FTFA A new gravel football field was recently completed.

Damn man, we played football on shards of glass at our park.

Stockholm Syndrome.

Stockholm Syndrome.

No. They know they have it made. Hell, if I came from where they are from, I wouldn't want to leave either.

I guess they've grown fond of living in a penile colonie.

If I were staying in a tropical paradise, even in prison, I'd rather stay there than move to ADX Florence.

They'll be eaten alive in an American SuperMax.

They should just escape like these guys

Winktologist: They'll be eaten alive in an American SuperMax.

Prisoners are only allowed out of their cell for an hour a day and kept in almost constant isolation, and are never allowed to interact w/ other prisoners.

You said 'penile'

As President Barack Obama's deadline to close Guantánamo looms, some occupants of the notorious detention centre would rather prolong their stay than be sent to maximum security prisons on the US mainland, according to camp officials.


But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.

Since when do they get a vote?

Who wouldn't want to hang out and listen to Twisted Sister all day long?

WTFDYW: You said 'penile'

And I said COLONie.

Want to make something of it?


... it's Sunday night, the day after Halloween, and the first day after Daylight Savings time has ended. I understand if you're all very slow right now, so I won't write an angry post damning you all for not dying from fits of hysterics cause by my very high-brow sense of humor.

CheddarPants: Who wouldn't want to hang out and listen to Twisted Sister all day long?

I understand they're very good about folding and fluffing your brain after it's been washed.

Nice, clean brain and pure soul, straight from the laundry. still slightly warm but cooling fast. just don't try thinking with it ever again.

I accuse myself of the following crimes...
I have seduced Party members of both sexes...
I've been to the proletarian areas...
I deliberately contracted syphilis in order to spread the disease...
to my wife and other Party members.
Together with other agents, I have counterfeited banknotes...
wrecked industrial machinery, polluted the water supply...
guided Eurasian rocket bombs to targets on Airstrip One...
by means of coded radio signals.
I stand here, a victim of the influence of Emmanuel Goldstein.
Guilty on all counts.
I'm glad I was caught. I was mentally deranged.
Now I am cured.
I ask only for you to accept my love of our leader.
I ask only to be shot while my mind is still clean.

penal colony + prison rape = funny.

did I get it?

PS- not a self-righteous judgment of your joke.

brainiac-dumdum: penal colony + prison rape = funny.

Is it rape if both parties consent?
The word play was teh funnie.

The romance and deep, heart felt passion?
Well that's just ... well... uhh ... special.

Don't worry they are playing soccer. Though having to play or watch soccer would certainly make me have strong desires to strangle someone just to be doing something more interesting than soccer.

rcain: Is it rape if both parties consent?

nope, good point.

brainiac-dumdum: rcain: Is it rape if both parties consent?

nope, good point.

Incidentally, I'm currently working on some BS for school about a woefully mediocre movie called American Me, which is chock full of prison rape.

brainiac-dumdum: rcain: Is it rape if both parties consent?

nope, good point.

I don't think a prisoner CAN consent, it's still considered rape.

You're wasting your time.

I'll buy you a case of beer and 3 days of carpet cleaning rental if you can make it all the way through.

Weaver... what's this headline about?
It's about prisoners wanting to stay.
Am I right?

And really, if you were being forcibly raped every day, would you want to stay?

But if the love of your life Abdul Hasseem Al-Ackbar was sharing a bunk with you and if you left, you'd both go to different countries and probably never see each other again... which would you rather choose? Stay in prison with your love, or leave and go live in a country where if they ever caught even so much of a whisper of the one true love you had, your own family would stone you to death like a dog in the street.

Your choice.

Besides, I hear those goat and hummus HotPockets taste freaking awesome.

Weaver95: brainiac-dumdum: rcain: Is it rape if both parties consent?

not according to the movie I just watched. There was lots of rape and lots of consent.

Although, if you mean legally, I have no idea. Prison rape is a horrific occurrence and it's shameful it is so ignored. Yet another broken link in our 'justice' system.

rcain: You're wasting your time.

Alas, I was not able to select the movie. I am intrigued though: been called nauseating, shocking, depraved, pornographic . . . it is also a masterpiece.

Also, the first link in Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought: is to a movie called Forced Entry and it made me laugh far more than appropriate for such a topic.

brainiac-dumdum: Alas, I was not able to select the movie.

