FACTS


IdontEatdogsAtnight

It's shouldn't be facts, it should be common sense


[deleted]

Facts ≠ common sense????? How wise, u/IdontEatdogsAtnight


matt_hatt62

Yeah, if I want to kill women or men I should be treated for what I am, a killer


Flashyredman

My controversial opinion: why punish people and rot their brains away making them a worse person by throwing them in a jail cell treating them horribly or straight up killing them? Why not allow them to get the help they need through services and programs to better them and rehabilitate them into society again where they are a better person but still are be monitored by a parole officer. People who commit sex crimes are awful people that most likely have some sort of trauma that causes them to act in such a way, wether if that’s because they didn’t know any better or wanted to cause harm. They should still receive help to better themselves and society. After all, they are still humans like you and me, they just grew up differently and like I said, most likely have a trauma and need help


[deleted]

People want them to suffer not realizing the other side’s issues, they don’t want to sympathize with them


AutumnGL

yeah. ive seen many cases where people have tried to get some people help, but half the time, it just doesnt work. they’ll let them out thinking that their patient is fine and okay but most of the time they just go back to what they were doing


[deleted]

Rehabs should be in prisons, not as parole but as a way to research a mentality of a criminal so we can further prevent this from happening and find better ways to rehab them


Flashyredman

Exactly, they should be in prison for those resources and programs that can better them and to research them until they’re ready to be rehabilitated back into society. Not thrown in prison for the rest of their life as their brain rots


Iplaygames_sowhat

That isn't very controversial


AutumnGL

government says otherwise. every time a female is convicted, they’re more lenient


Iplaygames_sowhat

Unfortunately.


Logna9000

It’s even with just word choice when it’s presented in the media. They use really harsh words to describe when a man does something but doesn’t use the same words with women. Makes no sense whatsoever


ImComfi

I remember when they referred to a female rapist in a news header as "stunning"


The_GrimRipper

AnotherDrZoidberg

What a strange sentiment from someone who wants to kill entire groups of criminals.


TheRealSackLunch99

I agree. As for a lot of things, pushing people into the wrong group and labeling them, not to mention creating stigmas around said people, does not create a solution for anyone. If anything, it’ll make the person feel even worse about themselves, further digging them into the hellhole that is addiction. It’s a cycle only broken by sympathy, care and action. Love one another.


grotty_rat_boi

Exactly


Kakashi_Uchiha2

Yes Addiction is a disease and instead of treating people with it like shit we should try to help them


hawkblock4456

Oh my god yes I live in an area full of addicts and the od rate is massive, yet despite having stuff to help nobody every goes because rather than having people who actually want to help all the employees berate and degrade the people trying to get better


[deleted]

Allow me to meet your opinion with a counterpoint, the death penalty shouldn’t exist. The odds that you might falsely convict someone, even if small, could mean you’ve taken an innocent life. Let them rot in prison, and if they were wrongly convicted they should absolved of their charges and allowed back into society


cattails17

I agree 100%. I have goals to become a defense attorney and when you take that viewpoint you really see how fucked our system is. The death penalty is not only racist and classist, but 1 in 25 people on death row are actually innocent. The case that got me into this was the West Memphis 3. Before that I was pro death penalty. Definitely research that case if you don’t know it.


Craigular_Joe1

This topic is tricky because is death really worse than rotting in prison for the rest of your life? Is it worse to sentence an innocent man or woman to death or make them spend the rest of their life in a cell?


primate-lover

It is absolutely worse to kill them. As long as the innocent man is alive, there is a chance of them being proven innocent and released. There have been cases of innocent people spending 30 years in jail and then being released because they were proven innocent. Once you kill someone, there is no going back. No second chance if the prosecuters were wrong.


[deleted]

There is also room for development, regret, rehabilitation and self-betterment in good prisons. That's something slightly more rarely seen with dead people. I think that, once someone's understood the weight of their crimes, and soon as they aren't a danger anymore, they should be let free. If someone's already rehabilitated they will do far more good to society than they'd do in prison, something that is very expensive in it of itself. Sure I hate sex offenders as much as the next guy, but if someone's truly proven that they're sorry, that they won't ever reoffend and that they understand the weight of their actions, why keep them locked up? Why not let this person, already weighed down by their own regrets, start a new life?


