You are the one saying that we have too many people in jail. I am saying, if you have the ability to understand, that other countries might not have the incarceration rate per capita because they eliminate the problem people and therefore have lower per capita incarceration rate.
Furthermore, how do you know what I believe? What gives you the right to use such a typical liberal segway to get a facetious point across?
As I said, if you don't like the incarceration rate in this country, then you come up with a solution rather than just squawking about it.
First we have to agree that a problem exists, and then we can consider solutions.

And the “other countries” you pick out are two of the worst human rights abusers on the planet. So that is the baseline you’re setting. You’re not setting Canada or the UK or Australia as the baseline.
Don’t you feel that those countries would be more appropriate comparisons, given the cultural similarity?
