Open-Eyed Thinking (Exploring Uncomfortable Topics) — Page 3

Yes we do. If we have enough money to put millions of people in jail and buy a billion billion worth of weapons we've got the money.

But to be practical, why not teach them to help each other in a mini economy? Have some of them learn to bake bread, have others raise chickens, and others mend fences. Try to make it as self-sustaining as possible. Anything to keep them from getting bored and then wanting their fix.

Those who don't participate (according to their abilities) don't get some perk or other, but instead get assigned to one of their buddies for safe keeping until they are able to care for themselves.

One thing about these resorts though: no kids can be born there so the men will have to be 'fixed.'

Actually the same thing should be done with long-term dangerous offenders in prison just to keep their conjugal visits unproductive. Having children under such circumstances can only lead to problems.

I still think such resorts are, as an idea, stupid at best and extremely dangerous at worst.

Question 5: How old is Trident? I'm thinking like 15.

... so many go to bed hungry in this nation, yet cat food is full of tuna! I can't help but think each time I go to the zoo and see those porpoises, crammed into those tiny tanks, what a waste that is. Butcher half of them now! That's hundreds of pounds of dolphin meat that can be fed to our cats, freeing up that tuna for our nation's hungry.
[...]

... so many are cold, shivering in the night, so I say, butcher those cats, skin them! Use their fur to keep hundreds warm!

Did I say 15? Stupid dyslexia. 51.

 Why? I can think of a bunch of reasons, but I'm wondering if they are the same.

Right now I think it's stupid that we let people live off of garbage while we pretend they aren't really there.

This is a slippery slide just waiting to be slid upon.

 Is it kinda like the slope we slid down when we released everyone from sanitoriums (yay!) only to let them live under bridges?

If he's fifteen, he has a good grasp on spelling, punctuation, and grammer for someone of his generation.

 Well thanks, I guess! lol!

This thread should be renamed "Impractical Thinking."

 But you haven't contributed enough to it yet in order to force a complete thread title change based on your input.

Why not just tell me what you don't like about the ideas and maybe I can think about them some more.

It's not like I'm in power of anything. I can't do any of these. I'm just thinking that the way things are could be better.

It's a good thing this is off-topic. Otherwise you probably wouldn't be getting away with these multi-posts.

 This place is kind of strange. I think I'm going to try somewhere else for a bit.
