  - That's a nicer way of saying vengence - Guigue May 12, 11:36 2
    - By what definition of vengence? - Name Withheld By Request May 12, 11:40 1
      - I don't see how it would bring closure, personally. "Oh, the murderer's dead. Still doesn't bring my loved one back" -- nm - Roger More May 12, 11:41
  - [deleted] 2

- deterrence -- nm - Nightcrawler May 12, 11:29
- DeTerrence! -- nm - oblique May 12, 11:29

      - And THIS is why the system is broken. -- nm - Jim May 12, 11:39
    - for me, that is not an ethically valid reason. -- nm - znufrii May 12, 11:31 1

  - In fact, it works in reverse. It sends the message that killing is justifiable and cheapens the perceived sanctity of life. -- nm - Liberal Vermin May 12, 11:36 1
    - that is a very interesting point I hadn't considered. -- nm - znufrii May 12, 11:36
- DETERRENCE. -- nm - nubby May 12, 11:28
- [deleted] 7
  - I don't believe it works for murder. But possibly for treason -- nm - crash davis May 12, 11:29
  - True, thanks to both of you - Guigue May 12, 11:28 5
    - Yeah, I don't think it's effective for that purpose. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 11:30 4
      - I doubt a lot of people think "I'll kill that guy. Anyway I will only get life in prison, so it's fine" -- nm - Guigue May 12, 11:32 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        on TV, it often seems like they are :) -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 11:38
        
        (Most murderers wouldn't know how to do this even if they wanted to.) -- nm - TFox May 12, 11:38
- deterrence. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 11:27
Has there ever been a good steampunk influenced movie? -- nm - crash davis May 12, 11:26 35
- could you attribute some of that to Firefly/Serenity? - Max May 12, 11:33 1
  - and that is thinking outside the box as well - well done! -- nm - crash davis May 12, 11:35
- The Prestige? (the Tesla subplot) -- nm - Roger More May 12, 11:33 4
  - I hadn't considered The Prestige -- nm - crash davis May 12, 11:33 3
    - I just found a wiki list - I haven't yet seen that and was going to ask. nm but: -- (link) - b. May 12, 11:34 2
      - it's really good -- nm - sherlock homie May 12, 11:35 1

    - what? -- nm - Mel Profit May 12, 11:29 3
      - that movie is *terrrrrrrible*. -- nm - TFox May 12, 11:29 2
        
        I was thinking by "good" he meant good relative to the steampunk. - Mel Profit May 12, 11:30
        
        (word.) -- nm - JaxSean May 12, 11:30
- by definition, that's impossible - sherlock homie May 12, 11:27 8
  - actually, I really like a lot of the design elements -- nm - crash davis May 12, 11:28 7
    - have you ever seen steampunkified PCs, Macs, and phones? -- nm - loosilu May 12, 11:34 3
      - I saw a page somebody linked here with a PC that was just magnificent -- nm - crash davis May 12, 11:37 2
        
        That PC is here, along with a whole lot of other stuff built by the same guy. -- (link) - loosilu May 12, 11:38 1

  - biased in favor of what? -- nm - sherlock homie May 12, 11:27 7
    - "All movies being an 'A'." -- nm - bery s.i. May 12, 11:30 1
      - I really should stop using letters, and start using the "Stars" system that Zip.ca gives me. - Beryllium May 12, 11:35
    - anything involving Sherlock Holmes. -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 11:28 4
      - (Although Jeremy Brett will always be the one true Holmes actor, IMO.) -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 11:29 3
        
        Who? -- nm - Basil Rathbone May 12, 11:31 2
        
        I knew you'd fire back with that. :P -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 11:35 1
