Thread: Wtf

"The implication is that by being tougher, we would deter more offenders... that is not reality."..........err Sid, we KNOW that.....the crims KNOW that....we just want the 'shite' locked up and out of our houses, cars, pockets, lives ect, ect, ect........

How many times do i have to say the same thing!!!!...the softly, softly kid gloves approach has/is not worked/working....the 'vast majority' of people who are currently in the prison system are not the 'Dummers' who made one ill judge mistake.....

NO...there in there because they have embraced that counter culture lifestyle of not 'working for the man'.....the staunch "ill make my living off the herd".......WELL FUK THEM.....if you cant live with us, we will lock you away from us......

as we are not allowed to castrate them to stop them making more crims, we as a society will just have to carry the burden.....

Sidney, lets hear your views on how we will make NZ into a crime free utopia......one that doesn't involve the government taxing me into the ground?.....there will ALWAYS be crime, so we have to do SOMETHING, the shite that do crime (for a living)
have no conscience, empathy, ect for their victims, thats why 'letting them out early' is not working.....tell me one, just one, thing you would change in the present system that would rehabilitate prisoners, because its not working at the moment, Dougie
and Kotuku are both 'nostril deep' in it at the coal face, i get the feeling you have all the theory but non of the practise?.....prove me wrong

I used to put people into prison for a living Mr Scouser, I am well aware of re-offending, social issues around offending and intergenerational criminality, as well as having some legal training, and a whole lot of other life experience that I am not sure that you have...

Now how long is yours?

Your response seems rather irrational, given that my position is that we cannot simply rely on what you are proposing. It doesn't actually reduce crime as the good ole USA shows us.

The interesting thing to me is Dougie and Kotuku don't seem to have a problem with my position, but you do? Given that we all have some experience in these areas and you don't?

In so far as taxing us into the ground, that will happen if we have to continue building prisons... if you are interested in not being taxed into the ground you may have to consider the other options.

Not much is a short term solution, but that is all you got..... and somehow you resent the idea of thinking more widely that that?
