What is Wrong with Us: Venting on the Human Race Part 2

I am having issues today with the problem of crime. I for one think that we have too much crime and not enough punishments. It is like our society in a way. People raise their kids with not enough discipline. They do not tell them what they are doing is wrong or punish them for behaving badly. They just politely tell them not to do it and hope that it works, but just shrug if it does not, like there is nothing else they can do. I have children, I do discipline them and they know the difference between right and wrong. Wake up people, your kids are not perfect, NO ONE IS. You have to make sure they are aware of what to not do in life. People do not want to have to deal with your bratty children. Then they grow up to be criminals, and it’s all because you just let them get away with everything, not telling them NO. Now our country has so much crime, we barely have enough room for all the inmates. I think we should make punishments harsher. Make life in prison not so nice. Oh but that would be inhumane you say. Is it not inhumane to expect the rest of us to live in fear of being shot, or robbed, or raped? I think it is. I say we send the message that if you want to do a crime you will pay the price, and a high price. Not death, but just a real crappy life behind bars or in a very inhospitable environment.
