criminal rights

[AkiraMakie]

Can't say much now, tired, about to get to bed.

I didn't say most people in jail had a drug habit. I said many of them do. My main point was that poverty isn't the cause of crime. Crime is the cause of poverty and unemployment. Not the only cause, of course, but a large one...

We could probably debate that point all day. you think crime cause proverty and unemployment, and i think unemployement and proverty cause crime. We will never agree on that.

And yes, I have lived some pretty damn bad places, where poverty and crime are all over the place.

really? where? :rolleyes2

I don't know why you would like debating with me, because I have to re-explain most everything I say because you don't understand it at first.

Dont insult my intelligence. its not that i dont understand you. its that i dont agree with you. theres a difference.

Yes, drug addicts need treatment as well as jail time.

So how would you feel if they tossed your mother into jail only because she had a drug problem. would you want her rotting in a cell or would you want her getting help. i dont believe you really be so quick to make all these assumptions if you had to deal with these problems.

(Edit: Whether or not you agree with drugs being illegal, if somebody commits a drug-related crime, whether it be buying, selling, possessing, etc., he has still committed a crime and should be punished accordingly.)

ok, true enough. But thats the problem with out laws. but ok, your right on that one.
