I don't see the ambiguity of this, Lody. Over half the people in that prison hadn't even been convicted of anything, and were simply awaiting trial. And let's not even kid ourselves into thinking every single person who was convicted was actually guilty of anything.
Honduras has been the site of repeated human rights violations due to overcrowding and malnutrition, and this is the third major prison fire in a decade. After the second, Geneva took them to task for not implementing changes to prevent a third, and now here we are. These are human beings, not animals, proven by the fact it was an inmate who allegedly risked his life to save others where the guard fled. More importantly, our money is going into that county in the form of aid. I say we cut their funding until they get their act together. I don't think that's asking too much. Reread the part about 57% of the inmates having not been convicted of anything. |

This reminds me of one of the best arguments Ive ever witnessed. My wife and her sister arguing with their moms boyfriend about humans being animals.
Him: "We're humans, NOT animals!" Them: "Humans ARE animals!" Two hours later it turns into this: Him: "We're not animals, we're humans!" Them: "Youre a fucking idiot!" |

Well I'm outraged that our money is going there, but not because of the human rights violations. Because we shouldn't be spending ourselves into damn debt and giving money away. The way Honduras governs itself is it's own damn business. Still, guilty or not. That's a hell of a way to go. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Yeah, the money we throw around to other countries pisses me off too, and Ill go one step further and say REGARDLESS of circumstance.
And I would wish that on MANY people in this country. All the murderers, rapists, child molesters. They all deserve the worst. Last edited by bigvig; 02-19-2012 at 11:22 PM.. |
