An experiment in social engineering
 

Lets put OAP's in prison and prisoners in nursing homes.This way the OAP's would have access to showers,hobbies and walks,free prescriptions,dental treatment and on site medical treatment,wheels chairs,gardens etc. and even spending money.They would have constant video monitoring so if they fell or needed help they would get it immediately.Their bedding would be washed at least twice a week and their clothes washed,ironed and returned to them.
Guards would check on them every 20 minutes to see if they were OK and bring their meals and snacks to their cells if needed.They would have free access to a library,medical centre,spiritual councelling, swimming pool,a good choice of free education,free legal aid.Free clothes, shoes,satellite TV,DVD,radio,phone calls.A board of directors to act on their complaints and the guards would have a strict code of conduct.
The prisoners would be totaly ignored,get cold food,lights off early,showers once a week, a tiny room and pay £500 pounds a week.Also they'd know they would never get out. Seems fair?

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

sounds like a great idea to me

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Fantastic idea Gordon, IMHO, the government (whichever coLour), have got the wrong priorities - that comment will probably pull a certain person's chain:-)))

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

ya seem to have a fair knowledge of life in the nick Gordon, have ya just got out?:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

As I've already found, I KNEW I'd have to be VERY carefull on here!

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Ideas good though, shame theres no party wi the balls to implement it.;)

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

I absolutley love this! Should get it published. Brilliant

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

just sent this out to a few people by email, i thinks its a great idea

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Perhaps I should 'e' mail it to Ken Clarke. After all, if prison doesn't work for prisoners, it might work better on OAP's.

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Is there a petition that can be signed? I am up for that. OAP's get a really raw deal.

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Beat ya to it Gordon, but he won't have got it yet he's at the cricket:D absolutely brilliant mate, you'll do for me:mosher:

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

You hoping to go then?

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

I think each and every one of us should send this to our local rag, if that is allowed and make it nationwide or even world wide. What do you think?:alright:

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Where did you copy that one from Gordon?

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

he copied it from here

Put Old People In Jail! - Kyle Dykman - Open Salon

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

or maybe here

Let's put the elderly in Jail | BarryDadof3 on Xanga

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

or maybe even here

Points to ponder: - Forums

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Actually a friend 'e' mailed it to me, he sends me lots of interesting things and it struck such a chord with me that I thought it worth passing on.Took me ages to key it in!Good detective work,flashy, how do you backtrack to sources as you did?
It obviously strikes a chord with other people as well!

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Hey Gordon,
Doesn't matter, made people sit up, especially me, have shared it with people already and making them think! I still think it is Brill!

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Think it struck a chord wi quite a few, nice one.:)

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

It would appear that whatever the source, it is somewhere in the USA. What they don't have in the US are ASBO's and as the present government intends to abolish them, maybe they could do so with a flourish?

We all know that ASBO's come with holidays attached for the poor, deprived criminal underclass so maybe we should give every OAP an ASBO with the condition that a) they keep out of Accy every third saturday (that's when I'm there doing my shopping and b) they go on an all-expenses paid, two weeks adventure safari in Africa.

Everyone's a winner!

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Fair enough but what will the bingo n puggy joints do when they lose their most important customer so you can go shopping? :p:tongueout

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

when it comes down to it you never said it came from you originally anyway Gordon :D

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

It is already world wide, as soon as you post on accyweb everything is read by google, yahoo, etc. and can be found in their pages if you care to look for them.
Doing a search for 'An experiment in social engineering', in google at the moment shows this thread as the fourth item on their first page about this topic.

;)

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

There's nout much gets past our Less:D

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

If your mate emailed it to you why on earth did you re-type it rather than copy and paste it?

Also just to avoid this type of confusion about originality, mention at the end of your post that it was sent by a friend.
:)

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

There are people on here who wouldn't know how to cut and paste an email Less:eek::eek: and I'm on of um:D

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Then I suggest you learn, it will save you many a frustrating hour:-


Copy and Paste - Learn how to Cut, Copy and Paste in seconds! - making copies, moving text, editing on the computer:)

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

cheers less i'll have a read of that when i get time.

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Me to in about ten minutes:D

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Good grief Less thats so easy, thanks for the help:mosher:

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

great post. :)

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Less, the reason I typed it in was I had to edit down to make it fit in the 'thread box'.Also I don't know how to cut and paste either(I'll read up your info).I never thought of mentioning the source ,just thought it interesting.Funnily enough, the only original bit of mine was the heading, which you say finds the originals on Google(now I know how Flashy did it!).
We visited an old relation of ours for several years in what was supposed to be one of the best care homes in Blackburn(aaa! the box opens up when you fill it) and I must say I would rather die young(well, not this young) and at home than in one of those places.

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

If the wandering posts I and Jambutty are known for are anything to go by, don't worry about size, it just doesn't matter.

Good, glad to help.
Always mention the source if you aren't making it up as you go along.:)

It is interesting, you've seen the response.
Not so, I only showed the link to accyweb.

Lesson two obviously needs to be 'how to find what I think I've read before'.

I hope you visited regularly, my biggest regret when my Mum was in one was to follow my brothers advice, 'don't bother Less, whenever I turn up she says you just left. I should have gone.:(

See, you're learning.:D

Wait until you get older, life is something worth clinging to no matter how old we become.

Oi, Jaysay Pass the disposable nappies.
:D

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

I'm not that young,if Jaysay has used all his I can send you some of mine.

Re: An experiment in social engineering
 

Or we could go the other way round ...call it the "BIG Society" and let people look after the old for free.. if yer park is looking untidy then clean it up and walk away..make home help non existent but ask the neighbours to look out for the old folk a few doors away.. all these things have been done for free in this county for decades.. but Cameron and the Tories want to make it officail.!... cutting costs? this is more of the them and us stuff we had under Thatcher... cuts cuts cuts.. no matter the cost

Cheeky sod, I'm not that bad yet although the water tablets are keeping me on the run:D:o
