The WSJ had an article two days ago titled Getting Into Day Care Is Becoming Harder For Today's Dogs. (I can't link to this article because it is subscription-based. If you really want a copy I can email it to you). The article details how a couple of different dog day care centers are getting more particular about who they take in. First, a day care for dogs is different that a kennel. A kennel usually has the dog in isolation (except for some exercise time usually at additional charge) while the day care will have dogs that socialize together, roaming freely, playing and having probably a better time than if they were with the owners alone.Many of these day care centers are requiring new applicants to fill out forms that are sometimes seven pages long. They are requiring letters of recommendation from a veterinarian, trainer, and/or other reputable source. There is the personal interview as well - sometimes lasting all day - to actually monitor how the potential new resident will interact with the current residence. They don't discriminate based on size or color or breed, although some breeds by nature require additional scrutiny.
I found it fascinating - that humans have advanced to the level to provide this screening, yet the same screening does not apply to humans (showing no advancement in sociological concepts). What if the human race had the same constraints that these dog day care centers had? What if the human race did not allow violent types (pedophiles, rapists, murderers, terrorists, etc.) - and just removed them from the list of acceptable types. Acceptable types could be of any race, religion (as long as it did not promote violence), sex, etc. - in other words, only good people stay. Global peace is possible - after the scum has been removed.
I'm sure there will be those that will liken this to Hitler or some nonsense as this, but before you do I'd suggest you read the history books about Hitler. It can be a peaceful world - but not as long as evil remains among us. This evil will just not disappear, so in the mean time there will be wars to clean out the scum.

Yeah, a bit of vanity for pets, but the thought behind the post was how people can screen out the undesirables when it comes to animals yet have a problem doing the same for undesirable humans. Could be all be living in a better world if the scum as not allowed among us (and I don't mean their in prisons either)?
It has been tried repeatedly, and never works - can you give me an example of where pedophiles, rapists, murderers, terrorists, etc. have attempted to be purged from a country but failed?
Some countries do have extremely strict penalties (often death) and that does seem to work. You call that fascism?
Well swift and sure punishment our system does not have. Pre-screening as far at this post was concerned was that of individuals that already had convicted of violent crimes - not that might yet haven't.
I think the point I was trying to sneak up on was the concept of having those conviced of the death penalty be put to death (novel huh). I'd also expand the death penalty to other violent crimes as well.
In our flawed system we often turn justice into some kind of game. For example, Brian Nichols - the one that shot all those people (4) in an Atlanta courthouse where he was appearing on charges of rape - is treated as a "suspect", he is just accused. In our sad system, although there were plenty of witnesses and well documented, we pretend he just ate a hamburger and was arrested because he was black. DUH. Our justice system is in serious need of repair. I'd have no problem, after being caught, of him appearing right then and there before a judge and convicted to death. Nope - we play games, and he will probably get out early and kill again.
What if the human race had the same constraints that these dog day care centers had?
You are confusing two issues. The dog day care center is NOT stating that certain dogs shall not exist, ONLY that they can't be housed at their facility (probably due to liability issues).
You, on the other hand, are suggesting that certain categories of people should not (or not be allowed to?) exist. There is a chasm of difference here.
