No need to be so negative. Today is worse than yesterday but better than tomorrow.

What legal rights do you have in terms of quarantining someone? Surely they could say it was a form of kidnapping?

He was 13... When a 13 year old shoots someone in the face the answer isn't to send them to an adult prison for the rest of their life, and to quote the judge "to make an example out of you". There's something seriously wrong with your society if 13 year olds are shooting people in the face. Maybe instead of just blaming the 13 year old kid we should actually look at the problem, and instead of just throwing the kids life away try and help them and rehabilitate them?

It's a miracle that prison seemed to have semi-worked here, because we have the data and we know that criminal justice systems that treat people like this have much higher recidivism rates than countries that try to approach it from a rehabilitation angle.

I'm not saying rehabilitation works all of the time at this stage, we certainly have a very very long way to go until we're close to that. But it works better, and no one is saying the kid should have just been released. If they cannot be rehabilitated then yeah maybe the answer is to keep them imprisoned for a long time or life, but it's not to throw them into an adult prison which will almost always make them worse...

I'm not saying your game is bad, but it is bad, it doesn't have any of what makes a game good, here's a list of what factually makes a good game:

Dubstep

Bloom

Heavy DOF

HD textures

First person

Snipers

Noscopes

360 noscopes

A ranking system

Prestige mode

Your game has none of these ;_;

I think there's a large confirmation bias. Whenever you see a rich bratty kid you think "probably because they're rich", but whenever you see a poor bratty kid, you just think "what an asshole". I'm sure there's probably some bias towards it, but it's because of poor parenting, not because of the money.

Maybe someone is bratty and grew up rich, but had their parents done a poor job of raising them if they were poor, it could've just manifested as some other negative personality trait like envy.
