Lev- Entire population as strictly American or the world? Cause... Japan, well it's ... popular there... really-really-really popular. :X stomach-cringing sort of popular.
Not to go off topic but it's a pretty big issue with prisons eating up tax dollars harboring criminals that should of been fried on spot. Richard Ramiez is a perfect example of this -- the sick sob sits on the deal row waiting for appeals. His last one was in 06.
Let's face it, with the current justice system we lose either way. The only real solution would be to discrease the crime rate, however today we live in a quite demanding time that has an ever-increasing population. I seriously think they should turn an island into a prison and dump the most vile of people there and let them sort eachother out. This concept was tried before with australia back in the 17th century, and failed horribly.
Of course it's cheaper to just drop a chip in criminals skulls (seeing you can't do surgery to remove it without dying due to lack of proper equipment/stertile workspace) track em by statelite and if they try to get off the island, well send a squad after them! It's not the most moral way of dealing with the worst of people, but since when should murders and rapist be treated like human...?
Edit- and with how the media and world is today it doesn't help letting your daughter (By daughter i mean younger than 16) wear thongs and dressing up like the chicks from MTV. It's one thing that's annoyed me for ages. I begin to wonder what hell is the matter with the parents. Popular or not, children shouldn't be dressed like that. I swear nowadays people don't have any freakin morals.
Edit2- >.<;! Seriously. They don't need to look "sexy" they just need to look like a kid. Cute is fine but trust me, hot pants and skimpy shirts on a 12 year old is NOT cute!
Edit3- Sorry if I offended anyone but I stand by this. It's really annoying and just doesn't seem right to me. I have nothing against grown women or teenagers dressing like that, but kids? Something's wrong there.