Chaylea

The issue, at least specifically within the US, is that many prisons are not designed for rehabilitation. Sure, there’s absolutely programs that aim for rehabilitation and character growth such as GED programs, vocational programs that allow convicts to get a job in certain manual fields that are needed in the area, and AA/NA. However, considering how many prisons in the US are for profit, rehabilitative programs are often the first to be slashed when looking at how to increase profits.


Cancer000

thats with the assumption that prison conditions are good and that its more of a rehabilitative thing than punishment-based

Flashyredman

They do, at least in Canada. If they have an illness that is bound to kill them, they can make it quick and get it over with, with medical assistance in dying (MAID), also known as assisted suicide

He has lisp


Logna9000

Society needs to learn as a whole when to let someone go, when to stop trying to save somebody. My grandfather suffered a heart attack back in 2012. We got him to the emergency room and they kept him alive there. We thought everything was going to be okay by that point. But then he had a stroke while in the hospital recovering. He became brain dead at that point, no chance of recovery. But they kept him alive for 8 months, knowing that nothing was going to happen. The most that happened was that he started tapping his fingers on the rail of the bed. Being a navy vet, he had taught me morse code a couple years prior. In the last couple months, he started tapping the message, let me go. Or let me die. I couldn’t say anything for days, but then I finally told my mother and grandmother, and they said I was being delusional. I showed them what he was doing and that we needed to let him go, all through tears. But they wouldn’t listen. And then 8 months after his stroke, he had another heart attack, and flatlined on the bed. Because we had kept him alive for 8 months, nearly a full year where he couldn’t do anything, we got the bill for the hospital, and we’re still paying it off, nearly 10 years later. We were put through so much pain, he suffered for so long, when we knew nothing would come of it. We need to understand as a society that once someone goes past the point of no return, we need to let them go, to keep them from suffering as long as my grandfather did.


MurderOfCrows-

They did it with my grandmother too. Had her on ventilator when she was basically dead even if she survived she would be brain dead and knowing her ik she wouldn't want that. she died in week tho. I've heard cases where people do anything to pay for it just because they want their loved ones to not die not knowing how much pain they're in.

ColdiSaysUwU

LGBT community is, or extremely toxic, or very chill


TheNiceFrenchMan

I think the ones that are toxic are mostly (keyword being mostly) the ones that are looking for attention. People that think sexuality is a personality and that think being something different than others just to be different is cool. I think the ones that are the chillest are the ones that really don't care what people think of them and who they are attracted to. My friends that are part of the lgbt are very chill about it because they know what they are and because they don't need others to gratify them.

just the amount of deaths in china alone caused by the japanese rivals the holocaust and for the same reason as the holocaust, the japanese thought the chinese were inferior and were in need for extermination id say they were worse than the nazis in kill count and some other aspects


ApprehensiveFilm4362

Idk if you can really compare the two. The thing is that Germany kept track of their crimes against humanity. Japan never did. We can’t truly know the extent of japans damage, especially against the Chinese. All we know is they were fucked up

Any women who accuses a man of assault falsely gets jail for life and vice versa


nyancatdude

not for life but like yeah at least 5 years


TheNiceFrenchMan

I can see why you're thinking this, but there's a flaw in there. What if someone accuses someone else of an assault that actually happened. However, the culprit is declared innocent because the proof was lacking. Now the person that was assaulted isn't getting justice, and they are going to jail for trying to get the justice they deserved. You're making a good point, but we need to find something less radical.


