Prison Life is Too Good!

[QUOTE="3-Legged_Man"][QUOTE="GTALoco"]I don't think you understand how terrible prison life is. I would choose being homeless over being in prison any day.MrGeezer

Ever been to prison?

And now you're NOT homeless.

How, pray tell, did that happen?

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"]

[QUOTE="3-Legged_Man"] Like I just told Geezer, I've been homeless. And because of that, I'd switch around what you just said! :lol: I'd rather be in jail than be homeless ever again! It sucked! Really bad!3-Legged_Man

Ever been to prison?

I'm still wanting to hear about HOW you went from being homeless to not-homeless. Because you're claiming that once you're homeless, you can't better yourself and you've got nowhere left to go. Yet you WERE homeless and now you are NOT.

So I think that warrants further questioning. I don't doubt that being homeless sucked. But you're not homeless any more. YOU have personal experience here. HOW did you stop being homeless. How LONG did it take for you to stop being homeless? What happened? Please elaborate. I don't normally like to pry into people's personal lives, but you brought this up and it might be relevant to the discussion.

And now you're NOT homeless.

So you stopped being homeless by relying on your connections?

Just out of curiosity, how LONG were you homeless?

I think a person that has commited a crime should not live better than a homeless person. What is your position on this topic?

Hey there fellas, I was IN prison for about 2 years for assault. And for you people saying it's better than being homeless. Just because you know someone who had an easy ride doesn't mean it's always that way. I would know, that time was a wasted part of my life. I wasn't even human there. You've also gottenwound up in the argument of homeless vs. prison that you forgot about the actual subject of the topic. And to address that: No.

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"][QUOTE="3-Legged_Man"] No but my brother has been. He's the one who told me the real deal. It's not anal rape and getting shanked all day. You guys watch too much TV. :lol:3-Legged_Man

And a lot of people in prison also have little support, and their chances are slim. I suspect that this is at least part of the reason why so many prisoners end up right back in prison.

So yes, prison sucks.

Yes, being homeless also sucks.

Is there any reason why this has to be a contest, to see which is worse? Prison isn't a cakewalk, and neither is being homeless (presumably). You don't want to be homeless OR in prison. But I fail to see a necessary connection whereby one SHOULD be worse than the other. Just because homeless people aren't prisoners, does that mean that we should take extra-special care of them in order to make them happy? No. They are free men. And just because some homeless people may be more miserable than some prisoners, does that mean that we should go to great steps to make the lives of prisoners more miserable? No. They lost their freedom and are in the custody of the government, and it's the government's responsibility to treat them humanely.

Prison and homelessness are two completely different animals. And if the homeless man thinks that being in prison is really that much better than being homeless, the homeless man is free to intentionally commit a felony so that he goes to prison. Voila, he just bettered his life.

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"][QUOTE="3-Legged_Man"] I didn't say you couldn't, I said chances are slim, and they are.I was fortunate that my mother felt like helping me out. Most dudes on the street have no support at all. I'm a rare case, and I'm very grateful for it.3-Legged_Man

Nice job avoiding the topic.

Also, nice job calling the kettle black, since you've never even been to prison. You've never been to prison either. So if we're relying on personal experience here, I'm just as qualified to talk about prison life as you are.

MrGeezer

:lol: I know what prison is like because my brother went to prison!

Whatever dude. I asked you a question, and you did avoid it. Did your brother think that prison was FUN? We have someone HERE who has ACTUALLY been to prison, and he says that it freaking sucks.

So who am I to believe? Frankly, I'd be more inclined to believe you BOTH. YOU say that being homeless sucks. I'm inclined to believe you. HE says that being in prison sucks. And I am inclined to believe HIM. Because unlike YOU, he was ACTUALLY in prison.

Again, the real question (which you DID avoid) is what the HELL one has to do with the other. Yes, in my experience, people who have been to prison generally tend to tell me that prison sucks. Yes, in my opinion, people who have been (or ARE) homeless tend to tell me that being homeless sucks. So WHAT makes this a freaking contest between prison and homelesness? HOW does the suckiness of one have ANYTHING to do with the suckiness of the other? WHAT is the fundamental connection between homelessness and prison, that makes you think that EITHER group should suffer more OR LESS?
