@dontmindme633 The American prison system is so extremely corrupt, holy damn.. I just can't. (Not to rub it in anyone's faces, but) I'm born and raised, still living here in Oslo, Norway. Many people are aware of how our prison systems work (key word: work - because they actually work). We're ranked to have one of the absolute BEST prisons. Prison is still prison so it will never be a luxury, of course. Still, we believe in human rights regardless of their past and wrongdoings, regardless of the crime. We believe that the punishment is having to serve time and losing your freedom, not in prisons actually serving punishment beyond taking away their freedom. Depending on what type of facility you're in (maximum security, lower grade security and such), you'll have it really good, actually. Most cells even have TV's and proper furniture. Our cells looks for the most part like institutions, not just pure cells. Usually the guards and the inmates gets close to each other, playing cards, board games, watch TV together and stuff like that. Kind of similar to drug rehabilitation facilities/other treatment facilities of high standards. The focus on actual rehabilitation is the main focus, and it works. We have among the best rates when it comes to rehabilitation, which truly is the most important. Most people here who serve one sentence only serves that one sentence. It's very rare to get the revolving door "syndrome". Some people, many people think our prisons are too "good". Many think most prisoners don't deserve all they get. Our prisoners not only gets good facilities with work and/or education oppurtunities along with psychological and medical help for free, they get income provided by the government. Their prison grocery stores doesn't have inflated prizes, they're just the same as regular grocery stores. All of our prisons are public, nothing about the criminal sector here is privatized at all. No one is making a profit, so it's good for everyone in the entire country to provide proper rehabilitation, to make it as little likely as possible for people to get reincarcerated. We also have several programs solely designed to help ex-prisoners to get on their feet again, with trying to ensure work, housing and all things necessary to prevent new ex-prisoners from reoffending out of desperation (like preventing them from having to rob someone for survival money etc.). Some people may think our prisoners gets too much, but considering our extremely high success rates it's very beneficial to literally everyone. The goal should be to prevent crime, right? That's what we're doing. I've personally had to send someone to prison. Well, I didn't personally actually technically send someone to prison, but I managed to win a case where the offender ended up in prison (thankfully - he was as vile as they can get). I struggled a lot with coping with the knowledge of how good I knew he'd be treated in prison, obiviously. After what he did to me, he deserves to get tortured and burned. Seriously. It was extremely hard for a long time, especially knowing that while the person that took so much from me and hurt me in so many ways, causing me severe trauma and disability had a nice room, good food and a proper bed to sleep on, I was homeless with nothing to my name. Nothing. There's no wonder why I, or anyone elde would find that to be appaling and extremely unfair. Although it was unfair that I got just about no help except a tiny amount of wellfare money to live off of while being sick on the street, that's another issue not really connected. I later on, after finally getting better aid and an apartment, found peace with what I at first found to be extremely unjust. Despite me wishing nothing but the worst on him, I'm still extremely appreciative of our prison system. Although it is extremely hard to swallow, I know it's in the best interest of everyone that our prisoners get treated with respect and decensy. I'm thankful that yes, even him, who in my eyes is the worst human on earth, gets proper rehabilitation. It's not about what he deserves, it's about what the rest of us deserve. That's the important thing to think about. We don't help and treat our prisoners as well as we do for them, we do it for us. We do it to make the lives of everyday people safer. We don't want innocent people getting hurt, and that's exactly why we think it's important to have the kind of prisons as we have. It's not to benefit the criminal. It's done like this for us, the entire nation. What we do works. Not saying it's perfect or that nobody ends up reoffending however many times it may be, but it actually works. Our success rate is so much higher than at least most of the rest of the world, possibly even the best in the world (I'm not sure how good ranking we have compared to all other nations, but I do know we're among the best, most likely if not on the very top, we're at least among the top five). America, you have too much to improve. You wanting to call yourself "the best nation on earth" is just silly, grandiose, narcissistic and ignorant. Seriously. Your fasade may be good, but it doesn't take long to notice the tons of injustuces and (to put it mildly), flaws. I hope that one day, you'll achieve the right to call yourself the best. The entire globe would benefit from that, considering your massive influence globally. Get yourself together. I know most of you americans wants to fight for the better and are working tirelessly towards that, don't get me wrong. Please, all of you good humans out there, continue the good fight for a thriving democracy and prosperity. Please. We all need you. We want and need you to succeed. Thank you for reading everything if you did. Stay happy and healthy, everyone! 🌸🖤🌸🍃

I think it's good that he's there. He is conservative after all. He's at least honest, unbiased and daring to ask the right questions with the ability to stay objective. Considering all the other hosts repukeliKKKans watch, it's a good thing that Wallace is there to balance the scale, even just a little bit. That's a good thing. Although I may not agree with his conservative views, I respect him a lot as a journalist. He's doing really good. He critiques both repukeliKKKans and democrats. He fact checks. He's a proper journalist, not a fear mongering a-hole like the rest of them are.

@roywarriner8441 Oh trust me, I know. Lol, no hope there. Still, although he does not balance the scale, without him, there would only be extremists there. At least FOX viewers have the oppurtunity to get a slightly different perspective from a more proper journalist who's actually able to be more objective and critical to the repukeliKKKans. I'm just saying it helps. If he was on CNN or MSNBC instead, the would be no one on FOX "news" to bring a more objective perspective. That's all.
