Well it also means being owned by another person and you owning them. Somehow it’s almost like that 14th amendment thing doesn’t even exist.

You wanted to implement caning in America, so my dig at you about sharia was just that and yes you don’t get to lecture me about the dictatorship that is SG.

Most of the kids will be BURNING their pot in this. Vaping however, is still exposing other people to your second hand smoke, which needs to remain criminalized.

Still doesn’t fix anything. Also what about women? Plenty of em, and they are far less often reported.

Actually there are jails, mins, mediums, maxes and “supermax” prisons. Minimums are usually derisively referred to as camp cupcake. You’re still a criminal when you commit a crime, there’s no quotes required.

It’s all industry sponsored.

You are not aware nicotine is a poisonous substance in its own right then?

Change look to being and we’re set.

Groan. I wish people would stop promoting vaping as if it’s better than smoking. It’s not. The studies that do exist that suggest otherwise are all industry funded.

I dunno, I’ve found most phones I’ve bought directly from a manufacturer are at least 50% charged.

I’ve been curious about Xiaomi. They’re right on that inflection point between what Japan and then South Korea once were (cheap manufacturers of other people’s ideas) and shifting simple production either inland or to Vietnam.

Most criminals are profoundly stupid. Research bears it out. They are people who you think “WTF were you thinking? How was that plan going to work out for you?”. Many wouldn’t have finished high school anyway. And then they do it over and over again. It’s almost as if they think diddling their GF’s kids repeatedly…

Which one of us has worked in this area, because it’s not you? Sex offenders are often well to do, needing access to such things as computers. We had one guy under supervision who was a very well paid and sneaky lawyer and many many more showed themselves to be capable of making a lot of money.

And you are a terrible person. Sharia too?

We don’t know if that actually works. Many sex offenders have been shown to re-offend even with that and it shows an overly simple notion of how the mind works. In addition it has been used against populations in the past that leaves an awful taste in most people’s mouths.

Prisons in the US are not rehabilitative in design, although some were at one point. Lorton was designed that way originally but that went out of vogue even before the war on drugs began. Prisons exist for both punishment (which is simply built into every system of justice the world over) and rehabilitation, if…

I live in the middle of your experiment every day and it’s not as awesome as you purport it to be. You also have no solution beyond “close prisons”, whereas I have real experience with both how sentences are meted out, how the probation and parole systems work as well as don’t work and what we have tried and not…

No, the point of prison is both punishment and reform.

Overall time served has that effect, but given that probation and parole supervision in almost every single jurisdiction is almost non-existent, prison in those jurisdictions are safer for the general population.

And you have a cite? Or you’re just jerking off your idea of places you’ve never been to or lived in across our screens?
