Title: Is the USA this bad?
Post by: outby43 on February 10, 2012, 05:52:23 PM
7,225,800 adults were under correctional supervision (probation, parole, jail, or prison) in 2009.

Seems like the Corrections Dept. is BIG business.

Scariest thing that is currently going on in America: Private prison industry. It has a pretty powerful lobby and they're building alot of them under the guise that it brings jobs to shit towns. How in the fuck this ever got this far says alot about the power of lobbyists. They will do everything in their power to ensure them prisons stay full. As an American citizen I dont remember being given a choise on this issue, and whole entire page of other issues. For drug possession offenses and I mean addicts, REHAB! Not incarceration. If you incarcerate me I am now a felon. When I get out I wont even be able to flip burgers. So while I'm in, I'm going to learn to be the best godamn criminal you've ever seen. I sure as hell ain't working for $8.00 an hour at whatever shit job I can get. My .02.

Anyone unhappy in the USA is free to leave.

Those who despise the USA from afar are free to stay in whatever land of milk and honey they live in.

Hilarious retort.  

When an American tells someone else he should stay in his home country, he is branded as a racist or xenophobe.

Drop the winking emoticon.  It's an extremely gay manifestation of your passive/agressive beta tendencies.

I would like to say that I served with French soldiers in Afghanistan and they risked their lives every day, just like the rest of us.

So, a big thank you and I hope  you don't take too seriously what some stupid Americans say.

French officers do have some pretty crazy hats, though.

That's because the US is the entertainment capital of the World...we could go downhill, but damn nearly everybody likes our movies, particularly porn...we can make things go "boom!" better than anybody else...and even our enemies and the ones we criticize know it...
Also, we are not above criticism, and we welcome it, Americans are about the frankest people you'll talk to.

  Well, between broken families, abortion rates, high incarceration rates, segregated neighborhoods, black on black violence, etc........seems the Democrats are doing a great job on doing it.

Yes it is a small percentage but it doesn't break down the population of major cities vs. rural areas because as a whole rural areas do not sustain the prison population.  Take them out of the equation and that percentage goes way up  My thing is that only violent people should be in prison or jail and I believe that there would be less than 1 million in institutions if that was the case.  US is not that dangerous so I was shocked these numbers...and this is from 2009.
