    I've never been real big on the whole "ban the box" bandwagon.

    Most employers are going to background check these days, whether they ask you or not. The best strategy for felons is to leave the box blank and write "Will discuss during interview" to have a chance to hopefully explain oneself before the scarlet letter pops up on the background check report.

    I will tell you one thing though: cities offering employers a $10K tax incentive to take a chance and hire a released convict? A hell of a lot cheaper than the $26K+ it costs to house/feed/provide-free-healthcare for someone in jail/prison year after year. No, that's called doing taxpayers a service. Believe that.

As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E

    If a convict wants a chance to turn his/her life around, this is great and a big help; but if he/she is going to use this as a way to get inside a place where they normally wouldn't be able to, to rob, steal, or kill, it's bad.

    The employer is the one who has to decide whether his/her life or business is worth $10,000, or not.

    No. But, we want to move towards this ideal civilization that has no consequences for bad decisions. Want to fuck off in school growing up? Join a gang? Start a criminal career as a child? No worries. Uncle sugar will put a gun to the head of tax payers to subsidize you with welfare and food stamps to make sure you get what the socialists say you are 'entitled' to. Want to screw like a rabbit, get pregnant, and have no consequences? Get a tax payer funded abortion. A bit too tired to work? Fake fibromialgia and get disability, take the welfare money and go on cruises. Shit guys, the only suckers are us.
    "What sick, barbaric bastards.

    It's one thing to use terrorism to make a political statement, but the wanton mutilation and suffering of innocents? How does that forward your political goals? When done in the name of religion, how does that earn you brownie points with God?

    Fuck religious extremism. And especially fuck the "religion of peace." "

    So, lagcsocialist supports terrorism AS LONG AS ITS FOR POLITICAL ENDS....
