The World We Live In

Congress people can propose bans they have no personal clue about other than what they are told. "Puppets"

In this country, it costs more money to house each inmate in a small cell, than the median income of each person who works to support himself.

That we are allowed to treat our animals better than we can our family members when it comes to death and suffering...

Felons don't have the right to vote everywhere... But regardless they SHOULD have the right to vote. Did this in debate and am willing to discuss :D

I will have to pass on your discussion, My family is a strong believer that people in prison, who have broken the law, threw away their rights when they broke the law, and don't get me started on capitol punishment

so lets just agree to disagree :P

I say we have a face-off...

Till Barsh in the red corner!

Excellent discussions are only fun if the two viewpoints are the extreme opposites. So by saying they threw their rights away you mean that they broke the social contract and therefore should not be members of a society anymore? But then why would you release them back into society? Also if you see that there is no chance of reform why bother with prison sentences? Why not kill anyone who harms the society through stealing, killing etc...?

Its on brotha :D

that according to the FBI's best estimates, 1 in 4 people convicted of rape in the US are innocent

O boy,

You are thinking ahead of me, I am not saying that if they go to prison they should not be released, I am saying that during their term in prison, they should not have a say in the community/government etc. Stealing is the least of the problems when it comes to people in prison. Killing on the other hand, in the first degree, SHOULD be a death sentence, why waste the tax payers money to give convicted murderers a better life than some of the people who have broken the law and killed someone.

Also, I did not say that there is no chance of reform, people who steal I am all for them getting out for a second chance in society, in which they WILL have their rights to vote along with other things.

Thats all I am going to say on this topic, as much as I hate to see DutchHerp
without the entertainment of us "debating". haha

The World We Live In...People have debates about prisoners rights on a reptile forum :P

Right now..this very second...I am without a mt dew in my hand...this is very sad.
