Does anyone oppose my ideas that will show once and for all who's causing America's crime problems?

Question

My answer couldn't be more simple or foolproof...From this day forward anyone that's arrested will go into a special database that tells the following: Race, Age, Religion, Location and most important..Political affiliation or Mother and Fathers political affiliation...I furthermore intend to use this same methodology to prove beyond any doubt who is contributing to this nation, and who is taking from it...How can anyone be against getting to the bottom of this increasing ill nations problems? This system could be used globally to predict and correct the world's problems...Once patterns are noticed, they would be corrected, immediately!

Answer 1

No, how could they? Its a great idea!

Answer 2

I agree with you. The war on drugs has been a farce. I think it is foolish to believe that you can legislate morality. As long as people have the freedom to make personal choices, there will always be a market for illicit drugs. I don't use drugs, but I feel that the attitude toward drug use in this country is a little skewed. In this country too many rules are based on morals rather than reality. If drugs were legal, I still wouldn't use them. But does that give me the right to tell others how to live? Of course not. A lot of people use drugs to escape the dire circumstances of their lives. If we use the money that we spend incarcerating drug users, and put it into education, health care and other social programs, maybe fewer unhappy people would turn to drugs.

Answer 3

Even if it's not already been done (which I think it has), it would be pointless. Sure, you'd get the most likely population to commit crimes, but there would be WAY too many exceptions to the rule to get any kind of predicting power out of it. For example, let's say the most likely population to commit crimes is white females from age 20-25 from the Western United States who are Buddhist and Republican.



How would you go about enforcing anything? You can't automatically assume that all Buddhist, Republican, white females from the Western United States who are age 20-25 are criminals just because they happen to fit that profile.



And even if all of them WERE criminals, you legally can't stop people from being Republican or Buddhist or from living in the Western United States.

Answer 4

I don't have a problem with it, superdave. I just don't know how it will truly help. I think we need to start at the top - special interests, corrupt politicians (at every level of government and from both parties), etc. We make it too easy for people who have money or power to get away with things most of us wouldn't even attempt.

Answer 5

The Conservatives who started our idiot war on drugs are the people who are the most responsible for most of the criminal activity in America

If the Conservatives would just grow up, admit that they made a huge mistake and put and end to this idiotic and repressive war on drugs, you may discover that many of the violent criminal activities that the gun crazies use to justify their gun ownership would cease to exist

This idiotic war on drugs has been going on for 40+ years and although it has shown many negative results it has not shown a single positive result.

If we were so inclined any of us could still score any drugs in any amounts that we wanted to...providing that we had the cash

.So since we know what doesn't work maybe just maybe it's time to try something else

Answer 6

So you are saying you would eventually use profiling on people based on age, religion, location and race?



So, number 1, what's to stop people from just moving so you won't profile them? NOTHING.

What's to stop people from lying about their religion so you won't profile them? NOTHING

And age? That changes yearly, you know that, right?

What's to stop people from lying about their political belief's??? NOTHING



All this would do would create an larger underground market for fake ID's and birth certs.



There's another group that profiled based on religion as well... they were called Nazi's. Their story didn't end to well. You should look it up.

Answer 7

Great idea! And add in national uniforms, two minutes of hate a day & maybe no salaries just let the gov't give us what we need.

Answer 8

We already know poverty is the #1 cause.

I wouldn't object to the profile but ACLU would have a fit

Answer 9

this system was already tried and it failed tried in germany failed because the people who enforce this system are the very problem and their views of justice vary greatly from your own.

Answer 10

I'm pretty sure they're doing that already. It doesn't fix everything though.

Answer 11

People know but you are not allowed to point fingers because it is not their fault.

Answer 12

You should just use badges, it would be easier to show people.

Answer 13

We already have that. It's called deportation. Too bad liberals don't want to USE it.

Answer 14

sounds good, though they have something similar but they don't use it as a "survey of criminals"
