Yes or no? If someone committed crimes in the past and wants to get a second chance to turn his life around and have a clean record, would you give him/her another chance in life? Discuss. |

Depends what they did. Sexual assault is a no for me. As is child or animal abuse. People who do those things could jump in front of heavy traffic and I would not not be upset about it. Fraud is another I would find hard to forgive. It says something about your character if you are willing to lie and steal for your own gain. Other than that I'm pretty forgiving. |

Murderers are forgiven and given second chances. Why shouldn't someone who committed sex assaults be given another chance to turn his/her life around? Sex assaults are crimes that don't involve violence or murder. They're less harsher than felonies. Edited by SSJSC, Oct 27 2014, 03:42 AM.

Sexual assaults are mostly violent. The reason I find them unforgivable is because of the abuse of power that takes place. They humiliate their victims and scar them for life. It's not something that can be done accidentally like murder. There's never any excuse for it. The types of people who do it are monsters. Murder can be accidental or there can be understandable reasons for it, depending on the case of course. It's not nearly as cut and dry as a sexual assault. |

Do you know that sex assaults are less violent than r***s and murders? When you r*** or murder somebody, you're taking their life away. Sex assaults can just be violating another person's privacy, like grabbing someone on the buttocks. They're creepy and minor offenses. I don't understand how you can equate a crime that doesn't involve murder to something that actually involves murdering and taking someone's life away. The society we are living in today is ridiculous, it's like Americans don't have brains at all. Edited by SSJSC, Oct 27 2014, 03:56 AM.

Rape is sexual assault. Even when not being raped, the act can leave a painful memory for years afterwards. Imagine being tricked into entering a beauty pageant, you get told to go into some guy's office and then he tries to tear your clothes off. It's humiliating and disgusting and it won't leave your mind. You can't go to sleep, you keep thinking every person is going to assault you. Murder is too dependent on context for me to say one or the other. Like my uncle killed a man because he was a wife beater. That's a somewhat understandable motive. But some people have stupid reasons for it. Reasons that mean I wouldn't forgive them. It's all about context. But with sexual assault there is only ever one reason and that's because the perpetrator is a creep. Plain and simple. |

There are different contexts of sexual assaults and different levels of severity that are involved with it. If you try to take someone's clothes off, then yeah that's considered r***. But if you just inappropriately touched another person outside the clothing, then it shouldn't be that big of a deal. All it leaves you with is a mark of embarrassment and no injuries. So it should be easy to get over it within a day or so right? Not all sex crimes hold the same severity of levels. It depends on what happened within the category of that crime. Personally, I think r*** is much worse than a simple sex assault. |

Of course. Even for the worst crimes, you never know the whole story or what was going on in the person's life or mind when they did it. |

Pelador, can I ask you a question? Would you be more traumatized with a stranger hiding inside your home for hours and when you get home, he comes out to see you regardless if he intends to hurt you or not? Or would you be more traumatized over some guy or girl just coming up to you and grabbed/touched you on the butt without consent and ran away? |

I will concede that if someone was high on drugs then most crimes are forgivable so long as they are clean now. But nothing to do with children or rape. I don't care how high you were, if you touched a child or raped a person then I do not want to know you. In fact I might just have a kick at your private parts. As for minor sexual assault like touching a person's a*** or lifting up there skirt. What does that tell you about their character? Is that the kind of person you want to be friends with? The kind of impulsive a***** who gets off on inappropriate touching? I wouldn't forgive them because I'd find it hard to believe that they'd never do it again. I don't believe those types of people can change. I wouldn't be traumatized personally. The answer to your question surely depends on who's being victimised? It would be different from person to person. Edited by Pelador, Oct 27 2014, 04:23 AM.

Even with sex crimes, some people change and some don't. Who are we to assume if they're going to change or not? Even good citizens can do stupid things sometimes. I think everyone deserves a second chance unless they break it again, which would be up to them and if they're gonna continue being stupid or be smart for once. Also, about your "high on drugs" comment, there are a lot of kids who get drunk on college campuses and then sexually assault others during intoxication. What's your say on those people?

You'd be surprised at what you might be capable of when pushed to the absolute limit. You'll think things and seriously consider doing things that you would never have done otherwise. I'll be honest and say that I've seriously considered doing some truly terrible things. But obviously I've gotten past that. That's what I can sympathize with and forgive rapists or murderers in some cases. Not all, of course, but some. |

Good point, but what do you think about giving every rapist a second chance? It should be the best way to tell if he or she is going to do it again because not everyone is a chronic violator right? |

I don't consider being drunk or high an excuse for rape and neither does the law thankfully. The law says that after you've served your time then your punishment is over and you should be rehabilitated. That's fine. Logical. However from a personal perspective, if I was an employer and I saw that you had a record for some kind of sexual assault, I would not hire you. I wouldn't want to take the risk. |
