  • A sad state of affairs.

  • amidst all this arguing I have to interject, american's don't spell "jail" with a "g" Fry -.-

  • @stfunoob707

    ''G for Gaol, English spelling of course.'' Quote by Stephen Fry, from this video at about 00:50 into the video.

    The English spelling of ''Jail'' is ''Gaol'' but it is considered old English and seldom used in the modern day.

  • @stfunoob707 You've just proven how dumb you are.

  • @stfunoob707 If your going to drop words like 'interject' at least try and get your grammar correct.

  • @keaney123321 aren't you just a ray of sunshine

  • @Eschewered

    According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) 2,292,133 adults were incarcerated in U.S. federal and state prisons, and county jails at year-end 2009 — about 1% of adults in the U.S. resident population.

    Source : US Department of Justice, Office of Justice Program, Bureau of Justice Statistics.

    Multiple links have been provided in the video description, with a link to the entire part 3 of this episode. I have not mislead any one, they were talking about America (USA).

  • @Eschewered

    Clive Anderson makes mention of England/UK and Steven Fry responds, but because i didn't include that 8 second clip, in no way means that i am ''Misleading'' or ''Scum''. I made a video about the 'American prison population' and the terrorfying statistics that are included.

    You claimed that the stats are in fact about the U.K and that i was misleading people by editing the video to make it about America. I did not do that. That was a lie; by you. I have not lied. Read the title

  • @Eschewered,

    No, it's not from the U.K, nor is it implemented in the UK. In 2004, 26 States and the Federal Government had laws which satisfy the general criteria for designation as "three strikes" Which takes it's name from Baseball, an American sport, not followed by the general bio-mass of the UK.

    However in April 2010, the House of Commons aproved a bill, to make ''illegal file sharing'' have a penalty of ''Internet Service Interruption'' after ''three strikes'' of copyright infringment.

  • ... and you lose your ability to vote if you've been to jail too... so that's another thing that makes the 'more african american 17 year olds in jail than in college' frightening.

  • @eleriel Blacks and hispanics commit 98 percent of shootings in NYC. The police mostly respond to calls by honest blacks and hispanics, who are preyed on by criminal blacks and hispanics. Witnesses against the blacks and hispanics are mostly honest blacks and hispanics. The legal system is supposed to lock up the criminals, so honest people don't have to lock themselves in. The remarks on slavery are wrong. Prisoners can refuse work. Work is part of preparing for life after jail.

  • And they are crying for socialism-fascism when the government want to push for health care for all, by mandating private insurance company...

  • @hydropropop you have me confused with that fellow in the mirror. Project much?

  • @hydropropop So your theory is that when the criminals are locked up, the honest people should commit more crimes to make up for it?

    The facts are, as more are locked up, the crime rate goes down.

  • No wonder they want so many people locked up, its legal salve labour...American probably dont have a clue about the business side of jail?

  • totally agree with you the majority of people in supposed 'free countries' haven't got a clue how fine the line between freedom and incarceration actually is. This is mass entrapment with total prejudice and contempt for the poor and less educated people. The same people that are let down generation after generation by failed education systems. According to the American Bar Association, there were 1,143,358 resident and active attorneys in the United States in 2006.

    Hmm Demand then supply ?

  • @aViableNinja BAR = "BRITISH Accreditation REGIStry". Regis means Royal & all lawyers are servants of the Crown of England, of which America is a Colony. The rulers of America, political &Corporate come from the same families that have ruled Europe since the Dark Ages. Their Genealogies are a matter or record. "Laws" aren't for Public Safety, they're for social control of the workforce. Labor,Taxes,Soldiers & Consumption: That's all the workers are to the ruling class. Google Zeitgeist Addendum.

  • @kingofthebrittains Oh yes, I am sure that Obama, Reagan, Grant, and Clinton came from the same family.

  • @DonMeaker Don't be daft. I said familieS (that S on the end means it's PLURAL) - Stop being simple and go do the research like I did. Educate yourself mate, you sound like a fool with that kind of comment.

  • @kingofthebrittains Certainly Clinton had 5 different fathers or step fathers. Which would you have him inheriting his mantle from? How about Reagan, who's father was a drunk? how about Obama, who's father was from Kenya? The US is unusual in that people can succeed despite their family. By contrast, the rest of the Anglosphere still follows the royal heresy.

  • @DonMeaker In the US the bloodlines are less direct, but go back far enough in the Clinton & Rodham families & you will find the ties. As for Obama, he's probably fresh blood, adopted for his usefulness as a "Race Card" since the Old, White, Money men have recently come under scrutiny & whites are now only 50% of the population. Royals have used commoners successfully in the past to do their bidding. No matter, this whole western paradigm has failed us. Read Culturequake by Chuck Burr.

  • @kingofthebrittains you tube search: " 12 yr Girl Discovers ALL U.S. Presidents (except one) related to one British King "...

  • @DonMeaker please youtube search " 12 yr Girl Discovers ALL U.S. Presidents (except one) related to one British King "...

  • @JonathanSeagullUtube I guess the Brits are beginning to figure out why it is a good thing that we have out thugs locked up.

  • @DonMeaker thanks for the direction to wwwculturequakeorg very good blog there !!!

  • @JonathanSeagullUtube Go back far enough EVERYONE is related to someone royal, someone famous, someone important. Unless your family is full of inbreds...

  • @Eschewered Actually the chances of being inbred raises exponentially IF your family is ultra rich... the 'RICHER' you are, the GREATER the chance of INBREEDING!

  • @madzndean Oh yes we do. It is not slave labor. The inmates are paid for their work, and some of the money goes to a "victims' fund". No inmate is required to work, but quite a lot of them want things (say cigarettes) besides their 3 hots and a cot. Working is a way for them to do it. In the event that an inmate gets out, he can show his potential employer his work record in prison. Of course the fellows who don't have a work record, perhaps hav a disadvantage to getting a job.

  • i always believe that the glass is half full, so lets look at the bright side of this:

    we still lead the world in at least one category!!!

    we're number one, we're number one... beat that china!
