If you can't at least condone a convicted sex offenders actions, then I do not necessarily think you have anything to add to the conversation. I'd be more than willing to hear the "they deserve a second chance" bleeding heart story if you could at least admit their original crime that they were CONVICTED of is horrible and wrong.

Hey Dee, your first sentence here is a little confusing. Doesn't condone mean to overlook or accept. Maybe I'm confused, I just don't want to see someone use those words against you in a later post, or misinterperate what you're saying. Perhaps you were thinking condem, maybe?

No Plugug - I don't have much to say to that... I never have had a personal experience with someone I know or love being molested.
I empathize with those families, and I try to find understanding in this world to why people commit the crimes that they do.
What I'm trying to illustrate is that even people who are trying to live in this world and truly make an effort to rehabilitate themselves should have that personal right and a second chance.
Although the victims are the children, dwelling on the crime only extends the pain and the suffering.
Let both parties go through their necessary therapies and move on.
Picketing someone's home doesn't solve anything.

I think we can all agree there.

My bad, you are right, I misspoke.

Personally, I liked misinterprecate better and was going to start using it:)

I agree with what you are saying, and I would never picket someone's home. I truly believe that the Marietta people, for the most part, were just looking for something to complain about. These people do need to live somewhere, and no one is going to want them in their neighborhood, so what are they to do? It's a no win situation for everyone involved. But I certainly don't feel sorry for them. Sometimes the choices we make stay with us for the rest of our lives.

First off, they should DEFINITELY not be living together. Second, they should not be living in a politician's house. They should be living separate from other sex offenders and be undergoing aversion therapy with a trained professional on a regular basis.
