[QUOTE=ombugge;194627]Oh now I get it. This is how it works: Anybody not American, or not living in America, cannot comment on anything American, unless it is “AMERICA #1”, or “my dream is to live in America”.
Even quoting American statistics and opinions by prominent American commentators is reserved for Americans, unless they are those that fit your views of course.
At the same time it is perfectly “legal” for any American, regardless of how ill informed, to make any kind of comments he/she want about any country, even if they cannot even find that country on a world map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_pw8duzGUg
Since you brought it up; yes let us talk about the Norwegian prison system vs. the American and the merits of the two. In Norway the purpose of prisons are [B]rehabilitation[/B], in USA it is [B]revenge[/B].
I.e Norway try to bring criminals back to society, in America they create harden criminals in prisons. (AKA Correctional Facilities)
Here is a comparison by Norwegian and American prison system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgHdGr4aQoU&t=8s
BTW it is not only Norway that has this attitude. Here is a look at Scandinavian prison systems as viewed by an American Prison Superintendent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfEsz812Q1I
I know that this will not convince you, so let’s just agree to disagree and feel free to do so.[/QUOTE]
Your system is absolute garbage and you know it. The same as it, unfortunately, is in Sweden. But Norway still takes the cake.
Everybody who is sane would pay extra tax money to have murdering and raping sickos never see the daylight again and I’ve heard this wish over and over again. But, no, hey let’s give them barely 20 years of “rehabilitation”, instead of what would be a text book life sentence, and let them play with Play Doh and Duplo while they’re in there, and then release them back into the wild, as it were, just because that’s what the state wants. It’s sick.
Commenting on America is fine, but unfortunately it almost always has a negative connotation, it is like you took a Soviet propaganda booklet from the 60’s and are just paraphrasing it and typing it out. Criticism is fine, but A. you don’t live here, B. you can’t vote. I’ll put it in very simple terms again- it’s simply none of your business.
Americans generally, as I have found out, don’t really have the know-it-all attitude, as you. There is more curiosity, than anything.
Meddle with your own stuff. Go rehabilitate some sociopath murderers, perhaps. But don’t start yapping about my guns and whether I should or should not have them or who I should or shouldn’t vote for.
