But you see that would be an intelligent argument.

That’s not the kind of argument these people make.

They would say it’s because police are getting better at their jobs or something

Ok, I vote in every single election, including every primary. I drive seldom, use public transportation often, eat meat only twice a week, and encourage other people to adopt socially and environmentally forward beliefs.

Do you really think this is enough? I don’t, but there is only so much one person can do.

What exactly are you going to do about it? Seriously list out the specific measures you’re taking.

I’m not disagreeing that It is a terrible thing. What they’re doing is wrong and they should be punished. However we are not so different, and that is the damn truth of the thing. To that end, my comment was merely pointing out that the previous comments argument was very flawed.

Jails and prisons are for the sake of the argument practically the same thing in that both meet all of these criteria. I am not saying that we shouldn’t pay attention to this or catalog it and prosecute the perpetrators, I’m simply saying that the argument of the previous poster was extremely flawed.

If he said the same about men, would you still have a similar outrage? Genuine question, I’m not trying to put you down.

TBF it depends on the prison. In this comment I will be referring to jails and prisons within the U.S., and I am working with the same assumptions you made in your comment.

People are put in jail without trial all the time, when awaiting trial. This is extremely common especially with poorer people who can’t afford bail.

Most prisons and many jails give prisoners a number, and will sometimes even refer to them only by the number. It’s not written on their head, but it is often attached to their uniform, and they can sometimes be punished for taking them off. It’s weird to write it on their head, and really just kinda silly if you ask me. They probably don’t have the resources for name tags because they’ve spent 200% of the budget on more bombs it seems.

Some jails and prisons have conditions that equate to actual torture according to the UN. Extreme heat without AC, cruel punishments, inadequate nutrition and safety. Most notable of these is solitary confinement, which is a very common prison punishment, and which is rightly classified as torture by the United Nations. Some people spend months or even years or decades in solitary confinement.

I think we all agree that the IDF is committing acts of genocide and inexcusable violence against civilians and captured combatants, but it’s also important to not inflate the facts, and to focus our attention on greater issues. Does it really matter so much that the IDF writes a number on their forehead, when they’re also bombing children? Is a marker really a greater evil than a bomb?

Very well put

What you’re saying is not precisely true. To register for food stamps, well, you need to be registered. Likewise for other forms of welfare.

Illegal immigrants are not coming to this country and living off of welfare. That is not happening.

But even if it was, are you seriously going to tell me that the solution to that is to kick those immigrants out? To round them up in camps? That’s not going to help homeless veterans.

People like you will either believe in stupid arguments or talk in bad faith, and then not actually support welfare or UBI at all.
