This - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1215389/Abandoned-parents-betrayed-schools-young-boys-turning-criminal-gangs-protection-sense-belonging.html - is without a doubt the best and most important article printed by any British newspaper in months if not years. And Harriet Sergeant is an exceptional journalist - I have seen other items by her, and she is brave as a steel sword. But I regret to say that I foresaw every word of it before I ever started blogging, and described it in my article about the Tony Blair generation two or three years ago.

Impossible. I do not believe you.

There is no man alive who could claim, seriously, that putting criminals in jail does not lessen the number of crimes.

It must be a badly done AI.

Mister, you are drinking in the last chance saloon. One more response like this and you'll be forced to answer anonymously. I don't have to coddle your superiority complex and I won't. If you had said to [profile] inverarity68: "Do you realize that you have said that jailing people does not reduce crime? How can you justify that statement? Where is the evidence?" - nobody could have had any complaint. But to argue that someone is not human because s/he said something you find silly is despicable. As for [profile] inverarity68's fics, here is a link - http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/inverarity/ - and I suggest you read them. You might learn something.

End of the story

[profile] baduin answered with a sarcastic apology that made matters worse. He is now banned from commenting in this LJ.
