Quote from pupu:

Keeping people in jail is very expensive and it come out of taxpayers pockets.

The state will probably spend much much more keeping her locked up than the debt is worth.

You sure you want to to pay for this?

Personally I believe in mass executions but you need to owe more than a couple of grand to qualify....:-)

it costs the taxpayers more to execute a prisoner on death row than it does to imprison them for life (even if they are young.)

I live in Indiana, Incarceration is the number one industry in Terra Haute.

It seems only fair to me that people with jobs should pay taxes to imprison people who are unemployed.

You got a better idea? What? Just let them get off Scott Free?

Everytime you put a debtor in prison, that's just one more citizen you won't make a bad loan to.

Quote from Scataphagos:

All part of "that's life". There is no "try".. only "do" or "do not".

No worries, though. Once a country turns down the Socialist path, there is no going back.



exactly.
socialism is an addictive and seducing drug that appeals to the masses.

Quote from bigarrow:

What oldtime is talking about is survival of the fittest. And if he is the best at taking what he wants then he is the top darwinist.



However you can steal more money with a pen than a gun, so Scat may still be the top Darwinist if all Oldtime wants is food.

It may turn out that Jon Corzine eclipses them both as the άber Darwinist!
