Q.
Why do things like this happen, and keep happening, today ?

[i.e. miscreants, ripping off, the assets of others.......
progressing all the way in our society,
to our LAWMAKERS telling porkies during election campaigns,
in an effort, to subvert the electoral process, so as to get elected,
AND then, also telling porkies,
AND also acting corruptly, while conducting the 'affairs' of state.]

ad infinitum, in our    'modern'    'sophisticated'    western societies today......
we see examples, of 'people behaving badly', violently, corruptly, oppressing others.





miscreant = = a person who behaves badly or unlawfully.

ad infinitum = = endlessly; forever.



A.
Because we are societies......'in our nature' who have chosen,
to allow miscreants, to abandon personal accountability, for wrongdoing.

A.
And because there are no [real] consequences.....for murder, for robbery, for corrupt actions, or for egregious theft.



We need to bring back public executions.....for really bad [and harmful] crimes.
.....for crimes which tear at 'the fabric' of our society,
and destroy, the confidence
[which each one of us, should have a right to expect]
from our [paid for] JUSTICE SYSTEM.

We need to see punishment [after lawful conviction].....
which is commensurate with the crime that was committed.

egregious = = outstandingly bad; shocking.

commensurate = = corresponding in size or degree.


SOFT-COCK


.


Our societies are in a terrible, LAWLESS state, in this current age.......

We all see it.....happening, in front of our eyes.

And yet the majority of men today, will insist,
that we [mankind] have no WANT, or NEED, for any serious consequence,
for the breaking,
of laws such as these.

Matthew 19:17
[Jesus said].....if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18  He saith unto him, Which?
Jesus said,
Thou shalt do no murder,
Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19  Honour thy father and thy mother: and,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.


e.g.
Please explain to me.....what is 'out of place', or what is wrong,
in the consequence required [as per...Deuteronomy 19:19].....
if a person is proven to be a false witness [against another individual] ?

BUT......our judicial system would 'never dream' of inflicting a punishment for a criminal act, in this way.

WHY NOT ?

Deuteronomy 19:16
If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
17  Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
18  And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
19  Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
20  And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
21  And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Not sure what it is like today, and there have been some changes, but the last time I saw a financial advisor, no financial advisor would have recommended a budget SMSF, because there is no way for them to get kickbacks from it.

That sounds about right. They are very generous with the minimum threshold, but once you are above that you lose 50c for each dollar earned. But, at least for the pension (not for income tax) they assume you earn a fixed percentage in income from your investment, and ignore what you actually earn.

Not really. Just buy gold and silver and bury it in the back yard
