Fights to the death similar to those once held in the Colloseum in Rome should be allowed

Thank you for your response I will now disprove your statements "People who take heroin are only harming themselves. Killers harm others. This way killers would be killing killers and both would have agreed to fight in the first place. This is obviously preferable to killers killing innocent people. " ~Flawed logic. Heroin users harm THEMSELVES not others. Killers hard OTHERS not themselves. The connection is completely opposite. Also, a killer does not usually just kill random people. Their reason for killing includes a motive. =. Definition. = motive [moh-tiv] - . http://dictionary.reference.com... 1. something that causes a person to act in a certain way, do a certain thing, etc. ; incentive. 2. the goal or object of a person's actions: Her motive was revenge. 3. (in art, literature, and music) a motif. "We don't know who they are until they have already killed and even then we have to have caught them. This way they would expose themselves to us and we could keep a close eye on them. " ~Your whole argument is based on theory. This is highly illogical as well that they would expose themselves just to fight with the possibility of FAILURE. ~~A killer would be better off taking the chance of killing whomever they were planning on killing, over turning themselves in to fight someone they might not come out alive against. "That may be the case with some, but thats the same with every sport. Also high risk jobs tend to be the highest paid. The reason for this is because nobody wants to do them. It can't get much riskier than this. If the kid was bright he'd study. If hes not? Well, we'd just be allowing natural selection to take place again, which would be for the good of our species. " ~So you are saying that the dumb deserve to be turned into murderers and the smart deserve to live? Because if so then you are implying that everyone who stepped into that ring would die. Which in fact, with the rules you have come up with, one would die, and one would live. ~Thus we are making murderers celebrities. "In most case they just want their children to live well. I doubt these parents would think that sending them to their possible deaths would be a good way to guarantee this. And these fights would obviously only be legal for those that are over the age of responsibility. The child would not legally be able to fight until he was over the age of responsibility. It is possible that in some cases the parents could have the child prepared for the time that he reaches this age, but these parents would obviously be crazy and murderous anyway and as you said "children model themselves after what their parents do". " ~I negate your first statement in this argument above. In most cases parents want their children to take part in something they did not get to do as a child. =. Source. = . http://dkrobus.newsvine.com... ~~With your ending statement you are also contradicting yourself. You are saying that parents would not affect a child's track of mind, yet as long as their parents are crazy and murderous it is okay. "A society where killings occur in stadiums among killers and where those outside the stadiums need not live in fear. " ~As repeated above. Not all killers will turn themselves in. You are offering a flawless scenario that is actually VERY MUCH FLAWED. By offering an arena for killing there would be an increased sense of justification to kill thus leading to an increase in violence OUTSIDE the arena.
