Maybe the same Americans that love the presidents that pardoned the Gestapo murderers and imported Nazis to live and work in America or the presidents that support dictators in South America, the Middle East and Asia in the past and even today. That is what America stands for.Oh yeah, I loved it when Teagan praised the Guatemalan dictator accused of massed murder as getting “a bad rap.” Later the man was convicted of genocide. Who could not love a president so in touch with what America stands for?
I did.Nice deflection. Care to answer the question posed?
Trump's the king of bad situations he gets himself into.I have little sympathy for people who go themselves into bad situations over and over
They support a cult.not all Trump supporters are cult members
but there are way too many cult members
It is true that internationally, the US often mirrored the imperialist crimes of the Soviet Union. That is one face of my country, but not its only face. Many people are still inspired by “the better angels of our nature.”Maybe the same Americans that love the presidents that pardoned the Gestapo murderers and imported Nazis to live and work in America or the presidents that support dictators in South America, the Middle East and Asia in the past and even today.

A few months ago I read a post by someone here bitching that his barracks had no AC. I could not believe it but he was damned serious.24 pages of babble over the suffering prisoners who get three meals a day, regular exercise, time outside with their intimate friends, and minimal risk of being shot and killed defending their country.
Since they were too stupid to be successful criminals, they should consider themselves to be lucky they're alive being fed and housed at no expense to themselves.

I think having to watch Dr.Phil, The five, and Rachel Maddow every day would be sheer torture for anyone.
Nothing but hateful reich-wing bullshit.24 pages of babble over the suffering prisoners who get three meals a day, regular exercise, time outside with their intimate friends, and minimal risk of being shot and killed defending their country.

Are you suggesting that if we put fewer people into prisons we would have fewer people with mental problems?So, they should consider themselves lucky they haven't been dumped on a desert island to die?
This is why so many people come out of prison with mental problems and a total inability to get a job so are almost forced back into crime.
How does that help wider society?
I was in the Philippines for 18 months in a barracks with no AC. You learn to deal with the heat and humidity.A few months ago I read a post by someone here bitching that his barracks had no AC. I could not believe it but he was damned serious.

What a great idea. Don't put people in prison so that they don't go crazy and they are more employable. People will be more balanced and the economy will grow.
Carter borrowed his wife's clothesReagan restored military aid to countries who had that aid cut off by Carter due to massive human rights violations.
You're comparing America's social structure to Scandinavia? Is that all of Scandinavia or some of it? Those countries are homogeneous in their social makeup or do you simply believe you can make a one-to-one comparison of our multi-cultural melting pot to a rather unvaried social milieu?While I do think the US imprisons more people than needed (this is shown by the US having the highest prison population by far) my suggestion was to treat those in prison with respect and not like animals.
Scandiniavia does that and the rate of recidivism is tiny compared to the US so it does work.
The main problem is many Americans seem completely unable to look at examples from the rest of the world and just shut down debate because they claim the USA way is the best way without even any debate.
In Texas, most people awaiting a hearing or a trial are held in the county jails, which I think are air conditioned.What world do you live in? I was held in crowded conditions for five days in jail before trial. Charges dropped. So are thousands of others.
Again, are any of the inmates being held prior to trial, meaning they are still innocent in the eyes of the law?
I wonder if the older prisons do a better job, because they were designed before AC existed, and likely took advantageCounty jails in Texas must be kept between 65 and 85 degrees, but state prisons don’t have to be air conditioned.
How do you expect to have freedom *of* religion without also having freedom *from* religion as well?Funny, they seems to protect freedom OF religion as one of the first orders of business.
You are one of those people who thinks freedom OF religion is freedom FROM religion.
It's not and it never was.
The separation of CHURCH and State is not the separation of God and State, and it never was.
You can ignore that which you don't believe and live in your own reality if you like, but here in the real world all law is based on wrongs done others, and our sense of right and wrong is our morality.

You tell me how anyone can make a comparison between our country of 330 millions to any one country of under ten million?
Prisoners don't need AC in their cells.What does that have to do with how you treat prisoners?
Prisoners don't need AC in their cells.
Give them water and electric fans.
That's better than what existed in prisons one hundred years ago.
They're being punished for their crimes.
They don't need to be coddled like migrants being put in expensive hotels that are air-conditioned.
23 web pages of needless prattle because prisoners have to deal with the heat just like everyone else. Fall is coming soon. Everything will get cooler.
The way many prisons in the US seem to be in competition to treat prisoners as harshly as possible (because the role of prison govournor is elected) shows the disdain people like you have for those in prison.
You somehow think giving them AC in 100 degree heat is coddling them.
Yes, the US should look how other countries deal with those in prison, you may learn something and the rate of recidivism may come down or you could just continue to treat people like utter shit and the cycle of re-incarceration in for profit prisons will continue forever.
It's your choice.
