  1. Re:Prison population on As Prison Population Sinks, Jails Are a Steal · · Score: 1

    Let's see if Finland is so liberal on crime when we up their black and hispanic populations to 30% (like in the U.S.)
    Rasicst much...?

    I would propose we gut the funding for Finlands schools, shunt any higher income kids with some of the exceptionally smart to excellent schools and let the rest fall into disrepair. We should also lock up a significant number of fathers and some mothers so kids can be raised by single parents or foster care. Finally, we should saddle youth with significant debts that make it difficult for them to progress their lives up the financial ladder. Maybe charging them for education and healthcare would do the trick.

    We could also consider adding a back door system of bribery to their political system to allow wealthy people to make their own laws and regulations, or at least polarize people and win over most of the stupids to some sort of self defeating political movement.

    I think it would increase government scrutiny. They have to track all sales consumption rather then only labor (currently).

    I could also see someone like Netflix stepping in, shows have changed distributors in the past. I think this is long overdue, even if it only provides HBO original programming it would be a great move.

    I think your trolling, but the reason a colonoscopy is preferred probably to do with inserting the bacteria far enough into your body to avoid having them killed by your natural defenses. Eaten bacteria would generally be killed by your stomach acid. i'm not sure how the other end protects itself.

    That pretty much sums up everything I've suspected about you. A closed mind is a terrible thing. Read some, nobody can experience everything. What your preaching is akin to a dark age mentality.
    I've had plenty of my own experiences and I do use them to learn and hopefully provide an example to others.

    Walk into any large corporation or government agency. You will see labor destroyed at a much faster rate then capital. The tax code is highly slanted toward favoring capital and destroying the value of labor.

    Wrong, socialism came first. Study how small communities worked. How many "settlers" would be classified as land thieves today. People worked from a common pot and contributed back to that common pot. Capitalists took advantage of new immigrants and desperate people to establish themselves and push a top down system to steal the wealth that was created by a socialist nation.

    People fought back and tried to create rules to help enforce the common good and Capitalists undermined them using the same desperate and uneducated people.

    Why is capital valued so much higher then labor? Because the people who had it made the rules? One is useless without the other.

    And don't give me that risk bullshit, I take a risk when I choose to invest my labor just like you take a risk when you choose to invest your capital.
