But that presentation completely leaves out the fact that the only way to end up in the system is to break laws that are on the books.

By now, there's probably a few hundred people who have been released on DNA evidence who would disagree with that.

Yeah, it stays with them awhile, too.
So when they're released and they can't get work because they're felons, and they can't get food stamps because they're felons, they rob your ass but it's to get 'em back in to build more missiles..THIS IS FOR AMERICA! LIKE YOUR GRANDMA'S VICTORY GARDEN!

The way they're talking, I think it would be more of a meltdown...kind of like Richard Gere spazzing out in The Mothman Prophecies or the guys on Wall Street jumping out of windows in '29. Not "Oh wow, Jesus really is fake...where are you going next Saturday?"

This so has "series" potential

I'm on the fence about whether or not that's going to happen.

Aw, come on!
"The Marsh King's Daughter" has pagans in it.  

When I was in high school I was the kid they picked to be both virgin and a slut. I don't know how I did it but I got daily updates on how my sex life was going. Apparently not only was I amazingly frigid to the point of being able to make ice just by touching water but I was known for disappearing under the bleachers to fuck any number of boys, teachers, and gym equipment.

I found this odd since anytime I wasn't in a class, I was in the library.

I knew girls in high school who were pregnant for three years.
All fever blisters are known as "syphilis" in high school, BTW.

There once was a man named Perky
Whose mistress of choice was a turkey
Two reasons he had,
Turkey upkeep's not bad,
& before he'd fuck his wife he would jerky.

Hey, I tried...

Both link went to the same place?

So...  He is alive?

Or is this a trick of some kind? 

I posted a rebuttal... 

I'm cool with it, Rog.

Thank you.

Frankly, I think you and Nigel will make the best team since those two chicks who drive off the cliff at the end of the movie.  Hate to see you fight over something this inconsequential.

One of these days...ROAD TRIP!!!

I can only find the text/email generator.   

What's it doing, exactly?
I clicked it and a thing came up that looked like crosshairs and did nothing whatsoever (but my shit loads slooooow), I clicked another thing on the top right by the little Osama pic, filled in the text and sent it...

Srsly, it's kind of like that here. The shittiest jobs have people falling over each other trying to get on. The management can treat people like crap and they have to suck it up.

I'm cool with it, Rog.

[no point in anybody going to them]

Counselors are a complete waste of human skin, no point in anybody going to them who isn't trying to make a court case go away. The whole profession is a total farce. Either you're bad off enough for a psychiatrist or you're ok.

There.  Nigel falls into the category of "anybody".

That was early in the thread, before I knew that none of the ones that people I've known have dealt with were certified. When that was cleared up, I allowed that a competent one could do some good.
Nigel's taking stuff like "A friend probably wouldn't use a term like "boundary issues" but they might say something like "why'd you let it get to that point?" Same result." and somehow getting "YOU need to stay out of therapy" out of it.
Looking over this thread, I would rather suggest she stay in therapy.

What the fuck?  Are they trying to make a real life Shawshank?  But really, they are ignoring the obvious practical point of all this which is keeping prisoners, and more to the point prisoner's minds, active is going to go along way to maintain the peace.  Just letting them sit and stew in their cells is just asking for it.  

Like Roger said, prisons aren't about rehab or punishment anymore, it is now Big Business™.

Well, yeah, but if they riot the state ends up killing off it's slave labor force.
Who's gonna build those missiles to send to the middle east?

The victims of a police sweep for anyone holding 0.8 oz of pot. Backfilling inmate spots is built into the system.

True.
And when that plays out, the CIA can just bring in another fuckload of heroin.

Check out these awesome dark circles


KILL ME ..........or just give me a fucking day off please

Even tired and upset enough to kill a motherfucker, Squidday is bee-you-tee-ful.

She is.
She could get a Calvin Klein modeling gig and tell that job to suck balls.

As I've mentioned before, Stella dear, I would appreciate it if you didn't comment on my life as if you know more about it than I do.

Personalizing ITT

Your last reply was to a personal post about my actual experience, FYI.

I've been noticing that. Several observations/experiences I mentioned seem to be, according to you, a "personal post about your actual experience". Okaaaaay...

Um... no. The post you replied to was a post I made myself that was specifically about my personal experience. That's not open to debate.

I see.
No input allowed that's not in total agreement with what you said.
Okaaaaay...

That's not it at all. It's that it is, in general, pretty disrespectful to make comments on people personal stuff that implies that you know better than they do about their own lives. You have twice, now, tried to tell me that I would have done just as well without therapy. I am here to tell you that you are completely full of shit, have no idea what you're talking about, and every time you try to push that line you make yourself look a little bit more like a jackass.

Pls to point out where I said "Nigel, YOU would have done just as well without therapy."
Again, personalizing ITT.
