Re: The Glorious American Justice system!
There's a difference between offering a point of view and repeating that point of view ad nauseum at every opportunity. You think America is backward and barbaric. Okay, got it. We've heard you and we don't care. Can we talk about something else now?Originally Posted by HoreTore

I do not, but I can see how a nationalist like you would think so.
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

Didn't you just say...
You're a European, no? Or you're not one of those Europeans?...FYI Americans, this is why we Europeans consider you barbaric...

Mindless nationalism trademark #3: the tendency to take everything literally, especially when it's negative statements about ones country.

Perhaps you could provide the figurative meaning of your statement for this "mindless nationalist"? Or would this be considered a "Mindless nationalism trademark #4"?

Re: The Glorious American Justice system!
Don't see much point in that.
Anyway, back to the topic:
Anyone else have thoughts on the three strike system, and/or on giving the most severe punishment for nonviolent crimes?

Right. Because there was no alternate figurative meaning.

Re: The Glorious American Justice system!
Three strikes is an insane idea. It takes an extremely self-righteous person, or perhaps just a stupid one, to think that locking someone up for life for three petty convictions has anything to do with "justice".
And it's bloody expensive as well - I wonder how many of its supporters are self-described "fiscal conservatives".
