The alarm clock went off.

Why are you up so early in the morning?

But why is it going off so early? Do you have to travel heaps to get to work?

I haven't been to bed yet.

They have been corrupt since the days of Ned Kelly. The system around them allows it to happen.

I just don't talk to them. Period. It wouldn't make a difference to me if one of my relations or friends were murdered.

Nobody should talk to the police and repeat other people's business or their interpretation of as a matter of manners basically. Melbourne does this better than most other states. Having lived in other states, I have a theory about why this works particularly well in Victoria.

Nor should anybody speak freely around them as if there might be no consequence ... same goes of any company, uniformed or not.

Soon as they put that uniform on Snake and most of them do for the right reasons, idealistically to serve, they're fked. They get spit on first parade, usually Moomba and that sad realisation that nobody likes them. Scraping slagg off the back of their shirts.

Try, for social good my friend next time you see a young cop on the street say 'Hello how goes? I'm okay right now, how about you?"

IMO, much of this arises for two reasons.

1) They are not representing laws that are reflective of the will of the people, due to a political system that is detached from the populace.
2) There is no genuine oversight mechanism to keep corruption in check, nor is there any intention to create one.

Yeah, that's not happening.

WTF is wrong you're so dogged you can't try something new? Its kind of anal.


Trying to get my head around the rest ... just wait I do have something half intelligent to say

1) I try plenty of new things all the time.
2) There's nothing "anal" about it. I don't converse with crocodiles either.

A few hours sleep might help.
 
Lost me at golf ... terrible game it's almost as bad as cricket. It's not even a sport.

And I have THREE sets of golf clubs would you believe, for some reason they just keep stacking up in the garage. I didn't buy them, I hate golf.

Post reported.

I'm not sure this is correct. I think you are wanting the tail to wag the dog. You correctly point out the political system is detached from the populace but I dont think our laws reflect this. I think you are confusing sentencing - Judiciary- with what people want

I think people are happy with the current laws in place - its the sentencing most have concerns with.

I will agree with this.

They are the front line face of the enforcement arm of the state.

No, i'm not.

Where do you want me to start with that?

We are ideological opposites, so it's a pointless discussion anyway.

I am a libertarian who believes in direct democracy, and you're a statist who doesn't believe the existing position is hard enough, so what's the point?

If you want my view then start with every single piece of criminal legal legislation that was not directly itemised as a political election platform. This should take you about 5 years.

"Tough on crime" accounts for all sorts of absurd misreprsentative bullshit.

I hadnt realised I was a statist. Interesting

Tough on crime. You mean like wanting proper assessments on a prisoners recidivism chances? Wanting Bail laws to be harsher on those already given opportunities? Wanting sentencing to reflect a persons history ?

I believe there are a lot of social issues surrounding crime, literacy being one of the biggest . I think Governments should do all they can to raise the literacy rate. If these means continuing remedial education in prisons then do it. I know education is the one resource that gets cut back in any budget review and I dont agree with it.

I think parole is a gift not a right. If you think you can sit on your arse in prison and expect to waltz out then think again. If you are required to do a program , whether it be anger management , sexual offending or drug and alcohol then you do it and you do it to the satisfaction of the assessor. Or you can do your full sentence. And I have known people to choose this option

This is the reducing recidivism along with literacy and education classes

If you breach bail then you go to remand until your case comes before the court

If you have an escalating history of offending then sentencing should reflect this. If you are too stupid to learn the first time , or even the second then you have issues that need attending, do the program.

If as a Libertarian you think its ok for people to get out of prison and continue to assault people or rob from them then we are miles apart. People have a choice. The lazy choose to bash and rob someone rather than look inside themselves.

This is exactly why a discussion with you is pointless.
 
Is there something medically wrong with you?
Yes there is but it has no effect on my impartiality. For someone who pretends to have studied law you seem fairly, um, simple. Jail is all about restricting freedoms. You may (or may not) have studied law but you certainly don't understand it. Here, I googled it for you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison

"A prison,[a] also known as a correctional facility, jail,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison#cite_note-5 gaol (dated, British and Australian English), penitentiary (American English), detention center[c] (American English), remand center,[d] or internment facility (commonly used term in military theatres of war/involvement), is a facility in which inmates are forcibly confined and denied a variety of freedoms under the authority of the state. ..."

Of course, you'll now give us the argument that Wikipedia is wrong but really, all we're after is a general definition.

You use a lot of words to say nothing.

Please challenge yourself and post what you think is wrong with the ''system''

Your level of self awareness is microbial.

Why? So you can build yourself another billboard to plaster narrow minded generalizations all over?

You're not intelligent enough to have this discussion with me at any meaningful level. It's a waste of my time.

Declare yourself "the winner" and move on.

Lol again you use a lot of words to say nothing. You hold no positions. Oh and using the 'I'm smarter than you so dont waste my time'' is the comeback of stupid people. If you were as clever as you say you would utilise those smarts and post highly intelligent and critical responses

der der i'm cleverer derr derr

You display your intellect with every additional post.

Congratulations on your noble victory.

Your on a chat forum, it will always have different ideas.
Why not discuss them instead of suggesting its pointless.
Antime someone questions you this is the stance you take, not sure why your here.
Are you looking for affirmation of your ideas?
