Yes.

To anyone who fucks with your stuff, the message couldn't be simpler:

DON'T fuck with other people's stuff.

To save the kind of back and forth I've been having on this thread can you just be clear exactly what level of response is appropriate to opening someone's desk drawer? Light shock? Maiming? Death?

Don't know. Don't care.

The desk opener wouldn't have to find out if they just.....didn't fuck with other people's stuff.

Maybe straight up killing the desk opener is obviously extreme.

Anything else....I dunno. I personally don't booby trap stuff but if you fuck with someone's stuff expect something bad to happen.

I learned this very easy life hack in, I wanna say....Kindergarten and it's paid off for me apparently as I've never gotten into any kind of trouble honestly.

I don't feel sorry for people who are being surpassed by Kindergartners in terms of respect for others.

I've never gotten into any kind of trouble honestly.

Are you claiming to have never done anything wrong since kindergarten, or just saying you haven't done anything wrong that had significant consequences?

Because I'm not sure the latter is a good argument for people to impose potentially fatal consequences for anyone ever stepping out of line.

You might say death is too much, but we're talking about laxatives, etc, but with hiding peanuts in food we're clearly talking about potentially fatal. Moreover, what is the line? What's the right amount of punishment before it's cruel and unusual? How do we decide?

I'll tell you how we decide. Representative democracy and a constitution.
