Obama administration creates policy to sue businesses that don’t hire ex-convicts.

You'll fuck over the business owners and YOURSELF with more taxes for private prisons because if these "ex-cons" can't get legal work, it is much easier to become a con artist, a drug dealer or a thief on YOUR streets.

These snooty business owners everyone portrays and protects here can burn in hell. When those convicts have no means of survival when you turn them down I hope they go steal their food from you.

Agreed. It's not just felons, bank robbers, etc. Busted for pot and a DUI 16 years ago. Why should I still suffer? Looks like the retards took over the thread.

You probably lived in a rich community where the cops have nothing better to do but appease the rich with their overwhelming presence as well.

Its called trust and respect. everyone needs to show both. its not given its EARNED. Y don't these peps go out and do 100-200 hr off community stuff and then ask for a job? a job is earned not given.. give me a reason.

Obama needs to set up work programs and hire ex cons. this will help keep crime down and cons straigten out their lives. It will also help older people who companies won't hire due to their age.

They earned respect by doing their time.

They'll earn their trust when they are given a chance to do so.

NO!! They were FORCED to do there time. Why not do some good when NOT FORCE too?

They earned respect by doing their time? Are you kidding me? You don't have a clue what the word respect means. Idiot!

Usually people convicted of possession were busted for something worse, like selling.

They need to erace criminal records for minor crime after a couple of years. Smoking a joint shouldn't be a life sentence or a DUI.

A good point, it's a hard test but it's one that a lot of people with clean records, who are also looking for jobs, have passed routinely.

yes I agree.

They "earned" respect by doing their time? How in the hell do you figure that? If anything, they likely became better criminals, after their "education" in prison.

No WONDER you have so much bad karma. You are TRULY one dumb motherfucker.

Your so energized by your feelings you forget what the word respect means.

: a relation or reference to a particular thing or situation <remarks having respect to an earlier plan>

To dumb it down to your level.

The lady justice holing the scales is a reference to balancing truth and fairness. When a crime is committed it is placed on one of the scales and is balanced with an equal punishment.

Lady justice? Do you not have respect for any human being to begin with?

200 hours is just a month. The guy thins that 2 weeks to a month of voluntary community service would put you back in good graces with a lot of employers.

If true, you should not complain nor wait, you should just get on with it and do it! Or, does that idea particulary gall you? Because if it does, there's some attitude problem that an employer probably would not, that is probably correlated with getting convicted or having served time.

So in that case, avoiding ex-cons would indeed be rational and work-related.

Wow that's an advanced comment, you must be a Level 3 or above shill.

That's one meaning of "respect", not the one used in the quoted posts.

: a relation or reference to a particular thing or situation <remarks having respect to an earlier plan>

That's what respect means.

People are saying I'm stupid because I'm flying over their heads or they simply abhor my ideals.

Keep excellent records of every application and especially the interview.

Make honest notes, and add some key "observations" to the ones that you don't want to hire.

"arrived late", "did not seem to understand the job or x-task." "was unable to answer how to deal with x-y-z problem", "unkept", etc.


That way, you have reasons for not hiring anyone that transcends all the "protected" groups. You just didn't hire them because they sucked at the interview.


I've never had to hire anyone I didn't want to hire. Never had any complaint stick either.

The point is if a employer sees a great effort in a persons, past or present work ethics.... It makes a difference ..IE earn IT

I said someone earns respect for doing their time.

There are some bound to jail forever.

I can show enough respect to try and let them get a job. If they fuck it up they are going in for much longer.

Soon you will have to hire ex cons as moderators on GLP ;)
Would be interesting with some jihadi moderators...

or maybe not.


Love the Madaly Murray O'Hairs in the thread too, she hired excons, they took her life.
[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

but that's what Obama wants, he wants you dead.
His policies are suicide policies and socialist forcing, people should be free to decide if they want to hire cons or not, if they do it's their problem.

This forcing them to do it, very Unamerican but very socialist Sweden.

This sort of thinking has been long overdue. If someone commits a crime or makes a mistake - they are punished by the Justice System. They have paid their debt. The system of thinking that is in place now continues to punish people by making them unemployable or making by employing them in positions that have are ungainful.

Once the debt is paid, individuals should have no problems getting a job - none. The insurance companies and their risk management which is really just profit management are largely responsible for this bias. They manipulate objective ethical considerations by proposing scenarios that demonize people who have been convicted of crimes and create a fear which perpetuates their profit system.

I ain't got time for that! And neither should YOU!

Obama is an enemy of your people.

Same as the politicians over here, 90% traitors and enemies among the politicians.

Great! Now blacks will be able to get jobs and not mooch off the welfare system instead.

After Obama's convicted of all his crimes, he's gonna need a job... makes sense.

Like I said befor EARN it! So you want me to put my wife and 2 children with 2 felons in my store while I have to goto the east coast for a bus trip...????FUCK YOU

No it's classic socialism. Socialists always pull bs like this, that's what those spawns of satan always do.

If someone at your company has earned 20 years of dedicated service and he gets put in jail for a month are you going to fire him?

He didn't do any crime against the company.

My employer has to take them back with seniority, so I come from a much different perspective. We earn our respect from doing our jobs, if some shit happens in life it's immoral to throw someone away. They we're dedicated to doing their job. Human beings are flawed. Most people in their lifetime will do something that could possibly land them in jail. In fact, owners of businesses like Enron have proven to be even more criminal than the employees they refuse to hire.

If someone has a drug problem would you let them go to rehab and come back? Would you let someone go because they are a
"health risk"?

It's cruel to me how businesses can treat these situations.

That's why the whole idea should be disposed of altogether and why stupid laws like these grind against the broken back of capitalism as it clings on to us for dear life; pulling us down to poverty.

It's called humanitarianism.
