We should get Kim Kardashian to focus her prison reform efforts on making Devil’s Island a thing

2019-06-03 22:12:16 UTC  

The winner can earn their freedom

2019-06-03 22:12:36 UTC  

@RoadtoDawn One of my many issues with the idea of an Island full of exiles, is you get (the person or party aggrieved) nor receive justice (the offender). Which would start creating even more problems then its looking to solve.

2019-06-03 22:16:56 UTC  

Say,
What this person or person's murdered your family?
Well we sent him to an island where he can keep doing those kinds of things. Hope that makes you feel better.

prisoner's island is a theory that's used in game match making quite a bit. It doesn't work for reformation (at all - it's actually been shown to make peoples' behavior worse), but it's certainly effective at keeping the people you don't want ruining your game for everyone else out of their games

2019-06-03 22:18:38 UTC  

(DOTA 2 is a major example of a game that uses a prisoner's island style low priority queue for players that get reported a lot, and Valve has found that once someone ends up in there, it's REALLY hard for them to get back out)

2019-06-03 22:19:10 UTC  

so basically - if there's any goal of reformation at all, don't use it. Otherwise, I mean, it's effective at what it's intended to do

2019-06-03 22:19:24 UTC  

ethical, when talking about locking up criminals together in a real life context? eeeeeeeeeeh

2019-06-03 22:19:42 UTC  

It’s meant for the extreme

2019-06-03 22:20:03 UTC  

Like high profile criminals

2019-06-03 22:20:13 UTC  

Dictators and such

2019-06-03 22:21:21 UTC  

sure, I understand that. Then we get back to the question of ensuring that it only happens to those that are 100% without a doubt guilty of such a crime

2019-06-03 22:21:25 UTC  

>thinking murderers have caring family members
😂

2019-06-03 22:21:33 UTC  

also, there's still the question of if it's even ethical to do

2019-06-03 22:22:42 UTC  

I’m pretty sure we’ll know if a dictator is guilty or not.

2019-06-03 22:22:57 UTC  

I don't see how, if you had such a place, you would start growing a populist of individuals wanting to do something just to go there.

2019-06-03 22:23:06 UTC  

Or not.

2019-06-03 22:27:35 UTC  

This is a good thought experiment, as it begs the question when we talk about things like ethics, justice, etc.

2019-06-03 22:30:33 UTC  

Its almost never ethical to create something that will cause more suffering then required.

2019-06-03 22:31:45 UTC  

Ehem, y'all realize that banishment to an island ***IS*** prison, ¿right?
And that it's been tried before... And failed...

2019-06-03 22:35:20 UTC  

depends on your criteria of failure

2019-06-03 22:36:52 UTC  

Just bring back the Roman Colloseum. Replace Sunday night football with Sunday night head brawl.

2019-06-03 22:37:53 UTC  

and then when hate speech laws eventually become a thing we'll get to fight lions for saying faggot

2019-06-03 22:38:28 UTC  

Just make it for felons

2019-06-03 22:39:30 UTC  

Or volunteers.

2019-06-03 22:52:49 UTC  

@C1PHER
Napoleon BONAPARTE.
@DJ_Anuz
Now the Colloseum I might be able to get behind...
@Draco552
I'm not afraid of the lions.

2019-06-03 23:13:59 UTC  

R/politics is a joke.

"Yeah. Investigate the FUCK out of everything possible. Ignore people on the right who say it's a witch hunt. Unearth so much shady fucking shit that McConnell gets buried under a mountain of corruption. Get EVERYTHING out into the light."

2019-06-03 23:14:37 UTC  

How much money was spent on the investigation?

2019-06-03 23:15:05 UTC  

Since when do democrats care about money?

2019-06-03 23:16:04 UTC  

I'm just wondering

2019-06-03 23:16:46 UTC  

I don't trust Reddit's headlines. A lefty friend sent me a link to a Reddit thread that said something like "Trump admits Russia won him the election" over his tweet where he said he had nothing to do with Russia helping him win the election

2019-06-04 02:28:07 UTC  

I heardd they where crazzy expensive we have something simlair in canda but its cheaper to get real flowrss than this stuff. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/06/03/ftd-files-bankruptcy-but-flower-deliveries-wont-interrupted/1331999001/

2019-06-04 02:58:15 UTC  

I've never seen so many dumb people on all sides of an argument

2019-06-04 03:02:46 UTC  

"Despite being only 12% of the population of Middle Earth..."

2019-06-04 03:03:24 UTC  

eh I don't care, even though I'm a big Tolkienite I have no hype for this show

2019-06-04 03:04:46 UTC  

There's really no reason to pay attention to anything after Return of the King

2019-06-04 03:04:50 UTC  

for movies

2019-06-04 03:05:00 UTC  

and other than that you have the books and assorted notes. Done and done
