Um... no mate... Darwinism is what got us here in the first place...
I disagree.... My personal veiw is that we are not letting Dawinism work anymore.... too many stupid people out there getting babied and spoon fed everything. it feels like we as a society have gone too soft and too far to the left... I have no intention of wanting a police state, but I do think the pendulim needs to swing back to the center at least...
and yes. Ixium, obviously all crimes are negative....
but it costs more as i understand it to isolate inmates then it does to just throw em in general population.
hence why should my tax dollars go towards fixing these lost causes when it could be going to much better expenses in society, ie public health care, education, community safety etc....
i have no problem paying for us to have places to put people away. but it should never be a place that someone wants to go... it should be a kind of place where even hardened criminals should fear going.... no more of this minimum security country club garbage.
but, im getting out of my lanes here... im sure Mr Monkhouse could enlighten us with the reality of the ontario correctional system... and probabbly give us an idea as to how the federal one works too.
either way, i say when you violate the laws of the land. and have been found guilty beyond reasonable doubt in a fair trial. you forfeit most of the rights afforded to you by civil society.
the thing with Gang members, is although they do commit crime everywhere, they tend to take care of each other... bloods and crips etc will just kill eachother off... the problem with letting them do this, is that innocents will get caught in the crossfire.
Like Jane Creba the 15 year old shot dead on boxing day outside the eatons center...
We make crime tougher and clamp down on these slimebags then there will be less willingness to commit the crime.
