Yup, exactly, LOL. Screw 'em. If ya gonna do the crime, ya gotta do the time. If ya can't do the time, don't do the crime. Man, we both made good points, and didn't have to break out a dictionary! I love the ease of common english, isn't that great that we don't have to use words like "flippant' and "transgress" to make ourselves seem intelligent.

and u think 25 yrs to life...is a fair punishment for stealing golf clubs? Because, like was already said...u CANNOT be tried twice for tha same crime...yet, tha three strikes law allows u to be punished twice for them. Whatever happened to taking into account the severity of a crime? When murderers are released before a man who steals golf clubs and video tapes. And like i said before...why is it that the man who steals 200 dollars...3 times...will get more time then the man who embezzles 1 million from a company, once. Whos more of a threat? We had a city official in San Diego who was using tax money for his own benifet. TAX money, OUR money. And u know what his punishment was? He had to teach golf to kids on the weekends, for community service. Now WTF is that? Why isnt he locked up for 25 yrs? Cus he didnt get caught 3 times doing it? u know HOW much money would be involved, for him to get caught THREE times? ridiculous fukin law. Yur right about the fact, that crime is wrong one way or another. and if u cant do the time...u shouldnt do the crime. But, its WAY more complex then that...when u get down to the fact that laws and punishments are AIMED at a certain group. And obviously set up by politicians who would LUV to protect the rich (reasons are obvious for that).

It's just hard for me to feel bad about either one of them, ya know? I mean, the guy who embezzeled all the money should be punished too, but some guy who's made a life of committing crimes, he can rot in jail for all I care. Like I said before, though, you shouldn't be tried twice, and your past history shouldn't affect your sentence, but I'd like to see tougher sentences, PER CRIME, all around. For example, the guy who stole the golf clubs should get the same sentence a guy who had murdered two people, THEN stole golf clubs gets. I think 25 years is a little stiff, though, for a simple theft, lol. Maybe 1-2 years. Depends on the circumstances too. Very complicated thing, but again, and I know yall get tired of hearing me say this, but this isn't really much of my concern, because it doesn't affect me. I don't steal, so I won't ever have a problem with how the criminal system punishes thieves, ya know?

Yo Trauma, when someone cusses you don't like it, and then when someone uses words like "flippant" and "transgress" you get frustrated with them, that leaves little margin for error. It's too bad everyone can't be exactly like you.
Trauma-san:
^^ Yeah, that would be kinda cool if everybody was just like me. Except the women, that would be strange. Why don't you keep out of it anyways, infinite, I was talking to 'political idiot'. I was just making a remark that he's trying to impress everyone with big words, when all he's doing is just trying to be better than everyone else. All his arguments make no sense, he's just talking to be talking.
