Real Life Penalty Points:

Chemical Burn

OK, we have penalty points for motoring offenses, should we bring in penalty point offenses for real life, and upon the accumulation of 100, you spend the rest of your life in jail. For example, Littering 1 point, burglary 10, armed robbery, 50, perjury resulting in the imprisonment, incarceration or even probably imprisonment of an innocent person, automatic 100.

Plagerising somebody else's off-topic posts in a pointless thread that you started, in order to start another pointless thread?

If it weren't so annoying I'd consider it practically zen.

You'll have jail time in between for smaller penalty points, and points will vanish at a rate of 10 every five years. But if you accumulate 100 at once, you can never lose them and you can opt for life in a very harsh prison or hanging.

1 point = €500 fine, and 10 points = 1 year in prison and 50 points = 25 years etc.

*litters 99 times and gets 99 points.
*gets caught for the hundredth time.
*Murders litter warden and buries the body to stay out of jail.

Damn fine plan,no way it couldn't work.

Great plan. Just like the Motoring points system, abuse of power is unlikly to result in almost anyone at all being let off their points.

It sounds like a great and equitable idea.


Luckily, like most of the guff proposed on here, it will remain just that, some internet lads ramblings.

Whenever I read this guy's posts, I automatically imagine seeing them again within in the pages of a newspaper sometime in the future. There's a fair whack of Anders Breivik or Timothy McVeigh off it all.

And a ban, but accumulated points from other fairly recent pointless threads by the OP should be enough to bring back the death penalty.

Don't agree,the prison for life thing might be a bit extreme but you have to have a deterrent.Sounds a fair and equitable system otherwise.

the death penalty is gone in this country get over it, we don't have the money to build such harsh prisons either, higher sentences for real criminals and fines for small crimes including monetry crimes will suffice

As with the driving points system it has an in built deterrent effect in that you don't want to increase your penalty points.Rather than prison for life a percentage increase in penalties for each ten points might work.

Getting to the top of the queue in the shop, getting served and then starting to look for your money - 5 points.

Stopping at the top of the escalator to look around and therefore blocking everyone coming behind you - 5 points.

Taking more than 60 seconds at the cash machine or using 2 or more cards - death penalty.
