Wut
Releasing all prisoners at once is simply the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
"Dumbest thing [you] ever heard" is entirely different from "completely impossible," you know.
Obviously it's "possible" to unlock all the doors and walk away.
Whatcha gonna do with all the actual, legitimate violent criminals who just got dumped back into society all at once?
Actually no its not possible to do that because if you do that some of the prisoners will become the new jailers.
What I’m saying is that it is not actually possible for everyone to be free, because there are some people who aren’t the government who will actively kidnap and imprison other people.
Thank you for admitting you were wrong.
How the fuck should I know? It wasn't my idea, nor did I endorse it.
Alright Copernicus, clearly the suggestion that it was "impossible" related to the unacceptable nature of releasing all criminals without review.
Agree that if you enforce childish semantic literalism then yes, I was wrong. But if you have at least two functioning neurons you'd understand quite clearly what was going on.
Assuming you do, that means you intended to be petty, and have nothing to add.
You get what you give, buddy.
Refuting a nonsensical idea as impossible is not "being petty". My short response at most was "being curt" or "dismissive".
You are too dumb to be in my life. See ya
