[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1580622, member: 4319"] Of course it can be done. Anything can be done. I'm not complaining, and I'm not talking about me, your son and certainly not peepee sores. I have no criminal record. I was well aware of the consequences and did what I could to avoid making decisions that could haunt me. Your step father aside, a felony, or even a misdemeanor, can follow a person for years and years. It's not so much that I feel bad for them (I'm a pretty cold hearted person and don't really care about most people to be honest), it's that I question the motives, methods and effectiveness of the way we treat offenders. Of course you can rise up from a low place, but are we holding them back? And why? Let's face it, not everybody is a smart/motivated/lucky as your step father. It's not that these people make me shed a tear...it's the logistics of it on a societal level. Could it be making the problem worse? Are we just making it all to easy for bad folk to stay bad folk? What's our end goal here? We gotta deal with them being a load/drain/proverbial peepee sore on society when they aren't being productive. I don't see why we should make it hard for the rest of their days. Good point. [/QUOTE]
