There are degrees of disrespect. Self-delusion can factor in on lesser crimes. Serious ones, not so much.

Sex offenders can have limitations on, say, interacting with children. I've also seen people who couldn't be friends without getting in trouble being ordered by the judge to stop having contact with each other.Originally posted by Paprika View Post"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.

And realistically, we know this is the main issue.Originally posted by Darth Executor View Post"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right!

Generally speaking, I am in favor of restoring voting rights to a felon who has served their time (prison and probation). There are certain classes of felony (vote fraud especially) where I would be more hesitant.Originally posted by Cow Poke View Post
