No, even your own actions betray that you really believe that. This is what is commonly referred to a front...it's how one attempts to save face.

The game your playing is pretty obvious dude...you got lost in the sauce somewhere along the way...now your playing the "oh you're a troll" game. You haven't been able to let it go, so you've put up a front and now persist in this back and fourth.

B..b..but...what do you mean by that?!?!?

HAHA

I'm still not trolling you, but at this point I've got like 5-10 mins before I gotta go home for the day. So have the last word, this has run it's course anyways.

These words and phrases; "tendies" "lost in the sauce". I don't what any of this means but...with regard to your No, even your own actions betray that you really believe that claim, I thought you were going to illustrate something about my actions that suggest that I don't actually believe that you were trolling me. You haven't done that, you just posited a theory. But in any case, if one is making deliberately offensive or provocative posts about me, my character or my cores beliefs. If one suggests that I'm lying about my belief system, without cause or proof. And if such an act isn't personal, as you've claimed, then it must have been done for a laugh - hence trolling. And all I'm I saying is, "cool. well done. you got me" I don't see anything wrong with that.

Whole prison system needs an overhaul. Too many people in jail. It's one thing to put dangerous murderers in jail, but they give out huge sentences for lots of other crap. I'd rather rehabilitate than spend tons of money paying for someone to be put in jail.

Well, that's how a civilized society would work.

@thebest31406: Yeah. I just think our justice system is too much based on retribution and vengeance as opposed to rehabilitation and justice.

Politically, it's a very effective way of convincing society that the state is "serious" about crime, without having to bother with the work of ridden the country of the socioeconomic elements that perpetuate crime.

Modern day slavery. Quite shameful considering how often our country likes to take this "anti-slavery" position.

Sony is doing it as well albeit in another country

Sony’s PS4 is made with the blood and tears of unpaid blackmailed student laborers

M$ and Nintendo also use Foxconn. That negates that.

This thread is about the Prison Labor in the US though, something M$ and Nintendo use as well.

Exactly. This amateur troll is like, "you play a role in it so shut your mouth." You would have thought I created the topic.

I am not getting in the middle of that, but I will just say that the argument "and you, too!" is a tu quoque or appeal to hypocrisy is a logical fallacy.

Gee, thanks for that; they don't make you 'moderator' for nothing...*eye roll*

Sorry for this btw. I misunderstood your comment. So the whole premise and all of this was because of some logical fallacy that shouldn't have been validated to being with. Good grief.

Whoa, there. You're getting close to having an in-depth conversation that gradually explores the roots of an issue in a calm and rational manner.

Do you have any idea where you're posting?!
