Reply #8: That statement is so full of holes one post can't tackle it all.

How about this statement: "Most ex felons are poor because society judges them based on their criminal records thereby impeding their ability to re-establish themselves successfully in society."

That is the point you wanted to make anyway.

Your post uses circular reasoning to prove an invalid point. As an example: All the 9-11 terrorist were Muslim. My neighbor is a Muslim. My neighbor must be a terrorist. While the first two are true, the last is not a valid conclusion from them.
