Go, you merciful, forgiving Christian nation, you!
We are such a kinder, gentler people than those evil mooslims!
We only oppress, beat up, torture and kill the poors in our prisons!
BTW, reminds me of the verse in the Bobble where the guy is praising himself because "at least I'm not like all those other sinners!"
That's what all the "But Muslims are the WORST and at least we aren't them!" threads are: people pounding on their chests when they have nothing to brag about.
We incarcerate most of the prisoners jailed in the world for non-violent crimes, and yet we claim we are so goddamned fucking tolerant. Makes me so sick.

(18,186 posts)The GOOD CHRISTIAN jailers of America believe that treating human beings worse than factory animals is how you teach them how to get along in society.
When you model sociopathic, violent, hate-filled behavior (I'm talking to you, all you GOOD CHRISTIAN prison and juvie guards) and you are the authority, what are you teaching? What are you modeling?
No, guards do sick, cruel and twisted shit and teach prisoners that that's just what GOOD CHRISTIANS are supposed to do: beat down the captive, steal, lie, rape, and be corrupt. After all, that's what those GOOD CHRISTIAN guards are doing, and they're free and demand respect for these behaviors.
Everybody should act like American prison guards and what a wonderful world this would be!
