You consider that “the most hateful kind”? Internet responses, really? Toughen up buttercup. Other people can run their mouth just as much as you. Don’t be so fragile.

You say you’re not entirely against it, can you think of a good argument FOR disenfranchising felons?

Biting my nails.

I started at about two years old and chewed them to the quick for over 35 years.

If I understand the first part correctly, you don’t think they should have the right to vote (the right to representation) if they haven’t fully repaid their debt to society? Why not?

Edit: What I’m getting at is why even strip the right to vote to begin with? What purpose does that serve?

The FL situation sounds messed up, absolutely.

I think we can mostly all agree on “paying” the debt to society. I put that in quotes because I don’t think we’re taking about fines which make it the cost of doing business for those in an upper income level. I think we both agree we’re talking about punishments for serious crimes.

With voting, I don’t think it should be taken away at all from citizens. We should have a say in our representation even if we have violated a law. I can’t think of any reason to take away voting rights as payment for a crime, can you? It’s been used to control and disenfranchise minority populations since it’s implementation. It continues to encourage systemic racism

Weird, I just came across this while waiting for the ads to finish to start Legend, a movie about the Kray twins.
