How accurate are these data?

Really, after what we saw in the election, there is a clear deviation from reality in these polls and it anything, most polls are taken by liberals for pro-liberal arguments.

So I would take that graph with a grain of salt.

If the country is becoming more right wing, which it has thanks to Trump, then the opposite would be true.

Well that's true. I wish we had the death penalty in Australia.

Interesting post Wolverine and thanks for the great history lesson from michigan. Enjoyed the perspective.

I have one about Tasmania in Australia, but that is another conversation.

As someone once told me on these forums. It is the United STATES of America, not the United States of AMERICA.

So Michigan certainly does have a valid part to play in this debate.

You tend to imply convicted felons are imprisoned for a duration that is excessive.

In Australia, we have the opposite problem.

A lot of serious crime is commited by persons with previous jail time.

So either they are not being imprisoned long enough or they arenjust learning their craft in prison.

This is particularly truw when it comes to crimes of a sexual nature.
