The idea that the USA does rehabilitation is very outdated. We gave up on that decades ago, and we now throw people in jail for life for very minor crimes. And in vast numbers, too... the US is said to have the highest per-capita imprisonment rate in the world. Bush Sr.'s "War on Drugs" has a lot to do with that. I actually voted for Clinton's first term primarily because I hoped he'd set things straight. But he didn't, and Bush the Younger isn't looking to do any better. | |

And you're COMPLAINING about this? jobe, the whole point of having a criminal justice system is so that we can lock away people who are a danger to others. People who are not a danger to others have no business being run through the criminal justice system.
Yes, I realize this is a vastly simplified version of a complex set of problems. | |
This may come as a sever shock to you, Jobe, but we were talking about drug users, not the mentally disordered. When you say "rehabilitation" in a conversation about drug users, you're talking about drug rehab, unless you noticeably change the subject.
And, for future reference, bipolar and manic-depressive refer to the same disorder. ok you all dident get it. the governemt dose not throw peaple in prizin(they do jail for a short while) if they have even an acute mental disorder and they are not a danger to others... so if you are bi polar manic depressive parinod scitsfrentic (not spelled right..) or even just a bi polar... they cannot throw you in jail unless you fail a 1 month rehabilitation.. in a mental hospital... | |
Yes, I realize this is a vastly simplified version of a complex set of problems. Are you talking about your reply, or the person to whom you are replying? | |
Hmm... just need to brainstorm a title... If noene makes this game I might. I think it would be pretty fun heh. I'll probably use some kind of show title or something like "Programmer Court" or "BYOND Bash-a-thon(maybe just BYOND Bash)". but the Copy-Wrong would be good. | |

Jobe, I'm not even going to bother trying to explain anything to you any more. My optimism only goes so far.

Anyway... while I may not like DBZ or even many of the DBZ game players, I think they've been positive for BYOND by simple force of increasing the user base. And a lot of them play other games, I mean, it's great to pop in and see 5 strangers playing Lexiconomy. I like it and I think an investor would too.

Or, we could have it like a court, one side says something, and the other side has to defend, and vice versa, after 3 rounds of this hectic rambling, the jury will talk amonst them selves, and decide an outcome, we should not put this on the hub, we should put it out on the games live so everybody can see one trial, it would be better, and the jury will be picked randomly. And the audince may talk amonst themselves, but, not too much, and the people in the trial would not be able to hear them, then, we could fine things, like maybe.....lose some "dimes" in the game, or, get put in "jail". It would be all about ego's. And for the first trial, i want to be in it, i want to prove that the creator of db gods stole my game!!!! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Well thats sounds fun, I'm gonna try to make it and If I do, I'll be the judge HAHAHA! if anyone wants to help me contact my e-mail, which can be found in the people link. <edit: Uhh, so who's first in the court? and 1 more thing, what are the name of the two people in the court? Also anyone wanna host it?> | |
Hmm... just need to brainstorm a title...
"Plagiarama". Possibly "Plagi-a-rama"? The problem here is that plagiarize includes a natural "ar" that doesn't immediately follow a consonant, so there's no natural way to break it up. Of course, I've got 50-50 odds that I'm wrong about how to spell plagiarize.
"Copy-wrong". It's a very wierd name but I like it for some reason.
"Hypocrisy War". Too generic, but, eh.
"Vigilante Copyright Law". Would work a lot better as a subtitle than a title, but I like it.
