I would love to have lived on my own island or something and start a community where you didnt have to pay taxes or bills and crap like that

You clearly know nothing of slavery, election rigging, police states, propaganda, and indoctrination. Move to North Korea and then get back to us.

Most of our prisons are government run. The ones that are privatized have a contract, with the government, that assures that they get a minimum amount. (like 95%) So when they are below 95% prison population they still get paid the amount that they would get if it was at 95% without having the expenses of those extra people. So really, having less people keeps the profits up more than if they are full.

Prisons are being bought by private companies to turn a profit on people.
You know, like they did with slavery.

What does prison - have to do with slavery? These are inmates that committed crime - they were not sold to prisons like slaves were sold for profit - on every tier, to include their own countrymen. Colleges are private instutions which turn a profit - is that like slavery too? Private hospitals turn a profit - is that like slavery?

More laws make more things illegal makes more prisoners. Like drug laws. Prostitution...look up private prison fraud. There was a judge on PA that was sending kids out wholesale because he was on the take from the private juvenile jail.

Saw that article!! There is no shortage of corruption. Too many Fed regulations - I am not sure what the answer is - but the system could use an overhaul. We spend more $$ on prisoners than any other country - prisons are like hotels.

Prison is for animals - if they dont like it - don't break the law. Slavers are politicians that force legislation down the majority of peopls throat - for the few. So your Your inane ability to obfuscate, marginalize, and blurt false equivalent - non sequiturs is just your egotardity talking... so "Your" inane ability to obfuscate, marginalize, and blurt false equivalent - non sequiturs is just your egotardity talking, with an obvious miltant pro-criminal attitude.

Because China executes 100 times more people than we do. Here are some interesting facts:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-30324440 --> China was harvesting organs from these prisoners and they "promised" to stop doing that. If you believe that, I have some real estate in the South Pole I would love to sell you very cheap.

Also: http://www.newsweek.com/china-executed-2400-prisoners-2013-says-human-rights-group-278733 --> This is case you think I am exaggerating the figures. 2400 is what is being REPORTED. But, because this is a state secret, you can bet these figures are much higher. And, if you add to the mix that they have been harvesting organs from executed prisoners, you bet they have a very good incentive to keep arresting people for petty stuff and killing them for their organs.

Now, how evil does the USA look now?

Could you forward me the details of your real estate? I lived in China for several years and I have seen executions, or actually heard the shots. But 100 times more? Considering the population, I think it's on par with the US. One difference, they ARE guilty of heinous crimes.
0 ups, 9y
And no, I am not in favour of the death penalty. Just wanted to point out, don't believe everything you read. Just live there for a year, it's a different world and mentality.
0 ups, 9y
What part of "state secret" you didn't understand? Also, they harvest human organs for these people. Do you know how profitable is this? There is no incentive for them to execute prisoners for no reason other than for profit. Also, find a documentary about women being executed there, and the "heinous" crimes they are accused for. Two words for you buddy: Tiananmen Square.

As far as prisoner execution numbers, you are putting in the wrong context. To measure proportions, you have to consider PRISONER population and not citizen population. The argument is that the US have the largest PRISONER population in the WORLD. That includes China. So, if the Unites States have more PRISONERS than China, in order to maintain a proportional ratio, United States will have to execute MORE PRISONERS than China. Based on the year I used for my figures, the US executed 46 PRISONERS vs. 2400 in China. Based on the original argument, China executes a much HIGHER ratio of PRISONERS because their PRISONER population is lower than ours. Do you understand now or do I have to illustrate this to you with stick figures?

You could be right. I cannot prove my point with official figures. I assume you cannot either. I do have to admit, a lot of those are most likely innocent. Human harvesting, maybe that's stretching it a bit. But, yes, it's possible. Area 51 is possible too... So unless you are better informed than me, who knows? So, my apologies for my rant.

Stretching it a bit? The Chinese government confessed to doing it. Did you read the articles I posted? Now you are bringing ridiculous counter-points. That's what a desperate person does when he/she can't support his/her points with facts. Good luck to you.

Harvesting, in my opinion, is intentionally killing people with the aim to use their organs. Using organs from people on death row - often convicted innocently - is more like recycling. I do get your point though. On the other hand, there are countries where it's legal to use organs from deceased people unless they have a donor card stating the opposite. I.e. the opposite of a donor card. Belgium springs to mind. I personally think that's not a bad thing. It helps a lot of people and to be honest, who gives a toss when you're buried with a kidney or liver missing. I don't. About your BBC statistics, I'm not so convinced about the facts coming from the Beeb. They are probably right, but on the other hand they also reported with the utmost confidence about WMD's in Iraq. So I'm a bit sceptical...

Off topic, but since you brought it up, the WMD intelligence that the Russians and Brits intercepted and provided the USA with was fabricated by Iraq. By Saddam Hussein himself to keep Iran at bay. He confessed this fact before he was executed. Because of Iraq's history with WMDs, you have no reason to doubt the intelligence was fake; especially when it came out directly from Saddam. He didn't think of the long-term consequences. He was more concerned with Iran's nuclear program and Iran's potential desire for revenge.

I didn't know that. But again, he probably would have said anything at that moment. Let's just say his funeral was slightly "dodgy".

What a desperate person does is actually what you did. Trying to insult someone else. But, sorry. Didn't work. But at least you tried.
0 ups, 8y
Where is the insult you are talking about? I provided you with an article by a British outfit (The BBC) where all these human rights violations are being listed. You, on the other hand, keep countering with baseless "maybe this or maybe that". So my question is valid. You haven't supported a single point with something factual. So, I ask again: how desperate are you to be right?
