OUR PRISONS ARE OVERCROWDED!

you hate everyone whos not you

No, just those like you that think it's one group's place to pay for the bad choices of another group.

If someone does something that causes a bad situation in their life, it's not anyone's place but theirs to pay the price for having done so.
 
fuck you


you are not king


we are a democracy

No, it's fuck the pieces of shit that make bad choices then demand someone else pay the price to offset their worthless ways.

If you think that some piece of shit deserves what I earned, do you have the guts to come and try to get it from me on their behalf? Unless you are, I AM the fucking king of what I earned you fucking road whore.

Calm down CFM...we all want you to be able to pay off your double wide.

You may think that shooting those who annoy you is going to solve problems but that doesn't work either. It's far better if we treat these peoples disease and return them to productivity and will cost you far less of your hard earned tax dollars than imprisoning them does. As for shooting them well let's just say there are some issues involving humanity, morality and ethics that prevent us from doing so but we will spare you those details as obviously they aren't important to you.

that's completely inaccurate, especially in the light of conservatives who support the drug war and it's equally evil law, civil asset forfeiture. policing for profit is just as bad, if not worse, than prison for profit.

Which police force has been replaced by a corporation?
 
So it's OK if someone gets so drunk they can't walk but wants to get behind the wheel of a car and drive?

At that point they are placing other people's bodies at risk.

You get to do what you want with your own body, until you take other people and put them at risk. So, you can get as drunk as you want without my interference, but you cannot take to the road and put my child at risk. It is relatively simple. You can put yourself at risk of death as much as you want, but you can't make that choice for others.
 
yea Damo...Thanks Obama!

What a self righteous crock of shit. You had me agreeing with you on the moral principles involved until you tried to float this bit of inane bigotry by. Any other ad hom logical fallacies you want try? This is the problem with you ideologues. Fact and principle be damned, its ideology that counts.

Maybe you hadn't noticed Damo but it wasn't "liberals" that created for profit prisons or anyone else you'd care to demonize. It's libertarian minded free market fundamentalist conservatives who came up with this brilliant idea but as with any ideologue this isn't a fact that matters cause its heretical to your orthodoxy.

The FACTS, regardless of whether you are liberal, conservative, anarcho-libertarian, communist, Toltec or Mongolian horse herder is that for profit prisons are immoral and unethical. They are unethical because they cannot administer justice impartially as they have an incentive to grow the prison industrial complex and lobby for more incarceration laws with more and longer sentencing to sustain the growth of their profits. This an obvious conflict of interest to the impartial and fair administration of justice.

For profit prisons are immoral simply because the incentive for profit creates increased incentive to put more people in prison.

So see you can base a fact based judgments on the ethics and morality of this issue without resorting to mindless ideology or illogical ad Homs.

Indeed. Yet incentivizing immorality in other aspects of lives is ignored by some people without regard to the cost to society. I even gave an example. Again it is the results that one should look at rather than the emotion. While we get off track here, the reality is often underlined by one group constantly talking about what we have created an incentive for, and the other group ignoring it.

In this case that specific person I was talking to tried to take that tack here, and I spoke to the audience I was having the conversation with. I understood that some liberals would get all "but that isn't true!" and ignore the instances where it was. I was simply telling the person I replied to why he doesn't get to pretend that "his version" was better, because the result is the same. Shoot his version was even worse because in his world he gets to use the prisoners labor for his own specific profit doubling the instances of incentive to continue holding prisoners past their normal point of release.

Those types won't be productive until they choose to be productive. Wasting money on trying to do for them what they've shown by their actions they don't want to do is not getting the job done.

The way they need to be imprisoned would cost very little. Bread and water is cheap.

Pointless, Mott. You're talking to a guy who feels is perfectly justifiable to shoot the neighbor's dog for crapping on his lawn.

That's the point I've been trying to make with SmarterThanYou. He considers things like DUI checkpoints as unconstitutional and something that violates the 4th amendment. He fails to acknowledge what you say that while someone doing what he/she wants with his/her body is their place, doing what they want should not put someone else's life at risk.

What's pointless is expecting a coward like you to do what you said about coming where I am. It's to a point know that I know you're too much of a coward to show up. However, like I said, you can be there when I slop it to your wife. Funny how you're gone when I'm there.

He does have a point, treating everybody like there is reason to believe that they are drunk is not "reasonable" search. While DUI laws are reasonable, constitutional, and even make sense; simply saying that instead of actually looking for reasons we'll just make everybody show their papers and subject themselves to search is not constitutional, reasonable and doesn't make much sense.

And a fine point you made too but maybe you should have stuck to the facts, and practiced what you preach, instead of emoting an ad hom logical fallacy and emoting your ideological bias. It would stand to reason that others would be less harshly critical of your emoting.

Whether you feel that DUI checkpoints make sense or not, they have been deemed Constitutional.

What do you suggest about how to deal with stopping drunk driving? STY said that life is a risk implying that being subjected to drunk drivers on the road was part of life's risk.
