Anybody see A Clockwork Orange?

Gee what could go wrong. Human rights groups will up in arms about this issue

Saw it with my Droogs.

Anybody see A Clockwork Orange?

Exactly, and a disturbing movie to say the least, especially for its time.

I remember some Star Trek NG episodes along those lines. When you get good at implanting things into minds, people will believe anything! Who to marry, who to vote for, & who to assonate.

Try and remember this from the old Superman show: Truth, Justice and the American way. Then hold this up to that standard.

Terrifying.

Certain ones deserve 1,300 VAC…..

I always wondered why 13 was an unlucky number. Now I know why!

I think a lobotomy would be even more effective. And cheaper. But We are always going to have the objectors.

I read a science fiction book once where they had a similar technology. They tried showing serial killers how the victims felt during a attack. The killers got off on it instead of learning remorse.

Will this be seen as the mark of the beast?

It was done to Chief O'Brien in Star Trek DS9, and I think they repeated the plot device in Star Trek:Voyager.

Having a career in Law Enforcement and studied criminals quite a bit in my degree program. Most people cannot even begin to fathom the minds and thought processes of most serial and life long criminals. They do not think like most average or normal folks. It is always the victims fault for putting themselves in the circumstance that allowed the criminal to commit their act. The average person would not be able to sleep at night if they truly realized how perverse and warped the criminal mind is.
What is truly unsettling, is that we are now seeing these same criminal thought processes in younger ages and more are now committing truly heinous criminal acts and the juvenile justice system is not able to deal with these serious criminal juveniles.

I've got a few brains I'd like to try that on...

I'm old school, get a rope.

I’m not interested in rehabilitation of a convict. I don’t want them to experience grief for a short time then be released. For me it’s about PUNISHMENT! You took a life or somehow impacted a life so significantly that you’re in jail. Now you can spend your life in a cage. I don’t care if you ever show remorse. But you will spend your life in a cage.

Will never work. Too much money in the prison industry

Instant everything meets virtual reality. Sociopaths don't feel empathy or remorse. But we'll spend billions trying to convince ourselves otherwise.
