Tomm Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 It has been found that 90% of all prison inmates share a common gene. This so-called 'crime gene' can be tested for. The government can test for this gene, and they could arrest these people and put them to jail, and 90% of crime would disappear.Should we do the test?Discuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 This was on a documentary I think, but they only tested inmates so they couldn't prove that it was this gene that caused it I think.If not, slate me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 You can't arrest someone for being born a certain way, thats an almost appalling outlook to take. I'm sure there would be thousands of people who had the gene and would never do anything that they should get sent to prison for. At the end of the day its the choices people take that defines whether they do bad things or not... not their genes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Would it result in nearly everybody being locked up? YesWould it result in the end trials? Hell yes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Sounds a bit wrong to me. You could also say that over 90% prison inmates have a pair of eyes. How do we know that normal people don't have this gene? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbra Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I think i may have been born with this gene. I often think about committing crimes lol. Wouldn't do any of it like. So i'm obviously against it, you can't jail people for being born a certain way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) you can't jail people for being born a certain way.I disagree. we should lock up anyone born illegitimately, black, jewish, muslim or catholic. It'd solve all our problems overnight. seriously, i really mean it Edited July 15, 2007 by poopipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) Being handcuffed to a bed is not sodomy!http://dictionary.reference.com/JonAny of various forms of sexual intercourse held to be unnatural or abnormal, especially anal intercourse or bestiality.It doen't qualify as normal ergo it must be sodomy.

Tomm Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 When I said 'gene', I meant chromosome. The chromosome is the y chromosome, I.e. only men have it. 90% of crime is committed by men, but we shouldn't judge all men as criminals, that would be stupid. We certainly can't lock up all men.Some of you will probably realise that I'm kinda referring to race, religion and terrorism. It's not an accident that I made this post right after that ridiculous petition thread. It was a demonstration of how not to generalise people - Something to think about, anyway.

The ones who control it don't go to jail, the ones who don't do.Differences in peoples genes *may* affect their mental tendencies, but ultimately it's whether you control yourself or not that matters...
