All Games Banned From MO Prisons

A while back we mentioned that Missouri pulled violent games from prisons on the basis that hardened criminals shouldn't be practicing their sharpshooting technique. Now, the new governor has removed all video games from the MO prison system. From the AP story: "Blunt, a Republican who took office two weeks ago, called video games 'a luxury that inmates should not be allowed to enjoy.'"

Not quite right

How about this?

If you are convicted beyond a shadow of a doubt of committing a crime with the intention of murder, or of murder, then you get the death penalty. You sickos are not accepted in our society anymore.

If you are convicted beyond a shadow of a doubt of committing a crime involving sex, like rape, molestation, etc, then you get the death penalty. You sickos don't belong in our society anymore.

(3) For everything else, you repay your debts and when you've done so, you can go free, under the careful eye of Uncle Sam. You are required to work in prison to repay your debts. You can't get out until the debts are repaid. Good behavior means you get a better paying job in prison. Poor behavior means you don't get a chance to work in prison. Oh, and you have to pay for your stay there as well. Private charities will help you get a better start in your life, should you be willing to participate.

I think this will help reduce the level of violent crime (crime with the intention to murder) and sex crimes to virtually nil, once we catch and terminate those who are guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt. Everyone else who commits serious crimes will pay the price for their crimes.

I think this is most fair.

You take a life, you pay with your life.
You ruin a life, you pay with your life.
You take a $20,000 car and wreck it, you have to make $20,000 and repay the owner.
You steal $5,000,000 from your shareholders, you have to make $5,000,000 and repay them.

You're the comedy, fool. Look it up. It's a widely-accepted fact verifiable via ANY source. Russia may have peaked past us for a few years in the 1990s, but we've basically held onto that title for quite awhile.

Wake the fuck up you inexecusable piece of complacent shit. This is not the land of the free. If you're too blinded by your own stubbornness to learn it from me, then look it up on google or wikipedia yourself. Moron.

Your post holds zero value whatsoever.

Why would I spoon feed this idiot his information, when he already told me I have zero credibility? He wont believe me, even though it's true. This has ZERO to do with how any professor teaches his course; that metaphor is laughable.

Why would I waste my time telling him something he doesn't believe when I already know it to be true? He's not worth it. I told him to verify the information independetly...... Using the most common tools to do so: Google, and Wikipedia. Somehow this is laudable and a subject of attack? On *slashdot*, I can be attacked for suggesting to use google to find something out?!? Did I wander into a parellel fucking universe? Should I be checking myself in the mirror for a goatee? What rod crawled up the ass of the rod in your ass?

Finally, you imply that anyone who doesn't love America should leave to go to Cuba. Total knee-jerk response there. So what, anyone who complains about America doesn't belong here? I guess, any voices of dissent should be quelled. There's a word for that: China. And another (well, 2 words actually): Saudi Arabia.

You, sir, belong in America less than I, becuase you do not even think people with different opinions should stay in the country. That sentiment is far more unamerican and dangerous to democracy than anything that *I* have said. So maybe YOU should move to somewhere where everyone is forced to love it or leave: Saudi Arabia, Iran, China. It's where your type belongs.
