Thinking more about this episode, I feel worse about nearly every character on the show. Cox, Eliot, Carla and Turk were fighting over who was going to help out their friend, while Janitor was painfully unfunny and Kelso did nothing.
Comparing prison to other places in society is a direct violation of the defintion of prison. You're put there to be separated from society, not to become an extension of it. There are different rules, therefore there are different norms.
My point is that bitching about it is useless b/c there are flaws inherent in the penal system that cannot be solved by some sweeping legislation.
And fucking read, dude- don't put words in my mouth. I never said sodomy should be part of the punishment. I said the problems will only be solved on an individual basis. Don't be that guy that looks for arguments.
I refer you back to this:
...which is not a federal decision, so write your own representatives.
You can't pass sweeping legislation on even a state level- shit like this needs to be handled on a case-by-case basis, b/c for everyone one fuckhead that gets his ass raped for having feminine features and doesn't get help from the guards, there's a worse fuckhead who gets his ass kicked for being a child molestor and gets transferred to a minimum security facility.
She probably wanted to see if their relationship would stand the test of Kim being in a different hospital if JD didn't feel obligated to stay b/c of the baby. I think that was pretty well hinted at with the last five minutes of their dialogue and JDs voiceover on the bench- with no baby in the picture, they agreed to split.
I have this vision of Kim coming back at the end of the show and introducing JD to his child, and then it's revealed that the entire series has been JD recounting his life story to his kid.
