Except for Alfie Hines.
That's just shit. It's not as if it was something that you could control either.
Talking of bullying and non attending - I was getting bullied really badly in Year 7 and stayed off school because I was fed up of going into school and being bullied every single day. I got shit because of this, but the school REFUSED to do anything about it... :rolleyes:
Decrepid prisons are getting closed and replaced. What's wrong with that?
prison is shit. It should be there for criminals, not someone who didn't go to school.
I had a fistfight with mine. Which I lost badly.
later my dad asked them why they didn't come out...their reply was ''we were having bets on who was going to win''
This = closest thing to an absolute truth you will find on this planet.
So if we only locked up all criminals for ever there would be no problems?
So if we kill all prisoners there would be no problems?
People cause crime. No people = no crime.
1. If the death penalty "works", why is the US' murder and rape rate so high?
2. If you execute people for rape or other sexual abuse, then they might as well get their money's worth and kill the woman too. No woman = no victim to cry rape.
Of course, I wasnt taking your position entirely seriously, but I'm trying to get to the nub of the point.
You suggest we should lock up prisoners for longer, and I and others have pointed out this doesnt work. There is no correlation between prison terms and crime rate.
See Greenland for example, they dont actualy have a single prison, but a low crime rate. America high murder rate and massive prison population.
It uses social pressure and social punishments.
But, having said that for the very nasty crimes (v.v.v.rare) they send the person to Denmark.
The kind of nonsense that gives them a low crime rate?
No, you're right, they just beat them with a stick and then hang them.
It means they go infront of a panel of people from the area and have to face the people they have wronged.
It means they pay back the debt to the victims.
You know, all the kind of things that the Mail hates but actually work.
And seeing how upset you were over the incident, how personal the crime actually is rather than just another house, that's not going to have an impact on him?
I cant help getting the impression that you would rather the criminal classes where treated like during the Middle Ages.
So what should we do? Beat them?
The death penalty can prove ridiculously expensive. Legal appeals aren't free.
