This is what a lot of the other “well if you commit crimes then you go to jail” people in this thread are missing. They need to explain why Americans commit 6 times more crimes than Canadians.
- vxNsr 6y agoProbably all those white supremacists that those other counties don’t have.
- thewarrior 6y agoIf you’re sarcastically implying what I think you’re implying which is that certain minorities commit a disproportionate number of crimes in the US, that still doesn’t explain it. All countries even wealthy ones have disaffected minorities that are economically and socially backward. But among the first world countries only America has such a severe crime problem.
- vxNsr 6y agoI’m sarcastically implying that attempting to apply someone else’s marginally successful model to a totally different culture is a recipe for a bad time.
- Ensorceled 6y agoCanada is not a “totally different culture”. Also, your definition of marginally is ... odd.
- dv_dt 6y agoAnd why does the US almost 3x the rate of nations like China which we like to point out as human rights repressive. (and yes that includes third party estimates of political prisoners).
- thewarrior 6y agoI’m not sure if people in the US realize that they make a big issue about forced labor in China while having one of the worlds largest prison populations that is also subject to forced labor. I rarely see this discussed.
- kazinator 6y agoThey don't; the USA is ridiculously tough on minor offenses, or even behaviors that are not even wrong, like possessing drugs.
