You misunderstand. I'm very happy to create a complicated hierarchy of evil and give different penalties for different crimes. (I.e., send "violent" to "sufficiently violent".) I wasn't trying to say "all people who've every committed something that could be called violent should be banned from interacting with humans". I was just refuting the simplistic parent comment "are people with criminal records simply unhireable?", as if the fact that we clearly want to allow some reformed criminals to have some jobs means we can't permanently ban some other types of criminals from some other types of jobs. And you know what? If I'm sending my kid on something like Shuddle, http://www.engadget.com/2016/04/15/shuddle-ride-sharing-service-shuts-down/ http://www.engadget.com/2016/04/15/shuddle-ride-sharing-serv... I don't want the driver to have ever been in a bar fight ever. And for what it's worth, I do have a friend who got in a fist fight in a grocery store parking lot in college. It's certainly not damnation and I think he paid his debt, but I also think that incident accurately reflects on his character. He's a good guy most of the time, but I don't want him driving my grandmother around.
