Why not debtors' prison?

[tod evans]

yeah, I sure don't want to fund prisons, let's get rid of all laws. why should I pay to lock up a person just because he killed or raped somebody I don't know?

Oh come on, you're the one spouting grand ideas try following up just a little bit.

nobody likes funding prisons unless they benefit from it. I guess I can't convince you to fund it if you don't see the benefit.

Try harder.

It's strawman monday...."maybe we shouldn't have ANY laws, rapists and pedophiles running amok in the streets....."


How about this....why must I be responsible to recover money for an irresponsible lender?

[tod evans]

I'm not going to get into a discussion with you about my beliefs on prisons, you opened this thread looking to expand the governments reach with "debtors prisons" and I merely asked you a few questions.

Do you care to answer them?

the same reason you must be responsible for paying to imprison a criminal who didn't violate or threaten you, UNLESS YOU ADMIT WE SHOULD HAVE NO LAWS OR NO ENFORCEMENT FUNDED BY TAXPAYERS.

is it more likely you don't know what you're talking about and can't defend your position because you know how stupid it sounds when you hold yourself to the same rules and burdens you're "merely asking me"?

I will be happy to answer a person who will at least correct me if he's going to cry strawman.

You've got it Ace.

I'm an idiot not worthy of your time.

Bye.

Can't argue with that.

You know which prisons you won't fund, but you can't tell me which ones you want to fund. So when I asked "why not just have zero laws" you complain I strawman you, but you can't correct me.
