I don't know why some of you just can't lighten up.

You're dealing with deep psychological motivations here, which aren't
amenable to reasoned argument. People just won't 'lighten up' because
someone asks them to, and some conditions are untreatable, like
sociopathy, which is why prisons are full of repeat offenders. Usenet
hasn't been formulated to deal with issues like this, as events in ukra an
unnc have shown.

Some repeat offenders will be those that are so dumb they repeatedly get
caught. Others may simply be institutionalised. A prison sentence is not the
best thing to put on your CV, and the more time spent inside, the more
difficult it will be to get work outside. An easy option could be to
re-offend and go back inside. Are such people sociopaths?
