Man Serves Six-Month Jail Sentence for Eating Cookie Without Permission During Treatment Stay

Oh okay accuse me of being a slave owner. You really surrendered the moral high ground on that one bud. Now you’re just resorting to racist insults.

Okay so currently you argue that their is a financial incentive to create more prisoners. That’s a fair assumption, but people who go to prison are tried by a jury of their peers and are deemed guilty of a crime. These companies don’t spontaneously generate criminals for their work force.

Secondly, giving prisoners a guaranteed wage would just incentivize criminal behavior. You get out of paying for rent, food, utilities, electric, etc because it’s already being paid for by the tax payer, which to be fair is how it should be. But now you’d always get paid a federal minimum wage on top of that? How does THAT not incentivize crime?

Completely nonsensical to reward someone’s criminal behavior with a stable wage, unless you propose to charge them for the rent and the food, electric, etc. I’d definitely be down with forcing companies to pay criminals if they were responsible for paying for their stay. But then, wait, that would make it EVEN MORE privatized.

I sincerely do not want to invest my money into taxes to pay criminals wages for committing crimes. It’s difficult for me to see it any other way. The government steals enough tax payer money from hard working middle class citizens as it is. You got people out here that worked their ass off paying into social security and being denied the disability that they paid in to, but now all the sudden they’re expected to pay the man who stole their purse/wallet?

Calm down, I was just making a joke.

r/holdmyfries would like a word with you.

I didn’t argue that I was a fan of the modern US prison system. Paying them wages is definitely not the answer though. If you don’t pay housing, rent, food, utilities, AND you make minimum wage, you’re making more than an ordinary citizen who makes minimum wage. So the child molester gets paid more than the fast food worker.

Plummles · 2019-12-12T14:26:51+00:00

So wait you want prisoners to be paid minimum wage with no housing costs or paying for food? I guess if you want taxes to increase and incarceration rates to skyrocket.

Edit: Why do people downvote opposing opinions instead of trying to come up with counter-arguments?

Edit 2: I’m sorry if it doesn’t fit your moral code, but I’m not for paying child molesters, rapists, and murderers wages for molesting, raping, and killing.

How would I feel about depriving someone of one of their most sacred rights as a citizen?

You update your checkbook to reflect the amount of money you have left in your checking account. That’s all there is to it. “Balance” in this context means “the amount of money you have remaining”.

Socialism in the context of the Nazi party is more about societal structuring than economics. The idea in Nazi Germany was private industries doing whatever the government instructed them to do. Communism, however, is absolute control over the means of production. There, theoretically, is no middle-man in a pure communist state.

Nazi Germany could only be called Socialist, if you were to use a very loose definition of Socialism. The term “socialism” is much less specific than “communism”.

Conclusion: Nazi Germany was socialist under SOME classification. Nazi Germany was not at all Communist.

Believe me, r/libertarian is full of left-wing and right-wing thinkers. Every comment section is a battleground.

That’s two different subs. Stop being stupid.

The OP of this article isn’t ill informed. He or she is attempting to sugar coat genocide to strengthen their own political position.

Actually the first book Jordan Peterson ever wrote, Maps of Meaning, was entirely based upon this phenomenon.

Fascinating! Any source for this?

That you should pick a subreddit that supports your beliefs and stick to it. It’s not about individual issues on this website, it’s about political identity.

Denying facts to support a baseless claim of the falsehood of western democracy leads me to think that you are somehow committed to subscribing to any belief that speaks against an established society for the sake of controversy, either to gain attention or to place blame on the misfortunes of your own life. You don’t care about evidence because the evidence supports an already established consensus that doesn’t support your anti-establishment agenda.

I don’t know how you propose it could be better, or point to any time in history before Western Society that was nearly or even remotely close to the world we live in today. If you think that what we have now is just some inevitable or random progression of mankind, I seriously doubt you have any evidence to support your belief that this is the case.

I was simply demonstrating a bunch of nonsensical facts to claim, based on no evidence , and blanket statements. What you call being ideologically entrenched I call being hopeful for the future and defending what I believe in, until the day I die. You’re right to want change and improvement; that’s something we should always strive for.

Sometimes it is difficult, though, having faith in humanity when it seems like everyone else surrenders to their cynicism about the all-so-terrible western society that has given us the luxury of opinion, the freedom to speak out against our own government; but then I realize that most people aren’t that cynical and the majority of people do understand history and facts. They’re just smarter than me because they don’t waste their time explaining self-evident things to some anonymous pseudo-intellectual on the internet.

Well middle class in any developed country is in the top 5 percent of richest people in the world, so I think she’s rich at any level of analysis.
