God Bless Our America Democracy.

[b]America officially has more prisoners than any other country in the world.

We truely are a leading example of freedom to all other nations.[/b]

So how are your plans to move to northern Africa developping? It sounded pretty good. I know some people who have done it with very little money.

By the way - here’s a Dutch-Arab reaction to the increase in government control of modern liberalist countries. Amsterdam’s population is 40% Moroccan descent. Very nice.

Is it not the case that more people in prison = safer streets?

no not really.
And as long as there are guns, hand weapons and drugs freely available to the public at large in america there will always be new criminals, especially since the us crime service is geared for vengence. Prisoners leave prisons with worse mental health than when they went in, and if they didn’t go in with a drug addiction, they’ll certainly have one when they come out.

Prison only works if people are treated for their personality problems.
and it only works if very dangerous people are locked up permanently. 90 % of prisoners commit mental defect, motivated crimes. they are basically people who got off to a bad start in life and grew up with their attention and violence problems untreated. with the result that when they became adults they were criminals. most of them are mentally ill in one form or another but its cheaper to lock them up rather than treat them, so the government uses prison as a cheap alternative to treating patients.

It’s similar to curing aids by locking every sexually active person up, whilst providing sex education classes whilst there’s a latex and pill shortage, and a massive anti abortion movement, all at the same time.

it’s rediculous to lock people up for a short time, and then release them without curing their problems that caused them to commit crimes in the first place, its barbarism.

That is the idiotic moralist position, yes.

Actually I no longer hold those plans anymore.

Lately I have been thinking about Canada and Alaska.

Good assesment. :slight_smile:

That, my friend, is truly a good idea.
A farm in the upper north of Canada, so much pine and spruce trees, sunsets, and peace.
