if I offed a few people I didn't like, not really feeling one way or another about it, why is that worse than someone who believes it was wrong but managed to do it anyway? Or someone who believes it was right for them to do that? All three have shown they are willing and capable of the act - one, even that they are willing and capable of an act they believe is immoral.

Did you really just ask me why killing someone and not feeling one way or another about it or feeling murder was the right thing to do is worse? Rehabilitation and possibility of reentering society.
If you didn't like them enough to kill them, I'd say that's feeling one way or another about them. You'd be risking your own freedom to kill these people, pretty bold and stupid move for someone who doesn't feel one way or another about things.
Luckily for you being a troll isn't against the law, even when enjoyed as much as you do.

Interesting. So, there's no other way to be rehabilitated? What about someone who believes they were wrong? You don't even need to convince them... but their belief didn't stop them once, would you still count on it?
To make it plainer than it already is, I was referring to not feeling one way or another about the act of killing people I disliked. As opposed to feeling I had done something wrong, or was justified in my actions.
Neither is being really bad with context, so I guess you'll be alright. Well, unless it was the context in which a law applies. Then I guess you might have issues.

Really? I would have said sophisticated, because for some reason people seem to use a lot of quotation when they're going for that. What's a more generic this-is-a-statement way of saying it then?
EDIT:
Vegetarian, not vegan.
FURTHER EDIT:
and I'm not necessarily sure someone who didn't instinctively feel that a thing was wrong or right couldn't follow a similar lifestyle if it made sense to them to do that.
Did I say it requires it?
You stated that was 'sort of the idea behind science' I was emphasizing that it has nothing to do with science in and of itself. In essence the part about 'other people sit back and say they think it's junk science etc' is irrelevant.
Sure, it happens with anyone making observations or even any claims about anything. So?
I also wouldn't say it is really that off topic when discussing whether or not a person could be influenced by one form or another of art to execute something like this. That's just me though.
My statement was a critique of myself, not of you.
Was seeing a psychiatrist beforehand.

Yeah, they're reporting that she specializes in the study/treatment of schizophrenia.
I bet the university is now worried about legal liability. Sadly, this case could result in schools being less willing to provide mental health assistance to students.

Holmes' psychiatrist was disciplined by Colorado Medical Board

And her six year old daughter was killed in the shooting. I don't know how you go on after something like that, unless you have other children that you have to stay alive for.
