Plenty of people spend short amounts of time in gaol because they can't pay a fine.....
if whatever law they broke is worth losing the right to vote over,..  why not take that away from those who can afford the fine as well?

If you can't afford the fine, don't do the crime.

You should be happy your friend lives in a democratic society where people get fined for breaking stuff, instead of thrown directly into a cesspit.

Everyone fucks up sometimes, and you have to pay for that, but there is a limit to how many times you deserve to be kicked in the balls for it...

And if you fuck up within sight of an election, you pay for it with your vote as well as your freedom.

Gaol isn't one big happy slumber party... don't underestimate the rights to freedom and privacy.

You're kidding?!?  My travel agent lied to me - I'm cancelling my trip to fucking Wolston Correctional Centre then.

All Hail Fritz!  King of Bullshit Hyperbole!!  :lol:

You can't seem to come up with a coherent right-wing argument without Fadey, Nate, SG or Perti around to write it for you, can you?  If you're going to insult people who hold views different to your own, the least you can do is try to appear literate while you're doing it.

Back to the argument at hand - there is something seriously fucking wrong with you if you consider someone's right to pay TV on a par with their right to vote.  :|

I have two very simple questions for you, which hopefully you can answer without spewing forth more excruciating hyperbole:  If a prisoner's right to vote is stripped from them, a) How does that benefit the community?  and b) How does it teach the prisoner that crime is wrong?

I need the hyperbole to get through some peoples thick fucking heads. As for my argument, I frankly don't give a shit about the grammar. If that's an issue, god help you if something really bad happens in your life. Secondly, your perceived view on my argument without other people writing it, is in fact, just that, your perceived view and does not really warrant a discussion.

In answer to your questions:

1) it shows the community that people who are locked up have their rights restricted. It gives another deterrant to people committing crimminal acts, or at the very least does not add to it.
2) It shows to them, that by committing crime you have your rights restricted.

I feel like I am at ABC Learning centre explaining shit to 4 year olds.  :|

it could be argued that someone who breaks laws is unfit to make them.

You've just described most of our politicians.  :-P
