Is this another thread where the entire forum tries to educate lowing in logic, and he attacks with ignorance?

Or will do you just feel safer continuously criticizing everyone elses opinions, without offering any of your on on the topic? Like Jaekus and company does?

There are many policies bought in by the Nazis that the rest of the world continue to this day.

Where and why did the Olympic flame start? Which was the first party to undertake door to door campaigning? Many similarities between Hitlers economic policies to solve unemployment and FDRs new deal packages.

Anyway why does the country which is THE most free and tolerant have a prison population 5 TIMES higher than any equivalent country?

You can say whatever you want, fact is, you have never committed to anything that resembles a reason as to why YOU think our crime is so high, and I am not talking about bullshit possession charges, we have been through that. I am talking about violent crime. OS tell me again. WHy do you think we have high crime?

Great so you are not comparing us to the Nazis, and wasn't implying it, you just figured you would mention it. Got it.

If those are the laws you are choosing to highlight as demonstrating you have the free-est country in the world then that is up to you. I merely pointed out that Nazi Germany enforced a similar one. Therefore it doesn't line up with your freedom argument. Is there anything in that that is incorrect? I didn't make any subjective judgement on it, I did nothing more than present the facts.

Here you go then, in case you missed it in the 1st 10 pages...

Prison breeds re-offending. You have 5 times the average prison population (per capita) when these prisoners are released they re-offend. As you have such a high rate of incarceration it directly leads to high crime rates.

USA is stuck in this cycle and your suggestion was to increase sentences which is only going to exacerbate the problem. Your other suggestion was to stop prisoners socialising at all while in prison i.e. 3 years plus in solitary before expecting them to integrate seamlessly back into society. Its not going to happen. The only place they are going is back to Jail. "So what" I hear you exclaim. If they are going back to jail that means that there is an additional victim.

How many times do we have to explain to you that the harder you make it for criminals to reintegrate into society, the higher the chance of re offending. Sure I get it, you like the whole revenge and punishment side of justice and that's lovely and all but it should not be at the expense of creating a whole life time of victims.

Every alternative that has been suggested you have scoffed at as being the product of a Nanny state and that you would rather be "free"

What more do you want me to say? Anything that doesn't suit your argument is ignored even if its from your own sources.

Correct me if I am wrong, but you are telling me that there is a direct correlation between us wanting to reel in our illegal immigration problem and the Naiz's reeling in its own legal citizens that were not fuckin' arian? Ok

already responded to that. Our prisoners get free college, free cable tv, free libraries, free gyms. early release programs, and you wanna argue w are too hard on them, that they don't have any real chance to integrate into society. They can come out of jail with a fuckin' college degree, but you insist, we are too hard on them?

I am not omitting anything, I have acknowledged that such incarcerations could best be dealt with by NOT making drug abuse illegal. Been an advocate for legalizing drug use in this forum for a long time, and since that portion of this discussion has already been agreed to, there is really no sense in rehashing it.

Make your mind up which is it? Have I never suggested reasoning or are you just glossing over the fact?

I dont care how you choose to punish them but dont pretend you dont know why you have such a high crime rate.

Here is a question you are guarenteed to ignore and is pretty much the crux of my argument.

Would you hire somebody who has been in prison but now has a degree?

Aryan for starters. Also Aryan =/= non Jews im afraid. Aryan means people that basically are from Scandinavian blonde hair blue eyes, skull sizes etc.

The law did not apply to non Aryans. It applied solely to Jews.

Your law states all immigrants have to have their full documentation on them at all times (what happens when it gets lost or damaged?) otherwise they get arrested (whether they are illegal or not).

The Nazi law was that all Jews had to have their full documentation on them at all times otherwise they got arrested.

You tell me if you think there is a correlation. Remember that completely legal migrants can be thrown in jail under this law for simply not having their papers.

A multiple murderer who went on the rampage after the 9/11 attacks, killing two people he thought were Arabs, has been executed in the US state of Texas.

Mark Stroman, 41, died by lethal injection despite last-minute representations by his lawyer at the US Supreme Court.

In his final weeks Stroman's plea for clemency was backed by Rais Bhuiyan, who was shot but survived.

Mr Bhuiyan had said that killing Stroman was "not the solution".

Stroman admitted the killings, saying he was motivated by anger at the 9/11 attacks and wanted to take revenge on Muslims - or people who resembled Muslims.

Dunno depends on the crime I guess. I doubt I will hire a convicted child molester or a rapist for anything. Now go ahead tell me that you would.


You are not going to believe this, but all of us are required to show ID when asked. Do you think our govt. is firing up the ovens as we speak? THere is nothing wrong with asking suspected illegals to prove they are not. Sorry you think so, agree to disagree. How is it you do not think the state has a right to know who is sponging of off it and to try to stop it? By the way,

yeah, and? Have you never heard of a death chamber apology before? Or anyone trying to save their own skin from being put to death. I wonder if the begging resembled anything like that of his victims. and no, I didn't ignore it. I stated  someone should ask the dead guy if he forgives his killer, not the live one.

Jesus. Lowing read it properly not what you want to see FFS. Every single post that does not support your argument you completely mis interpret. Im sure you are doing it deliberately.

The victim that got shot in the face and is now blind in one eye was campaigning to remove the attacker from death row. Nobody gives a damn whether the attacker is "showing remorse" the reason it was posted was the attitude of the victim.

Why does the victim not want this man killed?

If we are going to listen to the victims now regarding punishment, can we then put people to death if the father of the little girl that was raped wanted her attacker to be executed? Or was that just a one way street you wanted to drive down because it bolstered YOUR argument? I mean hell if we want to let the victims hand out justice...LETS!!

and as I said, the DEAD GUY is one he is being executed for, not the live one.

Well I can not deny that if we followed Ninja's proposals our prisons would not be over crowded. We would not throw anyone in prison, forgive them and give them all the chances they are willing to take. Now there is a plan.

I of course can only assume this, since he has yet to go out on a limb and give his opinion as to the high crime rate.

Hitler was elected with more than double the highest vote received by any of the previous governing parties. The Nazis and the KPD both received support as the electorate were polarised by the failure of the 5 moderate parties. Hitler's greatest strength was his Charisma and the time he spent preparing and practising speeches is well documented his rallies were fantastically popular and an electorate who had felt ignored and neglected over the previous 15 years suddenly found somebody who they felt connected with them.

The Nazis were by far and away the most popular party in Germany at the time and I would even go so far as to suggest that if Hitler had joined the KPD instead then they would have got into power.

The only time I would concede that the Nazis made efforts to manipulate the vote was the whole burning of the Reichstag in regards to granting Hitler emergency powers (im pretty sure that's what the vote was on, correct me if I am wrong). However the vote they received FAR out weighed the majority they required as they had not banked on such a high level of support, it is entirely possible they could have passed these measures without the attempted manipulation.

His early attempts to get power through force were a complete failure and he realised that the only way to get into power was by following the rules, so he did. Until he got into power of course because then he could make his own rules.
