[QUOTE="omegis13, post: 724124, member: 4945"] I get what you're saying man, but honestly, I don't believe we should allow the government to "strip" rights from people due to their past history. Maybe make prison sentences and fines MUCH longer/higher? Absolutely. But the idea the government can "take away" the rights of the people for whatever reason strongly suggests that the government is who doles out rights. If some person/body/organization has this kind of power, then the people never had "rights" to begin with, merely permissions. It's this mentality of "I'm doing it for the good of the children/society/(whatever 'noble' cause here) so it's okay to trample the rights of others" bit that is causing our nation to have as many problems as it is. Some things just aren't up for debate/discussion/vote/compromise/sale, and I tend to think my rights are one of them. [/QUOTE]
