Maybe he doesn't bother reading the Herald.

I suspect he's an Avid Guardian Reader....

I remember when Jeremy Corbyn was touting Venezuala as a proof of the Success of Socialism...

Unfortunately local supporters can't see the link between those socialists and the ones making the same promises here.

I must admit the whole concept that "the system" should pay for your shit no matter how productive you are is really, really attractive, and if it weren't for the fact that it's so obviously an unsustainable crock of shit I'd be first in the queue.

It takes a spectacular level of incompetence to take a country with the largest proven oil reserves in the world and fuck it up completely... but then there's socialism.

I can hear the hordes of dickheads rushing to claim "but that wasn't real socialism!". Because being a leftard means never having to say "yeah, we fucked another country up".

The funniest part was, before it descended into Chaos - all of them were pointing to it as a shining example of Socialism... Rats always find a way to jump from a sinking ship...

I don't think so, i seen it being held up by the oldies and mashies and so forth as the shining example of how great it was because it existed without the without interference of the jew/NWO/shapeshifting lizard cartel of bankers.

Did you miss the bit about their oil reserves attracting endless interference from foreign powers.

Maybe if they were left the fuck alone instead of facing manipulation by external forces things might be different.

Socialism dindu nuffin'

[Katman]

And weigh them against all the cases where they haven't - I'm not saying the Justice system is perfect - but for the most part, it does work - and this rhetoric of 'it's completely broken' is both unhelpful and dangerous.

8 months home detention.

I called them and they came!

Maduro must be allowed to complete the Glorious Peoples Revolution until everybody is either dead or gone. Only then will true ideological purity be achieved.

Actually... inequality levels have gone down over the past decade in Venezuela... now they're ALL looking hungrily at dogs. Plus child mortality rates from starvation have plummeted since it became illegal to record child deaths from starvation as child deaths from starvation. Another triumph of socialism!

Don't forget the 100 hours of community work (which he will never do) and the $3000 he has to pay to the victim (probably at $15 a week) which she will never see.

Do you take him out back and shoot him (either literally or metaphorically) or do you grant some form of leniency owing to it being (from all we know) a once off, isolated event?



In this case - yeah, the punishment does seem rather light - but consider the flipside - if we say first time offenders should get the book thrown at them, then I'm sure you (or someone similar) would find a case of some poor kid who committed a crime with a specific set of circumstances, but got an overly harsh sentance.

Point is - it's hard to come up with Principals and Policies that work for every situation, in theory that is why we have judges, to help with the Fringe cases - but they too are human and prone to error.

Does all that - justify tearing it down and replacing it with?

Dude, by the time you're in your 50's you've had plenty of time to learn the limits of society's acceptance.

Fuck him, chop his cock off.

So, if you want to make no allowances for circumstances - why was the Justice system wrong to charge the Lady in the other case?

In your first case: The system is wrong because it didn't take the circumstances into account.
In this case: The system is wrong because it took circumstances too much into account.

Remember when he said just because the guy who had plead guilty for another sexual assault the police should have known he wasn't guilty.

Fuck me, you need everything spelled out for you, don't you?
gave a false confession which the police should have been suspicious of

or how Scott Watson Was innocent
David Bain was innocent
Steven Wallace wasn't putting a police officers life in danger by attempting to attack him with a softball bat.
Mark Lundy was innocent

Talking to my mum who turned 79 today. She tells me that the tooth fairy will get another term due to her fairy dust personality but the following three years will be hard on them as they fail to perform.
