Again the molester/pedophile comparison; it’s a straw argument. We’re discussing a totally different crime, totally unrelated to child molestation and/or pedophilia.

It’s not a straw argument at all. We are discussing crimes, paying your debt to society, and then getting on with your life. We are just using a different crime as an example, the theory is the same.

Let’s use a different crime if you are uncomfortable with our example. If you owned a company and somebody embezzled money from you, got caught, went to prison and “paid their debt to society”. After his debt to society was paid would you hire that person back to handle your finances?

No, WV it is not a straw argument. Studies have shown that someone who is capable of such cruelty is capable of taking it to the next step. You both mentioned that once someone has done their time, they should be welcomed back into society and given a second chance. I believe you are both hypocrites if you aren't willing to take that same statement to whoever has done his time. So gang bangers, drug dealers, even pedophiles - you should be more than willing to have them come around for a beer or an iced tea.

I admit, you are both much more understanding than I am - I don't even want a liberal in my house, much less someone who has broken the law.

I agree. But these aren't rational people you're dealing with. To them, animals and humans are equal.

Before anyone denies it, go back and review FR threads posted at the time of his conviction. Hi sentence wasn't enough for many Freepers, they wanted him dead, or at least put away for life.

I'm not a big fan of Vick, but only because I think he's overrated as a player.
