    Like providing health care to women?

    You see, people are pointing this out because what is and isn’t a crime changes over time. Slavery however is always bad. Hence we should never enslave people.

      What is and isn’t a crime that lands you hard time or civic duty hasn’t really changed much at all during modern times, at least in Finland.

      When they do, the consequences change with them.

      For exmple having a repeat DUI person clean roadsides is a great way to rehabilitate.
