Drug dealers make a choice to sell poison, they should be punished for that choice; sex offenders should be punished for their choices too.

I’d go to Newport in Rhode Island instead. We stayed at The Artful Lodger on our honeymoon and it was wonderful. Newport is pricey but worth it.

For a restaurant tab I always do 2 for every 10 if I’m drunk and don’t want to do math. And a dollar a drink

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.

Definitely this was written by a chomo. If I catch a 25 year old doing that I'm beating their ass. It's a sex crime if under 18, your more then 3 years older.

Have not heard of this, with multiple friends and family having had stays at DH. 🤷🏻♀️ Granted, none in 2023.

Maybe it is so surprising because they are just everyday folks living their lives and not bothering anyone. If they actually were that dangerous you would be hearing more.

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.

Oregon has kept statistics for 25 years. About 90 people a year have used this, not the thousands your exaggerated fear-mongering suggest.

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.

ASML does have a large presence in Wilton, but their “home” is more so in the Netherlands, where they are from and where their HQ is.
They have a few US locations, Wilton and two California locations are their US R&D offices.

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)

Man all these down votes but I didn't say anything that's inaccurate. Almost like people don't wanna have sex offenders get what they deserve. How many probably are sex offenders? I'd guess 1/3

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.

Well lets see, there's a mix of rain and snow on them so I'd say they aren't great. Always take it slow in weather.

Just in case you dont already know, assuming the rash is actually from bedbugs, whatever they gave her at the clinic is only going to make the rash feel better. To make it go away, a pretty serious deep clean will be necessary at her home.

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
