And if one makes thar choice. I'm 26, I'd never do that. I have a conscience. I'd happily pay the tax so they do 25 years to life. I've been through every drug and alcohol and abuse class and talked to people when I was in who ran the classes for those individuals who did sex assaults, the recidivism is actually as high as 90%. I mean besides that being disgusting after saving a child from thar abuse and I did once, I got off, he got 15 years. I'd rather us cutting costs release drug dealers and petty criminals, as long as we curb the sex crimes in our state and country. And if I ever find out you, sexually assaulted someone, then what happens, it happens, between you and me. People like you are why children get scarred for life by rapists and women and even men

And if someone sold your kid heroin and they od’ed, I’d bet you’d vote “not guilty” because that was the kid’s choice, right? And I never said sex offenders don’t deserve to be in prison, only that drug dealers and murderers deserve worse.

Oh I’m not judging. Tried convincing the wifey last week we should take our stuff out of the shed for the same reason. And I’ve been itching to work on the lawn but I know not quite yet.

+1 for a beer and fire pit night.

Everything you just said is false. People convicted of sex crimes have the lowest rates of recidivism. It is around 5% based on hundreds of studies. You are just repeating a false narrative that has been debunked decades ago. The most common sex offense is statutory where both parties have a consensual relationship but are off by a few years. The age of consent varies by state as well. So a 16yo and a 25 yo have sex in ct it is not a crime and the 25 yo is not a sex offender. While those same people do that is several other states the 25 yo is subjected to years in prison a be labeled a sex offender. Why do you want that person in prison for life? In a few states if you are arrested for public urination you are labeled a sex offender and put on the registry. You want that guy in prison for life?

There is a huge problem with computer porn addiction where many end up viewing or downloading child pornography. If caught they are considered sex offenders. Should they be locked up for life.

All this while the vast majority 95% are never convicted of any new sex offense. They are reformed like many others.

All this at a cost on average of $50,000 per year per inmate. Society suffers far more when you tie up that amount of tax money when it is not needed.

I know what people mean, but they don’t often consider it.. especially young people. And yes, it’s plenty profitable because there’s 7 almost 8 billion people. Everyone dies. There’s always money to be made and saved. You’re thinking too shallow and short term.

The requirements are so narrow and this would be used by so few people that it’s not going to impact any insurance company’s bottom line. This has been legal in Oregon for 25 years and about 2,200 people have taken advantage of it. That’s fewer than 100 a year. (Source)

I only called the D.E.E.P & animal control about the fox I saw, none of the other animals! As if the fox was rabid they can get violent.

But considering whatever it was was spreading quickly to other animals was a concern of mine (which I didn't report either as my Mom said "just leave it for someone else")

I mean does the opioid crisis just not register with you? How many Americans that died who were addicted to them from being in legitimate pain then switched to heroin either bc of costs or prescription running out? You've obviously never tried actual drugs and if you did, you'd have a different approach to it then this.
