"Rather than assuming they are a right off from society and that everyone is better with out them, spend some of the 25+ years worth of prison money on educating them why what they did was stupid."
Isn't that what the first two strikes do? They went to prison once. They still indulged in criminal behaviour. They went to prison twice. They were told that if you do this again you will spend the rest of your life in prison, and they STILL committed a crime. Obviously trying to tell them that what did they is wrong is not working. We threatened them with a fucking lifetime in jail, and that still did nothing to stop them committing crimes? I think we can write them off at that point.
The problem isn't that you raise the issue, the problem is the aggressive language "sucks". Not has problems, not is limited, "sucks".
The guy writing it probably knows it has problems. He's probably working really hard on it. Maybe he stayed late at work to try to improve it, instead of seeing his girlfriend. And you come along and just say "sucks". Even if he wasn't there, you're still having a go at him in front of other people.
Being polite, diplomatic, calm and considered is not being an "ineffectual drone". You're falling into that mindset that you have to be a cunt to get stuff done. You don't.
He's not "unlucky". He was punished for a crime. He thought to himself, I'll just go and take what I want, and fuck everyone else. We don't want people like that in society. Good riddance.
It's not a serious crime? You're right. That's worse! He's so sociopathic that he'll break the law even when it's not even worth it to him! He'll take your property, even when he could pay for it.
