Not sure why you are downvoted and not parent comment; both make the unsubstantiated claim their position is rational and another position is not.

Ah, but that's hardly a claim that needs substantiating. Everybody knows that people can change, adapting to your environment is a basic survival instinct.

Anyone arguing that people don't... can't change obviously has a deeply twisted understanding of humanity.

Maybe because it directly contradicts the facts? If people can't change then why is the recidivism rate in humane prisons 20% and in punishment oriented prisons 70%?

A more likely explanation however is that there is another reason why he is downvoted: because he suggests killing all violent offenders.
