I didn't make the bullshit laws. I can't change the past, but I hope I can help others avoid being labeled as criminals.I'd like to apologize to you, sir, for the treatment with which you've been met. Too many aren't able to see that the past cannot be undone and that trying to help some of those you would have once destroyed is more than most would do, and certainly more than you have to do.Thank you for your insights, and while I admittedly do share the bitter sentiments of my fellows here, I know nobody is born knowing everything. You changed. That's all anyone should ever ask of another person -- to change for the better. For what it's worth, you seem to have decided to do that. You're an excellent human being today, apparently (you don't beat your wife or anything, right? Right, of course not). The fact that a year ago you were a life-ruining monstrosity doesn't have the power to change today, just as today doesn't have the power to change the past. Punishment helps nothing, it only satisfies petty desires for revenge and a "fair" (i.e. vengeful) society. Punishing others is worse than a waste of time: it does nothing but harm to them and makes them wish to do the same back to you.Seriously, don't we all agree that one of the things wrong with our justice system in this age is it's insistance on inflicting suffering for no gain whatsoever to those who have harmed no one but themselves? Shouldn't law be *only* about prevention and rehabilitation? Causing more pain and spewing more anger only invites the same to be thrown back at you. It sucks and it's hard, but it's the truth -- anger is virtually never helpful.In short, wtf is wrong with some of you. Let him teach what he has to teach. Damn, peoplez, be selfish and learn what you can if nothing else.
