Quote:Our extra taxes pay for better prisons I guess. Plus, our violent crime rate is a lot lower than the US. We just don't have to deal with as many psychopaths as you do. That's why I am out of my league discussing this.
The one thing that Canada has that the US doesn't (last I checked anyways), is a "dangerous offender" status for the really bad guys (or girls). They don't get out of prison, ever. It's our answer to the death penalty.
Hey, that dangerous offender bit is pretty cool, allowing for people to stay in prison even if their offense doesn't seem to actually warrant a lifetime behind bars, like certain violent types or sexual offenders. While I don't agree completely with people spending a life time on the government's dime, making sure certain people stay in for good is a good thing.
I honestly was not aware that such a thing existed. I'd hate for it to happen here though, because it would be abused terribly.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
