You can call someone else stupid? Your the bright one who lost their rights due to your immaturity and stupidity.
Voting, to me, should not be restricted. I believe that is unconstitutional.
As for some sort of program to retain your right, I would certainly be open to that. Im not sure what that program would be, but if it could be shown that there is something out there that works, I would be completely open to it.
I also think that after 10-12 years, if a person has not committed another crime, the records should be sealed.

This is a Troll thread, started by a self proclaimed 'violent felon'. You can usually define a piece by the first sentence in this case that holds true.

Ok, thats not so bad then at least we have something to talk about. I can find a middle ground with you and we can work to some sort of conclusion.
A person cannot fully reintegrate into society if they are automatically separated from society by a label.

This is pretty much my biggest gripe. How is it that the constitution was written to limit the authority of the government but it doesn't limit the authority of the government for those who commit crimes?

My victim had a black eye for a few weeks, I'm going to pay for the rest of my life.
As long as questions are asked about me ill keep responding. Your post is a little childish. I'm not looking for sympathy here people aren't reading the thread plain and simple.
If you think a punch, a broken cheekbone and a black eye is worth punishing someone for life, maybe we need to reevaluate ourselves.edit on 19-2-2013 by onequestion because: (no reason given)

Your point. Of view in this topic is a joke. If your alive you have rights period. Otherwise... I'm tired of working my ass off to pay taxes to protect your rights while I do t have those same rights.

I just can't believe who people think they are making me defend my god given rights as a human being as defined by the constitution.
I also can't believe the audacity of the people here who think they are of a hirer jugement the. The courts to question the details of my case.
Who do you think you are? Get real. You don't deserve to question only my god or my higher authority has the right to question me. You know nothing.
