What a silly comment.. Your comment about criminal history is silly - the same comment holds true for someone with no criminal record or a career criminal. Fyi, this has been studied with respect to rape very deeply. Turns out the majority of rapes are committed by a small pct of men who rape and sexually assault hundreds of women across their lives. Some are committed by men who will only commit one rape in their lives, usually a form of date rape vs. 'stranger rape' which is much more common from a predator. So, contrary to your breezy BS, there is all kinds of valid data out there about criminal history and crime. Do you know how busy social scientists are in jails, studying crime? Of course, you are just ignorant of it, but run your banal speculations by us all for what reason I do not know.

Even sillier? Speaking to me as though I'm not for punishing criminals. Nothing in my commentary says that. I've read Frankl, have you? Doubt it, cuz most people who've read him are much less pompous than you. Your comment is mere posing and hyperbole. You don't actually know a damn thing about any of this, lol. Yet you babble.

btw: Of course I read Frankl (my comment comes from The Unconscious God. Excuse me if I find Frankl's insight so essential. That insight is, imo, what is likely lacking in each of those who earn prison. The point is, without fixing that (who can?) you are correct we will need more prisons. Perhaps the social scientist can tell us how they can be made less cruel.
