Is that like Yo Ma Ma?

Re:A-list? What?

Capitalization and punctuation don't vary that much across languages, so that's no excuse. If you're unsure of the spelling, you can check from a dictionary or enable spellchecking in the browser.

I simply pay attention to what I'm writing.

Rugby is where it's at. ;-)

Then you I would wager you pay far more attention to detail in your writing than other people purely because of the practice you have had and the almost Pavlovian response to typos causing issues.

Re:A-list? What?

[Razalhague]

Not really. I pay attention to most things I do, not just writing and programming, and did so even before I started programming. Before you ask, no OCD or anything like that.

Besides, I mostly program in statically typed languages, meaning that typos are usually caught early and aren't that big of a deal, not to mention that I've programmed a significant amount of time with autocompletion, which definitely wouldn't contribute to excessive carefulness.

recidivism

[circletimessquare]

is high among sexual offenders

rehabilitation is often impossible, because, unlike bank robbery, where the underlying drive is legal (desire for cash), but the methods are not, with sex offenders like pedophiles the underlying drive itself (desire for sex with children) is the actual problem. this underlying drive is usually organic: no amount of punishment or treatment can remove it

therefore, i honestly believe that pedophiles should be permanently removed from society

let me say this: i am a liberal. i believe in marijuana legalization, the right to abortion, universal healthcare, stricter control on guns, etc. on most questions you will find me to be leftwards of most

but when i examine the problem of pedophilia, i see it as a "problem" like homosexuality: the desire is innate and organic. however, homosexuals can enter into relationships amongst consenting adults. therefore, there is no rational reason to take issue with homosexuality

however, with pedophiles, you have their sexuality oriented towards children, who have no ability to make informed consent. you can see that pedophiles have basically been biologically cursed. its as if they inherited the gene for huntington's disease or tay-sachs disease: they have, through no fault of their own, been organically and genetically condemned to a life of suffering. they have been endowed with a desire that no society can ever rationally tolerate. i simply see no other way around the problem: pedophiles cannot be rehabilitated and they can not be tolerated. permanent banishment seems to be the only solution. through no fault of their own, pedophiles have been genetically made to be incompatible with human society
