Es aclamado como un mesías junto con otros miembros de PODEMOS, el partido político que acaba de sacar 5 escaños en tan sólo unos pocos meses de existencia y que está conformado por amantes del Chavismo. Ni siquiera se les puede cuestionar pues te descalifican...terrible!<br />Es triste ver el desconocimiento que en España se tiene de la situación de Venezuela.

Any government needs to address all of that, plus then some (drugs/gangs/illegal immigration, etc, etc, etc)... even crime-watch neighbor associations, gotta attack the "insegurad" monster from every angle.<br />CISledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669696149094846115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-37342661524194696572011-12-19T17:33:01.488+01:002011-12-19T17:33:01.488+01:00The probability of doing any action regarded as il...The probability of doing any action regarded as illegal is directly proportional to how easy it is to get away with it and how beneficial it would be. Having legal alternatives to achieve the same goal is only meaningful if said legal ways are easier than the illegal ones, otherwise it makes no difference.<br /><br />Notice that this doesn't quite apply to illegal actions that are explicitly regarded as "highly immoral" and/or violent (e.g. murder), where the person might have their own reasons not to do them regardless of whether or not they think they might get caught. However people who have no problem committing murder, will certainly not stop committing murders just because there might be a legal alternative to achieve the same goal.<br /><br />The point is, just creating jobs will not reduce crime as long as illegal acts are (a) easy to get away with and (b) easier to do than a real job. It is necessary to ensure that people think the the job is a better alternative than crime, which can only happen if (a) there are enough jobs for everyone, (b) there is a great certainty that committing crimes will get you punished.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-62403606336056891392011-12-19T16:00:41.011+01:002011-12-19T16:00:41.011+01:00Sledge,

Thought about it, but hey, it was Sunday..<br /><br />To Miguel's and your observations I would add, for instance, that the outrageous, unprecedented levels of crime ( --over 60 murders every weekend?! in a City of just 4 million, no to mention the record-breaking daily kidnappings, and petty thefts, which force people to be utterly scared to even go to a park or stop at a red light, let alone go out at night---) those are closely related to the exponential deterioration of the economy, the galloping inflation, unemployment and under-employment you mention. i.e. if people had more jobs, or better jobs, with a decent "poder adquisitivo", they wouldn't be out there robbing and killing as much.<br /><br />Everything is inter-related, with Chavismo's incompetence as the common denominator (insufficient, corrupt police force, jail system and judicial system down the toilet, public education still a mess, etc, etc) <br /><br />And about comparing Venezuelan socialismo to Spain.. woww.. how about comparing it to any other totalitarian system in the world, from the Russians to the Cubans, which have all failed miserably, 50 decades of blatant failure in Chavez's adored Cuba.. which will also revert to Capitalism as soon as the old gizzards are gone..<br /><br />What a hypocritical clown. People actually sell their souls for cash any day of the week, as the thousands who are bribed by Chavez do.Sledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669696149094846115noreply@blogger.com
