This website is unbelievable. Accompanied by nice music is a happy
family. I'm not sure why they are happy, maybe they just ratted out
their noisy, druggie neighbours and had them carted off. There are
also children playing on the rocks of a serene lake. The girl is showing
her father something in the water. Maybe she found her mother's head.
There are films, e-books and a history lesson. But the best is the motto.

"But there is a place that hope and courage too move forward over the
difficult situation. Correctional institutions that offer a better future for
the people behind the bars."


Sounds good. The next time I'm feeling down I'm so there.

On a less funny note a guy I know has been there for weeks awaiting
his trial. (which will be in about 5 more weeks) I don't need to say for
what Rolling Eyes

The Korean immigration site has the same song. It is about law,

법은 어렵지않아요
법은 불편하지도 않아요
법은 우리를 도워줄 거에요
법은 우리를 지켜줘요


Law isn't difficult
Law isn't inconvenient (uncomfortable)
Law will help us
Law keeps us (safe)

It is an odd song to say the least.

I rarely have time for people who do drungs in Asia and then complain when they are caught, but it is harsh to keep someone on remand for smoking pot when corporate big wigs get a slap on the wrist for their crimes.

milspecs, I get the feeling you are a phenomenally dense individual, so
I shouldn't even be replying to you, but where did I say I was angry? I
believe my premise was that this is an absurd website. Rolling Eyes

I would reply to this, but I have no idea what it means.

I think I'd be more self-righteous if this didn't seem to happen all over the world. Fact is, the rich and poor have different codes of law operating for them no matter what country.

This was interesting: myth becomes behaviour.
