    How about we find whoever did this and throw them in jail for fraud? You know, deterring crime like the law is supposed to do?

            What leap? He said laws don’t do anything. So by that logic why try? You morons need to think before hitting that reply button. It’d be nice if people like you go back to Reddit and stop shitting up this place.

              He said laws don’t do anything

              No, he didn’t. He said laws don’t deter crime. That only means “they don’t do anything” if you think the only purpose is to deter crime, which I argue is not the case. At the very least, laws lay out punishment like fines.

              If a law criminalizing X is passed, but the amount of times X is committed doesn’t meaningfully decrease, then it has not deterred the crime. If being convicted of X results in a fine paid to the state however, then the law has served to increase the income of the state – while not deterring crime. Consider the war on drugs, for example.

              Incidentally, fuck you and your condescending attitude. Seriously, take a Xanax or something, Christ.

                No, fuck you asshole. He said words that meant something and I responded appropriately. Fucking idiots. I’m not even going to acknowledge your post since it’s an argument in bad faith.

      Dunno if this is domestic or not. Would be hard to do anything if it’s a foreign attack.
