Criminals are actually treated like criminals in those countries.
And you're right... execution and long prison terms in very
unpleasant conditions are the penalties for crime. (Do they really
chop your hand off for stealing in some Arab countries?)

Yes, and in some countries it's the death penalty for even realtively minor
crimes. The results across the globe are by no means empirical

Seems to work in some places and not in others.

He's in Pooraka.

Saw him in the Virgin outlet with a commemorative boxed set of "Kevin Bloody
Wilson" out in Modbury.

But he was driving an Orix van so maybe he's on the move.

I'd say try Clarence Park.

Well, it's harldly that safe, but it is a police state.

Their thinking is quite logical because why would you want to
own a gun other than to kill?

Were did you learn logic?

Sounds like any other tyranny.

Thanks for showing your true side.

Japan is another extremely safe country where guns are strictly
controlled without the harsh penalties of Singapore. Education,
culture, laws etc all play a role in making a country safe. Would
Japan be just as safe if everybody owned a gun? Its possible but
hardly worth the experiment.

First and second generation Japanese in the the US have about the same
homicide rate as those in Japan.

Fella', you don't need to do experiments - you can use LOGIC (yes, the real
stuff, not the phoney stuff you allude to above) in conceptualization
(actually, you HAVE to use it, otherwise it's a "floating abstraction).

Well, it's harldly that safe, but it is a police state.

Certainly not where you learned to write.

And Japan has an almost 100% "confession" rate of people arrested. Do
you know what that is? Might want to do some homework before answering.
