You have more prisoners than BOTH China and Russia COMBINED, but with only 1/6th of their population.  Nowhere else in the world would this minor be arrested for something he said to a company employee over a stupid game program.  America destroys the lives of people over absolutely nothing.  You are creating your own future problems as these people grow up, unable to get decent employment because of their criminal background and screwed up mentality after having served extended prison terms over B.S. like this.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Master Shake]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2009 3:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Teen Threatens Suicide Over 'World of Warcraft,' Gets Arrested]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/05/teen-threatens-suicide-over-world-of-warcraft-gets-arrested/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/05/teen-threatens-suicide-over-world-of-warcraft-gets-arrested/</guid><description><![CDATA[There are more people in jail in the US because we only execute for murder.  China lacks long term prison terms and has 47 executable crimes including non payment of taxes, smuggling, and corruption.  Just to give you an idea, Amnesty International recorded 2,500 executions in China in 2001 alone.  There have been a little over 1,100 executions in the USA since 1977.  Dont argue that China is better than the US when it comes to not screwing up juveniles lives.  Which screws up a kid more? Jail time or a bullet to the brain?  ..

The US has 5% of the world's population, but 25% of the world's prison population.  Of those charged with a felony in America, 97% are either found guilty, or compelled to plead guilty.  Not because 97% are actually guilty, but because they lack the tens of thousands of dollars necessary to wage a proper legal defense.  In Stalin's "Reign of Terror" the world was appalled by a 98% conviction rate.  The US is teetering on the brink of being an outright police state, and the ONLY reason you don't see it is because you haven't lived anywhere else in the civilized world.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Master Shake]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2009 2:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Teen Threatens Suicide Over 'World of Warcraft,' Gets Arrested]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/05/teen-threatens-suicide-over-world-of-warcraft-gets-arrested/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/05/teen-threatens-suicide-over-world-of-warcraft-gets-arrested/</guid><description><![CDATA[The kid got charged with a misdemeanor.

Does that make ANY impression on you?  Russia hasn't executed ANYONE in over a decade.  I've lived in China for several months at a time, and you are in no danger there unless you are either a lowlife thief, or a political enemy.  As for it being a "misdemeanor" - how naive ARE you?!  This is NOT going to be a fine like a traffic ticket! Sheesh!  Spend a day in your local Superior Court listening to cases.  People are sentenced to months and years in jail for NOTHING.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LISTEN UP!]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2009 11:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Teen Threatens Suicide Over 'World of Warcraft,' Gets Arrested]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/05/teen-threatens-suicide-over-world-of-warcraft-gets-arrested/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/05/teen-threatens-suicide-over-world-of-warcraft-gets-arrested/</guid><description><![CDATA[Arrested for something this ridiculously silly? I hate to think of what would happen if he did something really serious, like sneeze in school ASSembly during the Pledge of Allegience. That's probably considered a felony under the (If you don't agree with the powers that be you're not a) Patriot Act. I could joke that next thing I'd expect is for some poor schnook in New York to get busted for dozing off while riding the subway, but it's no joke - it's actually happened to a number of poor souls over there!<br><br>When you've got more folks in jail than China (which has more than 4 times our population and is nobody's idea of a "free" country), there's a BIG problem here. Perhaps Freedom House should downgrade the USA from "free" to "partly free". Any country where you can get arrested for sub-trivial "offenses", and wind up smeared for life, can hardly be called fully "free".]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[grossness54]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 5th 2009 10:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Teen Threatens Suicide Over 'World of Warcraft,' Gets Arrested]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/05/teen-threatens-suicide-over-world-of-warcraft-gets-arrested/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/05/teen-threatens-suicide-over-world-of-warcraft-gets-arrested/</guid><description><![CDATA[If they had not called the cops and the kid had killed himself the parents would have sued.
