Quite honestly I like the idea of taking out the TVs too, but not as a means of punishing them but as a means of de-educating the prisoners of the societal poisons.The TV keep people just as brain drained in jail as the TV keeps people brain drained on the outside of jail in our society. In jail the inmates could watch educational programing just like out in the free world but they stick to the brain dead channels like sports, music and sitcoms. I was in jail and for a short time few days the TV was broken and we actually started talking about real and meaningful stuff, then they brought back the TV and the place went back to ignorant programing. I see the TV just like books in that some few books and some few programs are beneficial and all others are junk. The jails now have brought to society the low hanging pants and nuckle hand shakes, so take out those brain washing TVs and I believe the jails would improve big time for the de-education and un-brain washing of the prisoners which is what they really need. It was society's norm that got most of the prisoners in trouble in the first place. ![]() | |

I did correct that statement in a later post saying that I do agree that the prisoners do need educated but I do not mean to be educated into being better at social norms as that got them into trouble in the first place.I would like to educate the inmates on how to think independently and not to follow the sheep and about the correct ways of religion too. ![]() | |

![]() As for you being on God's side.... I have not seen any evidence of you living a life that could be seen as just or holy. I think you insult God fearing people by using his name to back up your crap. I'm not even a Christian and it angers me to watch you spread your crap. In his name, no less. A God fearing person would own up to his/her mistakes and work hard to make amends. Your a sanctimonious azz wipe and you have no business in politics or discussing rights and wrongs with anyone. You are a hypocrite, a fool and you should be silenced.
