What kind of society....

Yeah, they’re called license plates.

I’ve seen a few lives ruined and families broken by alcohol and gambling. Heck I’ve seen families broken by online gaming. Seems like just about any addiction can do it.

Technically, no, you can’t buy a license plate. License plates are the property of the state. Drivers are only renting them.

No. It is not that it is illegal for private companies to buy prison-made goods – it is actually that it is illegal for products made by prisoners to move in interstate commerce by any means, unless the prisoners are paid a wage equal to what free workers would make doing the same labor.

The law does not apply to services or to goods sold directly back to the government.

Ashurst-Sumners Act

You know I’m always intrigued when posters call for more humanity to be shown towards violent criminals.

Are they really, really, so totally liberal in their outlook ?

So very deeply caring towards ALL people, as in an almost christ like manner ?
Or are they trying to justify their own actions, or the actions of their criminal friends and family ?

Justifying their own criminal actions by spouting off about “society”, and how much money the demonic corporations (For some reason they’re even MORE evil then other businesses), or rich people, or governments or so on and on and on, ad nauseam .

Are we REALLY supposed to turn a blind eye to say muggers because there are people out there who commit murders, which is much more bad, so mere mugging isn’t really an offence ?

Well I’ll tell you this, if somebody raped a loved one of mine, it wouldn’t console me that she might have been murdered, or that the criminal had an unhappy childhood, though I expect that **Pretty Vacant ** would, because of his saint like compassion for the underpriveleged

Yes its easy to justify your antisocial actions by telling yourself that they are a result of higher ethical motives.

Much easier then admitting that you’re a sociopath who preys on those weaker then yourselves.

One of the most contemptible attempts at justification that I’ve seen was the daughter of an aquaintance of mine, who when in court for shoplifting said that she wasn’t going to see any child of hers starve because the govenment didn’t pay enough benefits to feed him.
Till it was pointed out that she regulary smoked and drank, was wearing makeup (befoer we get distraction arguments, I’m making the point that you spend your money on your kids food before M/U if he’s starving), and just to add insult to injury had recently had her hair done.

Heres a little tip for those who suffer so terribly for those" brave little soldiers", serving time…

Tell them if they can’t do the time, then don’t do the crime.

According to PV, it will seriously piss off LEOs and capitalists everywhere if they can’t bang people up on account of they’re not committing any crimes.

So you’re saying liberals are wrong because they …

Actually, I’m not sure what exactly your point is. But it’s clear you think liberals are doing something really bad.

An imperfect one?

I’ve never been jailed, nor arrested.

And I think we go too far.

I think it’s bullshit we spend so much time, energy, and money incarcerating people for non-violent offenses like those surrounding marijuana. It’s a harmless, non-addictive plant (it’s actually quite beneficial, as evidenced by the growing use of medical mj), and I don’t think there’s any good reason to put people in prison over it. By legalizing marijuana, we could grow, regulate, and sell it here instead of money from the illegal drug trade supporting cartels and organized crime.

I’m not a marijuana activist, but I do believe much of what they say makes good sense. But I’m not here to get into a debate over legalization, or morality surrounding recreational drug use, it’s just my personal opinion.

I’m not surprised that you can’t actually understand my point, or choose to represent yourself as unable to, while putting up a strawman, as comprehension doesn’t seem to be your strong point.

No I don’t think that liberals are doing something wrong, by American standards I’m a liberal myself.

What I’m calling people on, as other posters recognised quite easily, though not of course yourself…

, is that those who IRL most probably haven’t got a liberal bone in their bodies, but ARE gangbangers, or friends and relatives of such, or who grew up in an environment of petty, and not so petty crime, representing their sympathy to habitual criminals as being based on humanitarian, or religious principles.

When in fact its based on their own empathy with the criminals, whether or not they’ve had the opportunity or confidence (or stupidity) to actually commit a crime.

Its a dishonest tactic (so no surprises there), but unfortunately “False Flag posting”, is not a rareity these days.

Crying crocodile tears is one of the most contemptable ways of debating ever.

That would be one that believes in the rule of law.

The issue boils down to the fact that we are a society of laws. If someone chooses to break the law, actions have consequences. They knew that what they were doing was wrong and chose to do it anyway; they do not deserve sympathy, but censure for their actions.

Perhaps instead of complaining about the fact that all those folks are in prison, why not complain about the fact that they made it necessary to put them in prison in the first place?
