News to me, I did not know you guys claimed that.
The 13th amendment claims otherwise, in fact.
So crazy to think that slavery is still a thing in America but you're instantly blacklisted for even mentioning it
Does anyone else only see asterisks?
DUE TO INFLAMMATORY AND INACCURATE SPEECH, THIS MESSAGE WAS EDITED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
Is the record correct now?
Not me.
It's what our politicians claim the system is for. It's obviously not, but that's the claim.
From an outsider view I did not even know that your politicians claimed that, I thought it was just a few more hopeful ones saying it should be that. I always assumed it was common knowledge that the system in the US was for punishment and whatnot first. Might just be me seeing the movie "Tank!" as a child.
They only say so to those of us who are aghast at the cruelty and don’t take “but bad people” for an answer
Yeah, the US has way to many "bad people" per capita for that to have ever made any sense.
Yeah I forgot about that. Is anyone dumb enough to believe this?
