      You can go to a Starbucks and leave your laptop and phone on a desk. Literally no one will take it. Mostly because of fear of execution.

        Exactly, lived there a while, you replace your fear of crime with a fear of authority. Don’t speak out, don’t protest, don’t ruffle feathers. It seems fine right until something effects you, then you have no recourse, except for leaving.

        Hyperbole isn’t helping you make your point. Singapore’s punishment for theft:

        Punishment for theft
        379. Whoever commits theft shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 3 years, or with fine, or with both.

          I wasn’t making a point. It was a joke. It’s something people who go to Singapore say. I thought it was obvious but I always over-estimate the intelligence of an average human.
