Yeah, constant rape can cut into reading time.

Plenty of time to read when you're dead.

Life. I'm assuming in a prison system that doesn't have mass rape. I could get a lot of reading done.


That's a Catholic tradition I'm unfamiliar with.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I always thought mass was a very American tradition.

Well, at least prison guards get fired rather than relocted if they get caught raping the inmates under their care.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

That's ridiculous.  I can't believe that a guy whose job it is to send people to jail could possibly see any value in human life.  Otherwise, how could he do something so antisocial?

:grr:

It's because I value human life that I think those who harm human life must go to gaol in response to their actions.

Vengeance is a rather pagan ethos.

It has nothing to do with vengeance.  Rather, I believe in the healing powers of gaol. -_-

Canadian gaol must be a lot different than American gaol.

Wow, yours must be very different than ours.  :lol:

I dunno though. Being institutionalized just damages people. Even if it's a golden cage.

So if someone, say, robs a liquor store at gunpoint, what should we do with that person?  Since putting them in gaol just damages them.

1. Establish a negative income tax so that no one need rob a liquor store to secure the rudiments of existence.
2. Execute anyone robbing a liquor store.

P.S.: If society can't afford to do 1, it obviously can't afford to gaol them, so proceed to step 2 anyway.
