Citation needed. A decade in prison is twice 5 years. That’s a lot of time to waste. Edit: Guess downvotes are abused here too ... Edit2: Would be interesting to see how low this post will go. Guess some people don’t like their abusing of the moderation system called out. |

The reason you don't steal from your coworkers has little to do with the sentence that would be imposed and a lot to do with your personal values: you know theft is wrong.
Edit: talking about downvoyes will always attract downvotes. HN's voting culture may not even what you're used to. People can down item for any, or for no, reason. A few people can down vote, but most people with an account can upvote. Corrective upvote will often be provided - there are people on HN who look for unfairly downvoted posts to supply corrective upvote.
If your post is downvoted and remains downvoted it means that someone downvoted it, and no-one else who read it thought it deserved different.
Phrases like [citation needed] are often going to get downvoted. Downvotes are likely because you're claiming prison is a deterrent and that longer sentences are a stronger deterrent with nothing to support that claim, while asking someone else to support their claim that longer sentences aren't a deterrent.
