Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Look dude, its very simple. Putting people in prison is limiting their rights. Therefore, punishing criminals requires limiting their rights to some extent. You don't need multiple paragraphs, and you certainly don't need 5 pages.

Look dude, it's very simple: some rights of criminals need to be restricted for practical reasons. Most don't, and those that don't shouldn't be.

Exactly, that's what I'm saying.

Ok good. I don't think anyone is really arguing otherwise except for the most hardcore anarchists, who seem like generally unreasonable people. (Like, you're not going to stop anyone from doing whatever they want? What if what they want to do is create a government that enforces its will on everyone?)

Let's say you're correct: ( ignoring that prison isn't a right, but a punishment invocable by breaking law) that's the only right that should be limited. It doesn't justify removing any other right. Do you agree with that?

[–] sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Yes, although I think imprisoning someone is limiting more than just one right. And if you don't count restrictions like not being able drive as a right being limited, then I would agree.
