I see that you only recently started HxH 2011. What do you think of it so far?
My profile avatar is Aiko Tanaka from the manga Oyasumi Punpun. It's a really amazing manga and she's one of my favorite characters!
Ideas like the Sibly System arise when people have the wrong concept about crimes and justice. You cannot stop a crime that hasn't happened; if you try to do so, you'll have an inherently flawed justice system. Likewise, if you support rehabilitation over punishment then that'll also defeat the point of having the notion of 'crimes'. A society where all criminals are sent to rehab cannot be stable because everyone knows that they'll get rehab anyway; and it is very much true that the only thing stopping most people from committing crimes is the idea of punishment. So, basically, crime is only an 'act'. It cannot be confined to a 'thought' even if that thought is 100% conducive to leading the subject to commit the crime. And justice should merely be there to punish people as per their crimes.
Considering all that, the entire idea behind Sibyl System was wrong and quite frankly, no one in the show had the right idea to solve the problem. Makishima recognized the limiting capabilities of the Sibyl System -- because, to be fair, most of the time it is through defying authority that we achieve valuable innovation -- but failed to see the real problem and so was unable to do anything about it in a more reasonable manner. While Akane merely suffered from cognitive dissonance. And I don't even remember what Kogami was all about.
i dont know how youre able to actually start a discussion about that on this type of site without getting heartburn from reading all the replies hahaha
