Why? Because if it doesn't .....
you'll have to admit you're an idiot.
Sorry.
I reject your asinine assertion and demand.
You will have to convince me [of my own idiocy]
with a lot more.....than simply your masterly skill, of personal persuasion.

It not a new concept and it's being tried many times.
Yet none of the data shows mandatory sentencing ever reducing crime. None.
That argument [without any supporting substantive evidence] is pure B.S. talking.
What you are claiming, ....is an offense against logical thinking and open reasoning.
You claim that..... 'data shows' that if you accomplish 1/, then 2/
will occur........
1/ Removing criminals from a society [by imprisonment],
2/ will NOT result in a reduction in the crime rates, in that society.I call total, illogical, B.S.
And please, don't present me with a link to a 57 page LEFTIST academic 'study'....'proving' that the removal of criminals from a society, is the cause of more crime, in a society.
Dear John Smith.....
This is a debating forum.......if you wish to convince me,
then please present your own LOGICAL argument,
as to why YOU BELIEVE, that removing criminals from a society,
WILL NOT 'ever reduce crime'.

All it does it severely impact the lower socio ecominic section of our society.
Present me with an LOGICAL argument [not a 'study'] to support that particular assertion.
