And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you should be careful with joking statements about prison overpopulation, because sooner or latter some dumb-fuck is liable to take them seriously.

What to do with the prisoners?
There are so many minefields to clean up around the world and so few metal detectors...

It would be watched, it could either save tax payers some money or at least the money would be going to something more important. Like educating kids so we dont have stupid fucks like the immensley stupid bastards on "Are you smarter than a 5th Grader"

Actually quote from an episode
"There 5262 feet in a yard!"
There is a problem somewhere. And the prison over crowding isn't a joke. Look at the percentage incarcerated in the prison systems while reforms that are supposed to be enacted either get shot down or fail to a great degree. This is one possible solution that would work. Give your input.

Another thing is the things that are illegal that really serve no danger to general society. Case in point: Marijuana. Really no more harmful that cigarettes and a lot less harmful than drinking. Add to that you can get the desired effects through ingestion, whereas it does not work so well with tobacco. Pot heads are no problem. They sit on a couch and eat cheetos and talk about the colors. A couple of them might go crazy, but going crazy happens with alot of things.

Case in point: Prostitution. Why this is illegal I havn't the time nor the care to look up, but I can speculate it has to do with STDs and such. Upon the point you get an STD it is your duty to inform any future and past partners. It's your choice to pay for sex, and if you get HPV or the clap, well then you spun the wheel and lost. Of course this post will be lost on you, as you cannot respect jokes, or other peoples arguments, points, and opinions., when I respect yours. I really do. I love a good debate. Its like push ups for the brain.
