I saw the previews for Death Race, and I have not seen the movie yet, but this post will be based on its assumptions the movie makes.
The movie starts with criminals being given a chance to redeem themselves by participating in a race, a race that people apparently kill each other at.
This begs the question, why do we only use criminals for nothing, except using tax money? They are given food, air conditioning, exercise all for nothing. Normal people work for these things, why should criminals be spared?
So, if you are opposed to 'manual labor' for criminals, first ask yourself why, then secondly, ask yourself why don't we get something useful out of them? Namely: entertainment.
Consider the merits if we did have a 'death race' in effect today. Criminals would be killing each other, which has obvious benefits. Secondly, it would be one of the highest rated shows on tv. Imagine nascar, now imagine it with guns, fast cars, explosions, etc. I hate nascar, but with guns and explosions, it would suddenly be a lot sicker. Plus we have the nice human element of redemption. These wayward souls are just trying to redeem themselves, if you are Christian, isn't that what jesus would want you to do?
