I don't think they should get paid for anything while incarcerated, but I do believe that once they pay their debt to society, all of their rights should be reinstated.
They still are able to cast a vote and participate in the democracy. In a democracy, majority rules.....having a counted vote is all that representation can be fundamentally.
First of all if rights are inalienable, government can't provide them, they can only violate them, suspend them or ignore them. They fail the first test of recognizing the rights of all individuals and they fail their purported purpose of "protecting rights" on a routine basis. The reason why is simple, they are the judges of the limits of their own power. The separation of powers is myth, much like the Easter Bunny.
But the US is not a democracy.
Ok, but in reality this is not just a flush job. You making a tyrannical picture of it does not negate actual issues that come up. I understand you do not like many parts of the system but it exists and the problems and issues are not solved by simply ranting.
It is a place where voting is the measure of representation. We vote to elect officials who create legislation. Representative Democracy.
You are correct, rants are not very effective. Tell me how EMPOWERING a system that is the source of the problems solves the problems?
No voting could be the measure of who gets elected to be a representaive. Once a person is a representative, you have no power of whether they represent anything you like. More than likely the people that paid for their advertising get the goods and you get the bill.
I am asking about one issue, that is not empowering. You presume that issue-based curiosity is blind support and make a major leap that is unfair. I talk about the way it is and ask specific questions and you have addressed your opinions, tangents, and systematic targets.
Okay. Yet your one issue does not occur as a single happening, it is a symptom and a result of a greater issue.
Unfortunately inferring and opinion don't make fact. Phrasing that is partial, ignoring the issue, and irrelevant angst are not convincing of anything. I support issues one at a time, I ask to see perspective, and have to live in the world as it is......
Okay. So you do or do not support a coercive government?
I support issues not institutions. There are aspects of government I find necessary and ones that are unfavorable. You want to know how I feel about something specific? I don't do generic condescending Q and A's.
with a command of the english language like that, it is no wonder you had to accept subway U's offer.
Did you understand what he said, I did, so why is the sentence structure and spelling so important to you? Seems like a silly way to do things, or is it because you can't inject anything substantial into the debate, yep I reckon it's that.
i was just pointing out that he is law school material is all.
You probably don't realise that the sock puppet thingy has no real relevance to me, I just think it's stupid, I am not from your country so I don't even know what it really means. I protect my brothers man, we trying to free the world of people that think like you because you fucking it up for everybody.
