Hey, you're talking about a progressive democratic country here. So what if they don't have plus signs in their arithmetic books! Those plus signs look like crosses! You wouldn't want a progressive, nodern, democratic country to use Christian symbols in their aritmetic books, would you?
And look how much better they do in terms of prisons. You don't need no fucking prisons when half the country is a prison, and they kill the really bad dudes before they even get to prison. How much more progressive, modern, and democratic can you get? Jeez!
