Might be a good idea to keep out of prison then.

Not that you can necessarily help it. I read that the average person breaks 13 assorted laws per week without even realizing it.

Until they have run out of prisoners, they haven't run out of food. Technically speaking.

And NOT ONE of those 'laws' would put a person in jail... Sounds like you've been reading the criminal press ... it's an excuse they use to rationalize robbing a bank or raping a woman... That someone out that jay-walked without knowing it. And somehow it's all the same. It's not. They're idiots. Don't carry water for them.

Long pig is long pig. We've got centuries of recipes and traditions. At least they don't have a surplus of Irish babies. ;)

Well...there goes the “Commit crime, get food and medicine in prison” option

Greece is an absolute mess...they should bolt the EU immediately. They are in such dire straits because of the requirements to join and maintain membership...which forced Greece (and Spain, Portugal) to extreme government spending to raise GDP and GNP to EU requirements

The author needs grammar lessons. Total uncessary use of caps.

Either put them to work growing their own food, or start letting the non violent ones out.

You're right. It looks like something written in the 17th or 18th centuries.

I wonder if it maybe a result of the translation software?

They should GROW their own food. And any excess should go to the local food banks which are begging nightly on the news for food for the poor, mainly children and seniors. NO COLAS equal less money for food for seniors. Children get 3-4 meals per day at school at tax SLAVE expense, plus their parents food stamps, which they by lots of JUNK FOOD with. And get money back to buy cigs and lottery tickets with.
