The thing is, in the Philippines, criminals don't learn. They always get caught again and keep taking up resources in order to enforce them. The country can not spend so much money in fighting crime. My cousin is of high ranking in the police department in Manila. He tells me stories of crime in the country. How students would get killed for money and criminals getting released after short periods of being detained. They simply don't have room in prison for everyone. They end up having to release some of them. The ones that keep coming back, they end up killing. Maybe Obama should bring some business there to help the country with poverty. Where there is poverty, there is crime. Help the country, not blast them with how they should run it. |
This precisely sums up the issues with western democracies. They don't understand what's going on and how bad things are but they like to have a say and make out as if they know better. When they force their way and things turn out worse ( say hello to Iraq & Libya), they point their fingers elsewhere instead of taking responsibility.
India has been oppressing Sikhs in punjab for decades and is guilty of genocide, but it's been overlooked consistently due to India being an ally. Over 20,000 Sikhs were massacred in 1982 alone.
Rohingar again is having similar issues with genocide being committed, but not a word has been said.
There is no consistency, there are no principles, there is no good will. It's all politics and power play. We choose who we wish to criminalise and who we wish to put on a pedestal. However, sometimes those who we put on a pedestal are little to no different to those who we criminalise.
