Also, as for who is a bigger threat.

When the poor guy gets out of jail for robbing someone.  He's still going to be poor.  And it's going to be even harder for him to earn money.

When the racist guy gets out of jail.  He's still going to be racist... but he doesn't HAVE to comit crimes because he isn't poor.

Who is more likely to reoffend again?

The guy who stole something because he needed money and still doesn't have money.

Or the guy who stole something just to punish someone he didn't like and got nothing out of it but a jail term?

It really isn't.

Do you think the person who was stabbed really care why he was stabbed?  Or the person who was robbed cares why he was robbed?

How many people does someone who robs someone for money have to rob before it's as bad as the racist in your mind?

Was Hitler worse then Stalin because Hitler targeted one race, while Stalin targeted those who he thought were against him.  Even though Stalin killed more people?

All that matters is action.

Well were talking Canada here. If someone is poor and goes to jail because they are poor and felt the need to rob someone. Well in Canada their are financial aid programs for criminals who can't find work, much like welfare and if the individual proves he is looking for work (Hands out a certain amount of resumes) he is applicable for low income housing.

I myself as a security guard met people on the streets who begged me to get them arrested. Their was one guy who said he had been in jail and he had a roof over his head, three hot meals a day a TV etc...etc... He wanted to go back so badly so he wanted me to get him arrested. Fact is an individual in such a situation where they are poor and want to be arrested or poor and need to steal something for an income. These individuals aren't usually the kind that are going to murder someone.

A thief who accidently murders someone or does not intend to murder someone, who is just out to get some money. Should not be treated the same as a racist who stabs someone in the street out of hatred and in cold blood. Who is more likely to re-offend? Well the thief is more likely to steal again but isn't as likely to kill someone as a racist murderer.

How many times does someone have to rob someone before its as bad as racist in my mind? Well robbing someone is never as bad as a racist attack in my mind. Robbing is done out of nescessity or jealousy where as a racist attack is done out of spite and hatred far worse in my mind then a guy who's just down on his luck.

If I was black, Asian or heck if a black or asian man stabbed me because I was white. Compared to someone stabbing me because they were poor or wanted some money I'd be alot more pissed off at the racist then the guy who wants my money.

A racist crime is worse then a non-racist crime.

So in otherwords.

A poor person can rob and stab 5-6 people... and it's not as bad as the racist who stabbed one person.

How anyone could hold that opinion is stupifying to me.

No matter how many people the poor person stabs, what he did wasn't as bad as a racist guy who stabs one person.

Really.

That's your opinion?Some poor guy could go a massive killing spree for money killing dozens... and the racist is still worse.

I think the bodycount... and the vast majority of rational individuals would disagree with you.

It's like saying a random racist murderer who killed one black guy is worse then Stalin.  Since Stalin had a better "reason" to kill.
