Can trolling be two things?:
1. A person causing trouble by posting certain comments.
2. A person called a troll just because he has a different opinion to others.
Could the word be widely misused? Like the vast majority confusing 'jealous' and 'envious'. 3. Being relatively uninformed and/or ignorant, or prejudiced.

^^^by "companionship" I am sure they mean a cat? Cats are pretty common over here in American prisons, especially for the hardened convicts. They had an episode on cats and other small pets in prison on "Locked Up" on MSNBC recently. Really? They let you have a pet in some prisons? Yes
Tommy Shots: They want me running the family, don't they know I have a young wife?
Sal Vitale: (laughs) Tommy, jump in, the water's fine.

The way I understand it, Breivik will be eligible for parole in 21 years. But I doubt very much he will ever be released.
See this is what i'm talking about. Why the ambiguity? If it's a life sentence why don't they just say it. If I remember correctly, they dont technically have a "life sentence" over there just permanent "detainment" We got to remember, the rest of the world doesnt do everything the same way we do.

Yes The show that I saw, it wasn't like individual guys were allowed to have their own pets. (Maybe some jails do, who knows?) But the documentary I saw, the guys who worked in the kitchen were feeding these cats. I took it the cats were like strays that came in under the fence or something. I think the guards tolerated them because they eat mice.

I think the guards tolerated them because they eat mice. Gotcha. I am talking about stray cats who find their way to the prison or cats who are given to very violent inmates and are allowed to live with the inmate in his cell and the inmate can spend his commissary money on buying cat food if he wants as well. Studies have shown that these felines help reduce rates of violence in inmates and prisons that have them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iUojn2ENLchttp://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/prison-cuddly-catz-program-pairs-felons-felines-004723194.htmlhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvVkAQc2Am8&feature=related
