Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2911943, member: 2221"] I sure as hell will take the moral high ground, and it will be anything but sanctimonious, because the worst things I've done in my life (according to society), are: speeding, not completely stopping at a stop sign and other minor traffic offences, I may or may not have smoked illegal substances and walked out of a supermarket as kid with an unpaid chocolate in my pocket... and yes, I have been blind drunk too, without feeling the urge to glass someone, break into someone's home and threaten to kill them, stomp on a person's head, or abort my unborn child by kicking the mother in the gut. The bold part would implicate that he would be denied a right, which a high paid career in the limelight is not. [B]It's a privilege![/B] No one is saying he should stay in jail forever, or denied an opportunity to earn an honest buck outside of the public eye. There are plenty of professions which society has deemed being permanently unattainable for people with a criminal past. High profile professional sports are in my opinion, part of those that should be permanently denied once someone commits a crime of such a nature as Lodge or Packer committed, not to speak of Metcalf, who still tops the list, but flew under the radar. The example I am talking about, is the idea that regardless of your past behaviour, talent opens doors that would otherwise be forever shut for the unlucky talent-less people who are shunned forever once they are branded a criminal for much lesser offences (which is something I also do not agree with btw).
