If you say so.

I can’t help but notice you refuse to provide proof to backup your lies.

Not entirely, no.

There are a LOT of things that are no commoditized.

If the market bares commodification for a product (or service), then it should be commoditized. Simple enough. Efficient markets. It's what you want or should want.

Have you ever asked yourself why you turn every single thread into personal attacks instead of simply engaging with the topic?

Are you capable of discussing ideas without lashing out at strangers on the internet? You heckle strangers then accuse them of being victims. It’s such a bizarre dynamic,

You never answered any of the questions from yesterday- do you believe that work/training programs such as manufacturing license plates shouldn't be available to prisoners?

Now you’re trying to triangulate because you’re backed into a corner.

No matter how violent the crime, until recently, the longest sentence a criminal could receive was 21 years. In fact, convicted mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik was sentenced to 21 years for killing 77 people in 2011. Norway recently amended their penal code to allow for 30-year maximum sentences for certain crimes including genocide, crimes against humanity, and other war crimes.
Inexcusable. Ted Bundy would have been out hunting down new randoms in 2010?

Norway has 5M people living in a homogenous society. Comparing Norway and the US is silly. Perhaps there are elements we could extract, such as transfer to a nicer unit, with training opportunities for good behavior.

Phrasing it this way implies that inmates have a choice in providing prison labor. Louisiana law mandates that all prisoners serving a felony sentence must work while incarcerated, which explains the insane number of convicted felons in Louisiana.

For example, graffiti is a felony. Unauthorized removal of a shopping cart is a felony (obviously targeting the homeless population).

Rehabilitation. Norway was successful in dramatically reducing their recidivism rates once their system shifted from punitive to rehabilitative.


Yes.. because Norway and the United States are just alike other than the prison system.

You know there was a judge in Charlotte, NC that took your example to the extreme. Even up to the 14th arrest. That criminal just killed a girl for no reason while shouting “I got that white girl!!!!!!”

Is there such thing as rehabilitation for “dizrespekt”? Cause there is row after row of mugshots from the capital city to the local area that are shooting it here because of it.

Correct.

Our population is driven by risk/reward. We are very different.

Do we have more criminals? You bet. Its the price of our freedom.

You asked me for my recommendation and now you’re telling me why something we haven’t tried wouldn’t work.

No hope for you. Zero. None. It’s over. Finished. Pack up the bags for the insane asylum.

No one with any sense believes that.

Crime reporting and stats is the biggest GIGO example in our country.

Unauthorized removal


So theft? Why are homeless people supposed to be entitled to take the property of grocery stores?
