Eh!? Oh mi god I've just had a massive row with a friend of mine Joanna. Never guess what over. Not men or best friends jealousy crap but Capital Punishment and society! wtf!? didnt see that one coming I can tell yas!
All was fine, we were having lunch talking about this and that and I dont know how the subject came about its not as if im into world politics and the youths of today lmao! but somehow thats the subject we got into. I said if the prisons were tougher and things not so slack there wouldnt be so many crimes. Theres more killings etc these days than there were. Things are to leniant.
She got all funny about it and said that that was my working class attitude and then started questioning me on whether prisons were for punishment or for education or both or what!?. Well I be damned im a working class citizen and there was me thinking I was middle or upper class! LOL ;-0
Well im just a part time bar worker but my father earns quite good money and is quite a high up business dude. So im not sure. I am working class by the job I do and I dont have all that much money but my dad does so thats why I thought I could be middle class, not that I care as such was just a thought as my friend flung that one at me.
But if I had done something wrong and got caught I wouldnt be scared of the prison itself as these days you get nice meals, get a tv have game rooms and allsorts. Id only be afraid of the other inmates. Years ago Id have been scared of the prison itself aswell being locked in a room of nothing and crap food. So surely its to do with things being easier now and the punishment not so bad!
She also said maybe some people who do crimes dont agree that it is a crime. maybe they dont realise. I said well thats funny how they do burglaries etc when noone is around and sure run when the cops come IF THEY DONT KNOW THEY ARE DOING A CRIME.
I dont know how on earth we got into that. It just came from nowhere. There was a bit of tension by the time we departed. What a silly thing to end up having a bit of a row over. Cant believe it.
I guess she was seeing me as ignorant if i see the solutions so easy but to me it is that simple?
Guess Il call her in a few days if she doesnt call me, Id hate to not know a friend of five years over bloody capital punishment for gawds sakes!
