The United States has more people in jail?2.3 million?than any other nation. Although the United States has less than 5% of the world's population, it holds almost a quarter of the world's prisoners. One of every 100 adults in the "land of the free" is locked up.

Land of the free, my ass!

Yeah we bad

[sirs]

Apparently Tee not only advocates mass killing of U.S. military folk, but apparently supports all forms of criminals walking the streets.  Man, what a scary world that would be to live in

[Michael Tee]

Oh no, how can you be bad?  You're the Land of the Free.

[BT]

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

The decision to commit the crime is what freedom is all about.

<<Apparently Tee not only advocates mass killing of U.S. military folk, but allsupports all forms of criminals walking the streets.  Man, what a scary world that would be to live in>>

The "military folk" are invaders, rapists and murderers without a shred of legality to back up their criminal invasion and the "criminals" are mostly drug users and illegal immigrants, scary to no one but you.

Numbers don't lie.  If the U.S.A. is the land of the free, China must be the Workers' and Peasants' Paradise.

[sirs]

In other words, apparently Tee not only advocates mass killing of U.S. military folk, but supports all forms of criminals walking the streets.  Again, pretty scary place that'd be

<<The decision to commit the crime is what freedom is all about.>>

ROTFLMFAO.  So now the world's highest incarceration rate is PROOF of your "freedom."  A more literal adoption of Orwell's 1984 I could never hope to find.  War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Incarceration is Freedom.  Bravo, BT!!!

ooooh, yeah, scary!  Only to a nation of frightened cowards.  Frightened of non-violent drug users - - lock 'em all up.  Frightened of non-violent illegal immigrants - - lock 'em all up.  Ooooh, how scary if they weren't locked up.  Scary to the likes of sirs, anyway.

Are you saying that free actions should not have consequences?

Should you be able to shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die?

I think the point that should be taken is that we, as a populace have a giant stick up our collective ass about a lot of stuff that doesn't mean shit anything and we don't take care of each other the way other less crime-ridden nations do.

You reap what you guys sow.

Remind me again how all the democrat controlled legislatures in all the democrat controlled states wiped all the drug laws off the books.

You guys. sheeesh

The only party that consistently argues against drug laws are the libertarians and they hold their convention at the holiday inn.

You mean, when you break the law, you go to jail.  Yea, works for me

No, the scary place would be criminals with free roam of the land, pulling whatever crime they want, when they want, with no consequences or repercussions, unless coming from another criminal.  Yea, laws, responsibility, and and legal conduct are so..... overrated

Oh, here's a thought....get some Lanya-like american folks to write their legislators, and demand that they stop creating more and more laws

Well, here's another thought - - suppose the violent criminals were left in the jails and "criminals' committing victimless crimes are let out.  Then you'd have the "safety' you pretended to be so concerned about (a phony issue, since no one ever proposed emptying the jails) AND you'd have incarceration rates more in line with countries enjoying REAL freedoms, not the fake product you try to sell to the gullible suckers, mostly your own benighted citizens, who STILL believe against all evidence that America is "the Land of the Free."
