As a non American, what is the concept of for profit prisons?

I won’t argue about the police brutality because it exists, but the problem is deeper than that. When the law can’t stop you from stealing, nothing can!

Stealing techniques are too elaborate these days, literally 10 minutes in the streets is enough for your bike to disappear

Because sanctions are extremely light here in France. On the news recently a Doctor got beaten bloody, and the aggressor walked out free.

In France self defense is frowned upon by authorities sadly.

If they really wanna do Paris a service they should start by dealing with all the pickpockets and bike thief first. My girlfriend has had 4 bikes stolen so far.

Souce: I live in Paris

How about we instead respect each other’s beliefs and live happy?

Respecting each other can do great stuff and it won’t prevent your from doing science.

Burning the American flag is a different ordeal. When you invade their country in the name of “freedom” don’t expect love and rose.

Imagine the reverse, Iraq invading the US over fake claims of “chemical weapons” and imposing their political regime and destroying your whole way of life, imposing the Shariah Law (just like the US imposed their view of freedom). Would you still hold the same views? I think not.

Is it freedom of speech to deliberately provoke an entire religion just because it is your “right”?

It is my freedom to call you all kind of horrible names and slurs, does it mean I have to do it?

They go and cry about muslim being intolerant yet they go and burn their sacred book which is considered the holiest thing for them.

Am I the only one seeing the problem here?
