News flash, slick: Disagreeing with your kill-em-all-let-God-sort-em-out approach to criminology does not make someone a welfare queen or an Oprah devotee, much less a friend of Katie Couric. It says something about your level of arogance that you think only some half-brained kum-bai-yah milksop could possibly disagree with SimpleMinded The Great and Terrible. Plus, you're diverting attention from the fact that I called you on one of the prejudices you substitute for data. No need to play games, just walk it off, princess.
People don't just accidentally commit felonies.
My kid didn't accidentally [fill in childish offense here.] That doesn't mean it's productive to spank him with an ax. Nonviolent crimes should not involve years of hard time, period. We need to reform the system so they pay a heavy price without going to jail. It will be cheaper, more effective and their kids don't get screwed.
But stow the garbage about how abusive our system is. There's nothing rock solid about committing a felony, certainly nothing rock solid about committing a series of felonies.
You basically revel in the idea of government making sure innocent minors pay for someone else's mistake, and then call it being an "adult" and "protecting society." Surely we should create a Nobel Prize for humanitarianism just for your supra-genius thinking in this field.
By the way, where's the answer to my pot/stop sign question?
You're "answering" my points with crap about Oprah because I'm kicking your butt. You don't have to admit it, just stay on the mat this time, princess.
