"However, I wish you hadn't insinuated that I could only hold the opinions I do because of a character deficiency." Your post did the exact same thing regarding individuals with a criminal history. If someone got into a drunken bar fight when they were 19, should that really affect their job chances when they're 35? Or, better yet, someone who was arrested for protesting? Should a criminal conviction for essentially doing nothing but exercising your constitutional rights bar you from earning a living? Not to mention, if persons with criminal convictions, especially ones that are not serious are not allowed to find employment, what do you think they're going to do? Who, other than society, do you think will bear that burden?