Why not?
Was the lure of a case of beer (your choice) and 3 days carpet cleaning rental not enough?
Are you in college/university? If so, then the merits of this work should stand up against any supposed claims of pornography. If you are in high school still... well then that would be a definite no. And if that's the case, I would ask you to stop bringing pedo-bear around Fark since as much as we love to post Chris Hanson's pic, we really would all rather not have a "seat over there".

I mean he assigned the movie we must base our schnit on.

I'm 33 and a returning student who hates school. I'm earning my degree in geological time.

Can't we just turn the hoses on them or something? Oh, wait. Nevermind.

They don't wanna leave?

They just wanna bang on the bars all day?

Winktologist: They'll be eaten alive bored silly in an American SuperMax.

23 hours a day staring at walls. Not the rape factory you think it is.

brainiac-dumdum: I'm earning my degree in geological time

That's a hell of a curriculum.
Are you in the 6,000 or the 6,000,000,000 year program?

This is me believing that.

Actually, they may, simply because they know Gitmo is a great propaganda tool back home.

Kyosuke: Stockholm Syndrome.

...as in Stockholm Finland.

In supermax, no one can hear you scream.

Or the Superman II Phantom Zone (TM).

Kyosuke: Stockholm Syndrome.

Possibly, but some might believe that they will be sent back to their country of birth/origin where they could face worse punishment (i.e. execution).

FTA: He said that some detainees would rather stay put than go on trial in the US, where they would probably receive a life sentence or could wait years for a death sentence to be carried out.

The right is "trial by jury" not "no trial ever because you are afraid you will be convicted.

Oh goodie. This means Obama can get away with not fulfilling his promise about shutting it down by January and we can all feel good about it.

It's a win/win for everybody!

Emposter: The right is "trial by jury" not "no trial ever because you are afraid you will be convicted.

Ummm... The Guantanamo Bay prison was located outside the USA for the specific purpose of circumventing U.S. laws. I call no fair on suddenly invoking domestic laws which are now suddenly convenient.

Perhaps that was the idea, but in the end it didn't work. "In every practical sense Guantanamo is not abroad; it is within the constant jurisdiction of the United States... Art. I, § 9, cl. 2, of the Constitution has full effect at Guantanamo Bay" (Boumediene v. Bush, 2008)

The detainees have no more right to be held in Gitmo without trial than the US government has right to hold them their without trial.

I think this is another example of this administration's Aikido approach to the media and opposition in congress. People don't want to sent terrorists to domestic prisons? Start leaking how much the superterrorists hate the idea of supermax. Yeah, that's the ticket.

It's a solomonic choice for the jingoists. Terrists are evil! Terrists should get what's coming to them! Everything terrists like is bad! Everything terrists hate is good! Terrists hate the idea of going into the penal system! Therefore-

grind, hiss

Well then, I'm glad we didn't imprison them for very long before we gave them them their Constitutionally-guaranteed speedy trials.

Oh the detainees at Guantanamo are just pissed because they're not going to get their 80 degree weather, and plushy lifestyle at a Federal Supermax where there are PEOPLE WHO ARE WAY WORSE THAN THEY ARE BEING KEPT.

And I'm sure this idiots will drum up the argument that being sent to Colorado is some kind of "cruel and unusual punishment" because it snows there, and they'll be treated like that assholes that they are. Geneva Convention? HA

1. I don't think anyone here is going to claim it's a perfect system.
2. Right to speedy trial isn't actually at issue here. Only the defendant has that right, so if they want, that right can be waived. However, waiving that right does not create some sort of new right to an indefinitely delayed trial.

"You people don't really want to leave here, do you? I know you're gagged and all, but I know you can hear me through that hood, so just shake your head."

Cake or death?

I'd prefer to hear that from the Detainees themselves, rather than simply taking your word for it, OK?

Emposter: Right to speedy trial isn't actually at issue here.

I'm sorry, but WHAT???

You're the one who brought up the Constitutional (6th Amendment) Right to be tried by a jury (you did it at 2009-11-02 08:32:24 AM), and now you're saying that while your chosen part of the 6th Amendment is important for your argument, the rest of the Amendment, the part that I brought up, isn't valid?

I think we'd all like you to show your work on this one.
