    Ok, so i didn’t dot every I & cross every T when i was responding to the guy. The OP was talking about when you exit jail, but while in it, but fair enough regardless.

    What i basically was saying is the current legal system already hands out verdicts, punishments, & whatnot. The person i was responding to likely doesn’t doubt those, so he shouldn’t doubt them just because people’s rights as humans will be respected.

    Made a 5 page response at first literally citing the Universal Declaration of Human rights, but others who responded when i was done did much better at explaining, so I will just add:

    There’s no reason to stop inmates from voting except for preconceived notions that they are any less human or competent than anyone else. I promise you they aren’t.

    Jury duty? There are already exemptions. Add in prison.

    Just being on someone else’s property, whether the government, a school, store, etc is a priviledge.

    Same with having a job, much less at a type of institution. My awful vision means i am unable to work in the military. Working in the military was never a right in the first place. Nor is working near or at children’s institutions.

    Driving is a priviledge. Visit a city with good public transit, cycleways, & ample walkways & this will be made obvious. If driving feels like a necesity & thus a right, then that’s a problem with your city, but i digress…

    Forced labor in prison camps? Basically indentured servitude. Should be voluntary otherwise you lose benefits, nothing like toilets or clothes or food & water for example.

    Can’t restrict their ability to read books & learn.

    No civil asset forfeiture except to pay off charges from trial (fraud, miney laundering, theft, etc), she even so, when they leave they should be returned a check or cash value equivalent to everything they once owned, minus charges from verdict of course. Otherwise it literally becomes police sponsored theft.



  • Honestly, i think our biggest difference is where we look. I am looking at people who cant easily afford a new car period and have to maintain what they got. The 7k tax credit doesn’t really help them. It helps the middle class where a 40k car with 7-10k tax credit sounds like a nice option.

    Right now, im confident that if the coming cheaper cars flood in en masse, at first they’ll be bought by the people who took interest with the 7k tax credit, and then as they get sold & enter the used market they’ll be accepted by lower income families looking to save money on fuel and servicing over the years by fixing stuff themselves & just having less stuff which needs fixing.

    I am of that income level, so there’s that too.
