What should we be doing instead of sending people to prison until we have the society you envision?

You’re the one arguing we shouldn’t imprison people for life.

Wrong. I'm arguing that by your "logic," the reasons you give against the death penalty are also applicable to life in prison. Therefore, you shouldn't be saying one is okay but not the other, which is what you were doing.

I was saying it’s better than the death penalty, not that it’s okay.

Good, I'm glad you can at least be direct about it now. What should we be doing instead?

Uhh, what? I guess I need to be very specific with you, lol.

You were saying that you don't want to defend life in prison or locking people up. I countered by saying "yeah, it would be great if we lived in a world where that wasn't necessary, but that's not the world we live in."

Since you're the one so pre-occupied in living in a fantasy world where you think prison isn't necessary, I said "You should focus on reality instead of your fantasies more often."

This exact same glib argument can be used against your own complaints about life imprisonment

Ironic how you're saying this after you're the one who said "compensation for families makes dying in prison ok." How come you completely ignored my point about giving compensation to families of people who get the death penalty?

Is it just me, or do new office features seem kinda pointless or unnecessary?

I use libreoffice the same way I used microsoft office decades ago. Never really cared for 'advanced' or even 'intermediate' features because they are never necessary to what I'm doing.

I can't imagine that people who are more computer-illiterate than me getting significantly more involved in what should be simple and easy to use programs.

This comment was censored for saying:

"It was an abusive relationship with the democrats, too. Not sure why you people like being abused so much, but it really puts into perspective why I do not take the average person seriously these days. They're just too stupid/proud of their stupidity."

Lol.

Do families get compensated after their relatives die in prison? That's a new one to me.

I guess the families could be compensated if their relatives get the death penalty? Then that would make it "ok" by your "logic."

I’ll be honest, I believe in prison abolition. I don’t really want to defend the concept of life in prison. We don’t need to lock people up.

Yeah, it'd be nice if people didn't commit crimes. Unfortunately that's not the world we live in.

You should focus on reality instead of your fantasies more often.

How do you give them compensation after they've died in prison?

[–] lumony@lemmings.world -2 points 2 days ago (10 children)

It can't be reversed after they're dead.

You also can't give them back the time that they lost.

Everyone who voted for hillary clinton in the 2016 primary over Bernie Sanders should be blamed for why we have 2 trump presidencies.

Democrats have shown they'd rather have trump than a candidate who actually fights for the working class.

You did great work and should feel proud of it.

It's a shame that they're specifically targeting those who want to do good, just to enrich those who want to do bad.

The useful idiots have unfortunately won, on both sides.
