Stop trying to divert to my situation with school, it isn't even the point. I didn't kill 77 people. I don't want the bastard drawn and quartered, but I don't want him to be in a place with a better quality than most people in the world have.


So they should change their entire system for the imprisonment of one guy?
They should change the system for everyone. If hecan murder and get put in a cozy cell then everyone else can

Are... are you serious? I want their prison system to never have been where they spend 1 million dollars IN PAINTINGS for thieves, murders, and the low amount of rapists because only 1% of rapists get convicted in that country.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Again, that's absurd. They have one of the lowest crime rates and one of the lowest recidivism rates to boot.

You think criminals should be punished, they think the criminals should be rehabilitated. So far, their results speak for themselves.

It's more about reforming than punishing. Seems to work for the most part.

Why do you care how they have solved their crime problem?

Because we are so good at it here in the states? We have the highest recidivist rate. The highest. Our system is the worst.

What gives any of us the right to question the guys who apparently have it figured out? What hubris is this?

You've already admitted that there are more factors than that.

Indeed. To which the prison and the methodology behind it are a part of.

I'm gonna blow a gasket.

I DON'T LIKE OUR SYSTEM. I THINK IT SHOULD BE ABOUT REFORMING WHO THEY CAN, HOWEVER I DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE AWESOME, AMAZING LIVING CONDITIONS.

Jesus -blam!-! Everyone just had to ignore my post.

I'd LOVE to know where you got that statistic from.

I haven't ignored your post.

I asked why you thought it was awesome, to which you replied that as a student you had a lower standard of living. To which I replied that our students should have a higher standard of living.

And then you said I was diverting the argument.

I read and responded.

Not even as a student I have a lower standard of living, my best friend's family has a lower standard of living and both of his parents work their asses off. They have better standards than people working and doing their part in society. I don't like that.

Also I meant my first post.

Wow, another country is doing better than us financially. I guess they should give us all their money.

I said murderers and rapists and thieves shouldn't get a higher standard of living than a working family, where did I even mention that Norway should give us their money?

OK, 1) They choose how to solve their own problems. So far, they are doing a better job than just about anyone else.

2) The problem about people living at a lower standard than Norwegian criminals isn't that the criminals are living the high life, its that people here are living below the proper standard.

Do you get it now?

I doubt it's higher than the Norwegian standard of living.

Because in Europe, everyone has human rights.
Luxury prisons aren't a human right.

Everyone shall be treated equally. Why should someone have to spend their time in prison in a disgusting, dirty hell-hole?

Would you not want the prisoners in your country to be comfortable?
jee now that I think about it why should murderers, thieves and rapists be punished? Good thinking there.

Because they're sensible.

They have a max sentence of 21 years and one of the lowest reoffence rates in the world, too. It works.

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

Because in many Western European nations, scumbags have rights too. Why? I don't know.

For some people it's better being in a prison than being on the streets. This applies to plenty of countries, the U.S too.
