- 2bluesc 10y agoWhich people? Those instituting the policies or those accused of the crimes?

- guard-of-terra 10y agoYou see, 35 years ago you signed this order on d'tention over hard drive 'ncryption? That's unconst'tutional, you know. Here we've got the relevant law. So now we have to w'draw a 35 years worth of pay that you received aft'wards. That's the law that say that, too. We'll start by taking your house 'way. Also we our records show you gave $100k to your daughter 15 years ago. I'm 'fraid we have to put a debt on her for that sum, with 'nterest. Here's the rel'vant court order.
- ghurtado 10y agoWhy do you do that with apostrophes? It makes your comment harder to read and doesn't add anything to it.
- sixQuarks 10y agoI think he's doing a southern accent
- kpil 10y agoIt's the future! ( You must also imagine a wobbly fade before reading the comment. )
- throwanem 10y agoHe's not. He might be trying, but if so then one has to question whether he's ever heard such an accent before.
- ghurtado 10y agoSounds like the (very crude) interpretation of a foreigner who's never been to the US.
- coldtea 10y agoHow's that different than "revenge fantasy" fiction? Slim chances of anything like that happening. Besides, there are such people in every generation. They just change what they target (after all it's about the control and the profit, not about particular victims. E.g. now they can afford to play it non-racist, since why should they care much about suppressing blacks in particular, when they can now fuck the whole population?).
- guard-of-terra 10y agoI don't know about such a fiction but I guess that would be it. If we are persistent and unforgetting, this might become a reality one day. We should find "such people" in every generation and make sure they don't have a chance to do such mistakes to pay for them later, but on the question of payment we should be adamant. The trick here is to not be conflict-averse and not be a slave of own wallet but to care about justice even after the years.
- ghurtado 10y agoYou don't seem to have a clear understanding of the distinction between justice and vengeance.
- guard-of-terra 10y agoHow would you ever persuade people to respect principles underlying the law when you fail to punish people who are the law? Modern justice is all like this: We know this guy perpetrated, but it was some time ago and he's well connected and it's awkward for us so we're going to "hate his sin" but without any effect on his well-being. But you, dear listeners, please behave. Ah, on unrelated note, we jailed a poor person for 10 years for a fraction of damage because it was politically convenient.
- ghurtado 10y agoThose are all justice problems, but you are proposing to fix them with "revenge" type solutions. Is this maybe a cultural thing? Is vengeance a commonplace solution to problems in your culture?
- dang 10y agoYou've posted plenty of uncivil comments to HN and we've given you plenty of warnings. If you continue to do this we are going to ban you.
