There's so much you're missing with this topic that I'm gonna sharpen your shovel so that you can dig better.

Well, to be fair (fare? Don't feel like googling that) you are the one who suggested executing children for taking gum ^^

From the criminal's perspective though,

Would you rather live your life bearing the shame of your transgressions loudly declared by a maiming that has rendered you dependent on the society you have violated, or would you rather liberate society of your burden?

From society's perspective,

Would you rather subject someone to the forgoing, or rid them of their shame and the free the good peoples of that burden. Why should upstanding individuals be punished for the failures of others?
