If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
Is Party HQ going to hand out any fresh slogans soon?
You socialists are tiresome.
Even if you've lost all hope,
Don't pick up the soap.
Oh, please. WHERE does it say this gay man did something worthy of capital punishment? The poor guy will get AIDS, from this barbaric treatment.
There has been a story on the news in the past day or so about a young, white student who committed the unpardonable crime of streaking his graduation. Some judge sentenced him to 2 years in jail.
This young man (somebody's child, just like the gay man in the story), is going to be prey, not a prisoner. And don't you DARE say that asinine horse pucky about don't do the crime.
The streaker should be sentenced to doing 2 years of unpleasant community service, and not be thrown to the wolves. Who did this boy hurt? Nobody!
Good morning.
The prisons are full with people who are not predators. Drug crimes account for the majority with a significant number being 'victim-less' crimes.
Once in the system, usually at county jail level, people are marked for life.
mtbopufyn, if you leave your house you probably break some law at some point. We should all hope you don't cross the path of an over enthusiastic young cop or a jaded old one who then turns you over to a prosecutor of the same sort.
"If you can't do the time don't do the crime' is simplistic at best.

Nevermind the fact this sexual slavery probably makes people worse, not better, and that they'll get out of prison eventually unless they are killed there.
This "sexual slavery" is not appropriate under any circumstance.
States, violate the 8th Amendment when they knowingly ignore this type of abuse. As Conservatives, we must not selectively choose which Constitutional protections we will require our governments to enforce. The Constitution is not negotiable, because it protects our GOD GIVEN rights.
Stay with me on this. To play loose with the Constitution presumes that the CONSTITUTION is the instrument that gives us rights; it presumes that MAN gives us rights through the Constitution and can thus enforce them whenever MAN feels like it.
So a big difference between liberals and conservatives, is that liberals believe man (through Big Government) gives and takes away rights. They feel that Big Government is the big provider; not ourselves and certainly not God. So liberals "construe" the Constitution any which way they see fit, and they do it in a way that empowers their vision of big government.
Conservatives know that Liberals are wrong: GOD gives us rights, and the Constitution merely guards what God has given us. Not big government. GoD. And We The People are ultimately responsible for protecting those rights. Government merely works for us, it is not our god, and as Conservatives, we must not try to become gods about which rights are worthy of protection. Leave that to the Liberals.
It's important for us to internalize this and to stay consistent; otherwise we empower the liberal cult.
