@Isadora05 Well, I did it say it was an [i]opinion[/i], so of course you're entitled to your own. But lets not be too overdramatic, are you saying that technically the US has less freedom than North Korea, all Middle Eastern countries, China etc.

I would hope not 馃槄

@Chaoshead you have higher percentage of your population in prison than north korea at least

@Isadora05 And?...

There's freedom of movement, sure. But, there's also freedom of speech, freedom of information etc. Plus, what actual qualms do you have with the judicial process? If the trials are fair, then that just means a higher percentage of individuals commit crimes in America. That hardly has anything to do with freedom. Everyone agrees in certain situations (crimes), it is right and moral to punish people.

@Isadora05 That's because they have a tenth of the population and there whole fucking country is a prison.

@TheProphet why does population size matter though, we are talking about a percent of the population, not actual numbers of people
TheProphetM
@Isadora05 Because they are an insignificant shithole that imprisons their entire population to serve the needs of their boy ruler.

@Isadora05 You'd be surprised. For example, cities have higher crime rates than towns including per-capita. Furthermore the more populated the city, the higher levels of crime proportionally as well. So, a bigger nation has more cities and each city is going to be greatly populated. What will that lead to? More crime per-capita.

When people are cramped together they're more likely to do illegal acts, especially against each other.

@TheProphet btw north korea has a population of 25.5M and about 150,000 people in prison, which is still less percentage of the population than United States鈥檚 21 million prison population out of 325 million
TheProphetM
@Isadora05 Their whole country is a prison where they starve and abuse their people. Do you honestly want to compare that shithole to the US?