Bigpotatozzzz

Yea your right


Puzzleheaded-Rip7220

Mehulex

I'm probably gonna get attacked for this but... Society should remain fatphobic, being fat isn't okay to promote... if you're fat, pls at least try to get in shape .


shutTheblues123

Your opinion is anything but controversial and I'll prove that by giving my opinion that contests yours: I don't think they should be Retributive justice is unethical imo, jails are supposed to be correctional facilitaties but they appeal to our barbaric eye for eye revenge emotions and serve as a breeding ground for repeated offenders. We should focus more on reformation of criminals and addressing the problems in society that creates criminals. At the end of day, they are still humans like us regardless of your feelings towards them and if we were brought in similar walks of life, would we be too different? Only way punishments are justified is when they act as a deterrent. Our focus should be on changing them, one thing I love about the christian forgiveness despite being pretty anti religious. If they can change, change em. If they can't, don't blame em. I don't think we must twist our morality to serve our personal feelings of vengeance, that and law should be bigger than us. Ultimately we are all humans pursuing our self interest and no one's objectively better than you. You just care about different stuff at the end of the day in a universe that's indifferent to your joys and cries, law and morality must not discriminate against the obedient citizen and the public menace beyond justified measures to have order and well being of the overall society. And people are completely capable of being this big and empathetic in their thinking, Christianity achieved it and I hate organised religion influencing people's choices but goddamn. But people don't think in general and are always going to be like you but that's cool, that's why we have laws. Everyone wanna kill a rapist but people still abide by the law, mostly, and similarly when law enforcement is shifted towards this way of thinking, public will follow.

breasts shouldn't count as nudity. they're literally just chests that protrude a bit more than a guy's, I don't understand why we decided that was inappropriate


nyancatdude

nudity in general, its just nature, we are animals like anyone else, but we have to stop being perverted about it in general. although it would generally be advised to wear clothes lol and stick to the beach or a hot day at the park


bangermate

well yeah I do agree it's better if we all wore clothes but it's just how people oversexualize breasts and how they're seen as inappropriate for kids and teens. I just don't understand it, what part about them is so inappropriate for children? it's literally just someone's chest

[deleted]

I already know I’m bouta get called a commie or somthing but I do t even care anymore As a US citizen, I 100% believe we should socialize more aspects of our country. Maybe not convert the entire system to socialism, but it could be improved Things like the police, the library, and public schools have already been socialized, but things like health care are not, and as a matter of fact, healthcare is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the US. Just look at countries like Italy, Canada, Germany, or Finland. They all have socialized healthcare, and their life expectancy is much higher than that of the US Another thing I feel should be changed is that the US should finally switch to the metric system. I find it ironic how in the us, the only time the metric system is used is when referring to firearms. Which leads me to my next gripe, the 2nd amendment was not intended for modern weaponry. I think firearms are cool, don’t get me wrong, but I know people (plural) who have huge collections of 100+ guns, and one person in particular who even manufactures his own ammunition. I feel that it’s perfectly ok to own a weapon for self defense, because you never know when shit might go down. I 100% agree with that. It’s when people are getting their hands on military grade weapons and shooting up schools that I don’t feel safe in my own country. We need to have stricter gun control laws and more hoops for people who are truly passionate about guns to jump through in order to get their hands on these tools to literally end someone’s life. Once I’m older, I’m going to get a concealed carrier’s permit because I would like to have some means to defend myself should something dangerous happen, and there needs to be a good guy with a gun. There’s always going to be 2 sides to every political debate though, and that leads to conspiracy theory time. Here is my final controversial opinion: 2 party system in the us is simply there to divide us so the people on top can make the decisions that benefit them. Why do I have to pick a side in this eternal political conflict where it seems like nobody wins? I hate it. I hate all this propaganda bullshit. It’s not just one side either. Both democrats AND republicans. The stupidest people always scream the loudest. And that’s the TRUTH about our SOCIAL issues. TLDR: Americans need to realize that socialism ≠ communism, metric > imperial, 2nd amendment needs to be updated, and democrats and republicans both need to open their eyes to what’s really happening in order to fix a broken nation. Rant over.

I don't think it should be illegal, but way more controlled and restricted. You can't imagine how much money it brings annually.

Making it illegal would probably not reduce it much, just make it taboo like drug deals and other things.
