Just a thought but why not take all of the tax money that goes into prisons and spend it on mental health treatment? They could even privatize the idea so that the corporations get their cut.

yes we had a long winter here in the uk, but all of a sudden its got hot and I am working like mad getting stuff out, out corn and beans in with squashes today, doing the 3 sisters for the first time, lots of other stuff coming on too
Surfpirate replies on May 26, 2018:
The 3 sisters are a winner and pretty easy to grow, the problem we have in Canada is that the Raccoons eat the corn just before it is ready to harvest and of course the deer just love to eat those beans but the squash is a pretty good defense because it deters the deer.

Surfpirate replies on May 26, 2018:
@McVinegar If you criminal behavior as aberrant behavior then it would make sense to correct the behavior rather than merely punish in an eye for an eye manner. The roots of criminal behavior are either learned or the result of a mental disorder, the mental disorder can be treated in most cases and the learned behavior can be unlearned but punishment as a solution in and of itself has been shown to be ineffective. Environmental causes of criminality should also be addressed as a root cause because it makes little sense to lock up petty criminals who steal a crust of bread when corporate greed lead to the citizen being hungry in the first place. A banker who breaks the law and steals from his clients gets only a slap on the wrist fine that amounts to no more than a commission on ill gotten gains but a poor man who steals a candy bar gets two years behind bars or longer if he has been caught before. None of this makes any sense but that's biblical morals for you, very Abrahamic.

Surfpirate replies on May 25, 2018:
Although this may be a cultural problem more than an age problem. I grew up in Toronto, in English Canada, the legal drinking age was 18 and everyone drank by the time they were 16 but we tended to overindulge for the first few years because we felt we were tasting forbidden fruit. My wife grew up in Montreal, in French Canada, the legal drinking age is also 18 but wine was served at dinner for children as young as 8, usually with a little water in it, so alcohol was no big deal. Montrealers get drunk the same as everyone else, it's a great party town but there are fewer problems with younger drinkers compared to Toronto. So maybe it isn't about age but about upbringing.

It is our sanctuary and has always been a neutral zone for the family, whatever the issues may be that are going on, they get left at the gate or you can just turn around and go home. No TV either but lots of old games to play if the weather turns rainy.

Do they have a welfare state, what is their health care system like, is there widespread government corruption, what is the general standard of living, is the water safe, is there malaria, what is the climate like, how bad is crime? Etc etc.....

@Karnaph I do feel bad for the Israeli people but not at all for the Israeli government who could have signed off on those old wars long ago, signed up for the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty and stopped bombing its neighbours yesterday. Israel is a rogue state, just like India, Pakistan and North Korea but what is hard to understand is why it would want to be a rogue state when it clearly doesn't have to be. You're living in Israel, maybe you can be that positive change instead of enabling your country's Zionist agenda.

Speaking of being disingenuous, that was a lovely bit of spin. Thanks for sharing, heard it all before and don't need to hear the official story again. Israel has no business in Syria anymore than Syria has any business in Israel. The 'civil war' as it is being called is a result of Israeli and American interference in Syria and Iraq, this is not a war that simply developed out of thin air, that rarely happens and this situation is no different. As for Israel never threatening anyone with their nuclear weapons, just having nuclear weapons is a threat, that's the whole point of weapons of mass destruction. Being coy about having them is just the icing on the cake and fools no one. Pakistan and India are also not signatories to the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty and North Korea pulled out of the treaty, if it is just a piece of paper then sign on to it for the sake of global security or be branded a rogue state. Building a straw man argument around what Iran or Syria might do with a nuclear weapon should it ever get its hands on one is a nonstarter. If my aunt had balls she would be my uncle but she doesn't, that's why she's my aunt. Where a global nuclear war starts is hardly a matter of interest once it gets started you can't stop it so the end result is the same, regardless of where you are on the planet.

@walklightly The Fer de Lance is well known in South America for being aggressive and territorial. I think the same can be said for your Australian Brown Snake and the Taipans. North American Rattlesnakes tend to be quite tame by comparison, you practically have to step on them to get bitten and even then many bites have little to no venom injected.

@walklightly The Fer de Lance is well known in South America for being aggressive and territorial. I think the same can be said for your Australian Brown Snake and the Taipans. North American Rattlesnakes tend to be quite tame by comparison, you practically have to step on them to get bitten and even then many bites have little to no venom injected.

Adult: One old enough to do it.

Adultery is no longer even relevant in Canadian divorce court as grounds for a divorce.
Surfpirate replies on May 20, 2018:
@Kafir Canadians determined a long time ago that government has no place in the bedrooms of our country. Irreconcilable differences is the main reason for divorce in Canada, where someone put their prick is not an issue.

What is the best view you have ever had from your house?
LiterateHiker comments on May 20, 2018:
I grew up on a lake in Michigan, facing northwest. Glowing sunsets filled the sky with colors, reflected in the lake and flowing into our living room windows.
This fueled my love of the outdoors. As a kid, at sunset I sat on our dock with my feet in the water, dreamily watching the colors ...

I used to keep my Chris Craft in Grand Haven, MI, it is an incredible view.

A Brief History of American Torture
Stevil comments on May 9, 2018:
Wait! We Muricans always wear the white hats, and stand for truth justice and everything that's right. It's those damn immigrants that cause this kind of shit!
Surfpirate replies on May 20, 2018:
I'll be kind and say that it's the American government that is at fault but somebody had to have voted them in there in the first place.

Better a comforting lie than an inconvenient truth when it comes to ones own mortality.

@River-david if I live to then medical science has advanced to the point where I might as well hang in there and live to 1,000. ;)

Smoking cigarettes... Single dumbest thing I've ever done, and I've done some *really* dumb things in my life... But smoking is top of the chart...
Surfpirate replies on May 19, 2018:
@Shawappa44820 maybe medical marijuana could help you get off the ciggies? I quit 12 years ago and have to admit it was difficult to do. I had stopped for several years at a time before I finally quit for good and those times weren't difficult at all, so I suspect that the additives are part of the problem as the tobacco cartel tries to hang onto the market share it has left.

Well, if at first you don't succeed, skydiving might not be for you...
Surfpirate replies on May 19, 2018:
I know I guy who did that but he survived and even though he was told he would be a quadriplegic he beat that rap too and gets around just fine. The docs now pay him to be a test subject because they still can't figure out how he did it. Crazy, ex-special ops guy so who knows?

Not heroin or crack cocaine? Just tobacco? Surely a little bit of weed just to take the edge off in your teenage years, c'mon, give a dog a bone.
