I have a brother in law that served a few years for a drunk driving manslaughter charge and while he was in he did the trade school thing for HVAC. He is now gainfully employed, makes a nice living, and is raising two great kids. Of course it helps that he's white and this is TX, but the point stands that if you make the right moves you can still lead a productive life of value after prison.

The right to vote isn't guaranteed to everyone.
Richardson v. Ramirez - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't understand where the argument is? Are BoldW et all arguing that felony disenfranchisement isn't a thing or isn't constitutional?
Also as a non-felon I think felony disenfranchisement is bullshit and never made sense to me.

I don't know what the argument is either. Serves me right for even reading Keg's posts. In his post he seemed to be implying that the right to vote is not in the constitution. I was simply showing him he is wrong on that point. It had nothing to do with whether it's a blanket right or can be taken away, which obviously it can, and even states so in the constitution. That being said, I'm not much for disenfranchisement either, except in cases of mental illnesses which reduce capacity to reason rationally.

Ah okay, so it's just a misunderstanding where you read
and thought it said, "Voting rights aren't discussed in the constitution" or something.

it wasnt at all complicated but let me break it down for you. your libtard pal Chanur suggested that the right to vote (as applies to ex cons) is guaranteed by the constitution. i politely pointed out that this is unequivocly false. then your dumb ass jumped in and started chimping out rattling off a bunch of amendments that have nothing to do with voting rights as pertains to ex cons.

i thought america was great cuz the constitution is a list of things that the government is not allowed to do, not a checklist of privileges that I have.
Is Keg suggesting that America is a fascist or socialist nation that limits a mans freedoms? Man, thats a real left wing thing to say, gotta say i am disappointed that he hates America so much.

You said felony disenfranchisement is bullshit, but complete disenfranchisement is only still around in two states.

Well, firstly prison is a place where they suspend your rights, voting is one of those included. It goes back to the Greeks. The idea is that's part of the punishment, you don't get your say...
Secondly, I would say that most prisons should be a place where you don't have the capacity to be properly informed about issues to vote intelligently. Not trying to claim anyonedoesvote intelligently, but isn't the basic point of prison that you are cut off from the outside world?
Uh huh. That's a real nice list. Did you try *gasp* actually reading the comments of all the people visiting the site. Here's a few gems for you from the first two pages. These are far from cherry picked if you read through the majority of comments. Keep in mind that these are people who still have hope. As soon as hope is removed from the equation it's extremely likely they will go back to crime, and I'm sure if you're honest with yourself you wouldn't be to thrilled of working for $10.50 at a Cherry farm for the rest of your life after serving who knows how long in jail....
