Not 1 in 100 has been in prison at some point in time... no, 1 in 99.1 were in prison (at the same time) at the start of the year.

For my admittedly terrible memory, I don't recall anywhere besides this thread that I've mentioned it where it was off the topic. And it actually helps me with my point here, that people are just trying to "wow" (haha pun intended) us with numbers. You guys who gasp at these numbers seem easily taken by percentages and big numbers, and much less likely to just chalk it up to the fact that there are bad people out there that are going to do bad things. And that it shouldn't be anyone's responsibility to rehabilitate them but themselves.

shut up impala. you're the biggest bullshit artist on these boards. you try to hide your illogical and over generalized answers behind pretty words and looping sentances. when you are defeated in an arguement, you completely ignore what was said, and try to pick out a single PART of a sentance that isn't even the focus of the arguement and attack that, so that it appears you are still debating. sit down and shut up, you sound way more intelligent when you aren't speaking.

yawn. more people complaining about the way I post. here's some advice, attack the post, not the poster. When you start to attack the person and not their words, you show you've lost.
