You are forgetting to count all the prisoners in China, first of all, and the folks in slavery in Bolivia, Saudi Arabia, Eritrea, and other intriguing spots around the world.

The only reason you think the US has 25% of the prisoners is that the USA is the ONLY country that counts all its prisoners and publicizes the number.

So, you think for a few moments about what it means to live in a country that does not actually count its prisoners, and does not report how many there are.

Then go live there.

ROFL!
Those aren't my figures. Those figures are conservative and are not refuted by our own government. Apparently you didn't read the link I responded to.
You want to talk about China? China has executed over two million drug addicts since 1949. They are still executing them today. They still have the highest addiction rate on the planet. Heroin addiction is Chinas number one problem today.
Can you show one single country where a drug war has decreased drug use or violent crime? Even the US government has been unable to do that!
Please, post your data. I'd sure like to see it and I'm sure many others would too.
