Okay you got me!
People don't avoid committing crimes because they're afraid of going to prison. I was so wrong. Thank you for enlightening me.
We should never punish criminals. We should only 'rehabilitate' them in the most comfortable manner possible. Everyone can be 'rehabilitated' and nobody I mean nobody is going to take advantage of lax punishments to commit more crimes!
You're so wise and definitely not being taken advantage of.
What about robbery? Lol.
Lol. I guess you never heard about 'life in prison'. Let me explain: it's a special form of punishment for people judged 'unrehabilitatable'. In Europe. if it's decided that someone is a psychopath he's locked up in prison forever. That way he cannot commit more crimes! Problem solved! And we don't have to torture them to feel better. Such genius!
LoL. Just wait till you learn about other forms of punishment we have like fines or social work. We can punish people without locking them up! How amazing is that? And also we do have prisons, that's where the reeducation happens. Weird you didn't realize that.
L.O.L Just because people are reeducated in prisons doesn't mean the punishments are lax. The fact that you consider any punishment that is not torture 'lax' just further proves all my points.
Seriously, you sound like a child that knows 10% of justice system and thinks he understands all of it. Or rather like typical American.
