The only vote a convicted felon should have is which type of execution he/she prefers...

Sorry Hex, but the fact is, if you broke into someone elses house, and threw a party, you commited a felony. If that had been my house that there were 13,000 dollars worth of damage to, I would have killed you. I like the things you say around here, as much as anyone else, but the fact remains, I would not trust you or any other felon to decide the future of my country.

He has had a dramatic change Puter, but yes, there is no way you could put that into legal writing. Very unfortunate. But I do respect you Hex, a lot :) I didn't know you spent two years in jail. Mind telling me about it? I'm interested in these kinds of things. Longest I've spent in jail was hm, a night I think.
 
I did and i accept that what i did was wrong and i paid the price. I think your opinion on the subject is ignorant but nonetheless i respect it. I know many people who have never commited any crimes who i can't trust as far as i can throw and a few ex-cons who are reformed and people whom would trust with my own life. I think it's always a mistake to catigorize anyone. People should be judged on an individual basis. Many times mistakes can actually make us better people that is, if we learn from them.
 
Thanks LL. I don't have the time now i gotta run. But i will happily re-engage in this conversation when i get back.

You have a point there, it probably should be done on an individual basis, but what do you propose, fill our over-burdened courts with more cases so felons can get thier voting rights back? I'm quite sure the American people will not go for that, as that will only raise our taxes further, and provide less people with justice. It probably is a mistake to categorize people, but it is not a mistake to judge a person on their past actions. Past actions are the only thing we ever really have to judge a person on.
 
Mhhh...there's a lot of truth in that, Hex. But like you said, it must be seen per case, not being categorized.
I wouldn't turn my back on somebody convicted for beating other people up, and I wouldn't leave my wallet laying somewhere with somebody convicted for theft...

It all depends on the crime and the person.
I honestly believe you've regretted what you've did, and you seem like a nice guy. So that's different.
Plus two years for a crime like that is a LOT.
Around here you'd get 2 ~ 3 months plus you've got to pay for the damage...
 
Actually i like the sytem just the way it is. Certian felons can get their rights back. So i propose we make no changes whatsoever.
Ok gotta run now later all. :)

I go to school in a neighbourhood far more worse than most cities in the US :rolleyes:

I also lived in the US, also near less nice neighbourhoods...without guns :rolleyes:


So don't generalize me without even knowing me, ok? :)
 
i don't need a gun to defend myself, is America that fucked up that every home needs a gun? I live in Tottenham, ask any person from the UK about Tottenham and you'll hear its one of the worst areas in London, and i never had the need for a gun.
 
Peace you two, both of you like guns and you know it. And both of you are right wing and you know it. :D

Justin, you are pouring gas on the fire. Yes we are so fucked we need a gun ok? At least we have the fucking damn courage to stand up for what we are instead of being led around in a nosering. We FIGHT for our country and we BLEED for our country. I admire Mitch a GREAT deal because he offered his life for his country. Now fuck off.
 
Well i do 'have' one, but its in the loft and not loaded and will never be, cause its not totally legal and not totally mine, the thought of taking a life with it sickens me.
 
I like guns, but it's not that I need them. All I'm asking MitchSchaft why a non-American wouldn't understand the need for a gun.

That's not an unreasonable question, is it? I hate being generalized, and I want to know why.
So please explain to me :)
