I know I shouldn't judge

[Waldo 0]

It seems there are a lot of people on VJ that are asking questions about being sex offenders, or not being able to support their spouse. Wouldn't it seem wise if you've become a registered sex offender to, I don't know, find someone a lot less vulnerable. I'm not saying people can't change but.... well people with addictions or mental problems will carry those their entire life.

I see a lot of a certain ethnic group around here in Spokane that brings large families over and they all live off of welfare! When they do get a job they generally flush out all the American employees.

Am I thinking about this wrong or is this asinine.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I consider myself to be fully cured.

That was a long time ago, anyway.

I hadn't noticed, I don't make it my business to go around looking at other people's relationships and making a judgment about its validity. It's not my job, and if it bothered me what could I do about it, exactly?

How dare you actually speak, what so many.. think!

GEt your flame-proof suit on Brother.

I'm not allowed within 250 yards of schools, playgrounds, or Chucky Cheese franchises, don't you guys think that's punishment enough for my past sins?

WOW Waldo. Nice to know you do not get to decide who should marry and live in the US. How can you talk about mental illness and addiction in the same sentence as sex offenders? They are not one and the same you know? Do you have any idea how hard life is for the mentally ill thanks to comments like yours? Obviously not. Happy judging man, sheesh.

Yeah I suppose so. I would expect that there are people that do feel remorse about a one time account, I would just imagine that number would be a lot lower then what I see.

Not really sure what your crimes are but, if they were serious enough... I would say NO... you have not been punished enough.

I wasn't trying to start a witch hunt. Really it's not in my control. I do however believe that a majority... not all... sex offenders are not so by choice. How am I wrong in saying that someone who sexually molests a child or rapes a woman is either not having some mental issues?

The OP's concerns are the reasons for IMBRA, no?

Don't think so, huh?

I forgot to mention that they also impounded my van and didn't compensate me at all.

driving a van like that they should have executed you!

[Uncle Wally 2]

In all seriousness there Waldro, if you wanna get all fired up about molesters, go have yourself a gander through some of the galleries of VisaJourney dudes and their wives.

I'd steer you in a few more specific directions than that, but it's probably a TOS violation.

Hmmm... could it be because you are not a psychiatrist??? Amateurish commentaries on mental health have perpetuated so many stereotypes it's not funny. Example: watch how many schizophrenics in TV series are convicted or suspected of murder. Surprise! Schizophrenics are really calm peepz. And so on.

Those people are just misunderstood and shouldn't be judged. Hopefully, they'll move into Len's neighborhood and dance around the maypole together.
