Living in san francisco is like living in a gulag because people have freedoms. Including the freedom to piss and shit all over the city.

Somebody took a shit in front of my apartment the other day. Does this person need to go to the gulag for a bit, does he need help? Yes, yes he does, because people need jail time for crimes and they need help.

Gulag is a loaded word. It has negative political connotations because of guantanamo bay. A better word is Jail. You can't have a society without jails.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.


I do. Gulags have toilets people use, SF does not.

Honestly neither of us have lived in a Gulag so don't act like it's sacrilege or immature that I would compare such a thing. Don't use this tactic, it's cheap. My Uncle lived in a gulag, don't make me use him as counter-tactic.

You are dismissing an obvious solution. One that has been implemented successfully in places such as Singapore. The dichotomy of individual rights and the greater good is not strict.

Individual Rights need to be given up for the good of mankind. It is unscientific not to consider these possible solutions as they have been implemented to major success in other places such as Singapore.
