__***Hormones are the problem not time***__

rather than killing we should focus on making rehabilitation programs that actually work, for the real monsters we should invest more in mental hospitals and probably build more

k, brain is finally done maturing at around 25yrs. hormones have stablized, etc.

no, that's the brain

people can still be very agressive but it tapers off in their late 30s

im skeptical about the actual effectiveness of rehab @Frost509 from what i remember from the literature, its useless and does not work

people become more risk-averse and less likely to fight all the time

mental hispitals though, now thats good

what, u talking about just let them age out of testosterone production?
guess what, their lives are practically over by that point -- at least to the degree that it'd matter.

@wotmaniac yes they wronged society and that is thier punishment

by then, they're of no use to anybody for anything

wow, i don't feel my life is over and i'm far older than that

@wotmaniac you just hurt @SuperHeroDeluxe feelings

@Brue again, that's just for the public feelz.
or would it be better to convert them to productive members

__***SAY SORRY***__

stick then knife in all the way, say OK BOOMER

@wotmaniac of course i know

@Brue yeah as it is now i agree it doesnt really seem to help, which is why i figure we should look into ways to make it work instead of being halfassed about it like we seem to be now. it most likely can work but i dont know enough about it to make any definite statements about how it works now

@SuperHeroDeluxe true. but you've also had the opportunity to build a trajectory for your life

just by learning

no need to be outside a prison

@Frost509 the reason it does not work is the same reason those people ended up there in the first place

what makes someone not do drugs, not steal, and follow the rules of society

__***what makes someone not do drugs, not steal, and follow the rules of society***__

my life trajectory is built because i love learning so much i dedicate a minimum of 4 hours a day to it

no, the system we have now forces ppl to integrate in to anti-social gangs, and it institutionalizes them.

knowledge is free these days, you can find it, no university needed

universities are nice for networking with people you can connect with in business and employment

but, for knowledg, nope, you can do it on your own

nowadays

@SuperHeroDeluxe what i'm saying is that you enjoy the benefit of not being institutionalized in a system that socializes you in to gang culture (which is what the current prison system does)

@SuperHeroDeluxe usually you have to find it on places like here

no system puts them there

if you yo have a smartphone and a current active data connection, you're set

that is where you are wrong kiddo

@Brue who can say, good/actual parenting and an environment that doesn't encourage that type of behavior?

there are private torrent sites dedicated to learning materials

they're part of the 'information wants to be free' movement

theres a free information movement?

@Frost509 poor people and mentally ill people have kids who tend to be poor and mentally ill, smart people and sucessful people tend to have children who are smart and sucessful, this is natural
