[QUOTE="Savant, post: 176782, member: 546108"] *sigh* Apparently you don't understand the Law of Conservation of Energy.. To a large degree it applies to this (conceptually).. The US, one of the smaller countries in the world, consumes over 50% of the WORLD's resources.. that means, there are a LOT of human beings going without so we can consume.. Additionally, you haven't been paying attention to the other threads you've been posting in where I comment on our Economic model, that requires unemployment to drive it.. That means, in order for 'most' people to have nice things, others have to go without a job (at least for a short time) and end up loosing stuff.. but guess who never looses? THE RICHEST people in the country.. they always gain becuase there are always people loosing.. WTF??? You pick a total psycho that should have been executed and one that is a Dictator of a 3rd world nation? and ask how rehabilitation would help when the whole idea is trying to let a ghetto kid know that he doesn't have to sell drugs on the corner for the rest of his life, he can actually do something else? Holy crap.. you are really reaching now.. another diversion tactic... I never said everyone elses was golden..
