  • I’m sorry, but at 15 you’re old enough to know that stabbing a stranger to death is wrong.

    Yes? What do you think they’re implying, that we should try to rehabilitate criminals… but only if they’re still young?

    I think (and forgive me if I’m wrong) they’re essentially saying that without a rehabilitory justice system, we’re just locking people up for life and creating a net drain on society. Financially, culturally… it’s a morale drain on our nation, even.

    Not to mention that as a society we’re abandoning a person who, through a justice system built on rehabilitation and not some ye oldie Catholic concept of creating a punishing Hell on Earth, could actually flourish one day, adding to our society instead of taking from it.

    A prison system designed to simply incarcerate, punish and torture those it touches will never offer anywhere near the same benefits to us as one that is designed to attempt to rehabilitate.

    Not everybody can be rehabilitated, of course, but that’s like saying we shouldn’t try to treat cancer, because not everybody can be cured.







  • 6?! They’re up to SIX? I feel like the second one only just came out the other year…

    Which one was it where the USA gets invaded and the ISS gets blown up? That’s the last one I played, the concept and set pieces were very cool but the whole thing just felt too much of a repeat of the previous games, so I moved on to fresher stuff after that.

    What is it with people trying to make the entirety of October into Halloween?

    It’s one single night, it’s not a season. Is this the Americans trying to push it on us to increase our capitalist consumption or something? I see it a LOT these past few years.

    What’s next, turning Easter into a month long extravaganza?
