| Message | This is a step on Human Rights and we will not allow that because all humans have the right to a second chance. Besides, that's why we have prisons. After all, is conducting the same crime as the criminals, murder, a true solution to reducing crime? By the way, third-world country? |

| Message | Why don't you liberals in this nation take a step out of your sheltered lives. Besides, it's much too expensive housing prisoners. |
