not child malesters! dead on the spot they should be!!!!!!
-
Yes....but it all depends on if they want the second chance and if they have really changed or not
-
Yes, the first mistake, you should learn. The famous phrase: you learn from mistakes. Doing something bad at first, and then getting a small lecture about what you did could increase your knowledge in many other things. It might make you think before you react. Most murderers usually murder because they take drugs, I believe they should be given another chance and stop taking drugs. But that doesn't mean they aren't guilty. They should be sent to jail for about 4 years, then when they get released, they will get a 2nd chance in life. Example: Here in Vancouver, there was a car theif, he was sent to jail and then released after he served his time. He was a meth addict whom stole more than 30 cars. He now is talking to children about the results of meth and other drugs. He also wrote a book. He is now a hugely changed man and he took advantage of his second chance in life.

I would love to say yes, but I think that to everything there must be boundaries. Child molesters, murderers, rapists, abusers and the like should not be given second chances. The key word here is "chance". Chances are also that they might do the same thing over again to some one else. If it were up to me, I would prefer not to take that chance.
-
Not necessarily. It really depends on what you do. If you go and kill someone or something like that, then you should never get a second chance. It just isn't right. However, if you do something minor, then you should have the opportunity to stand up tall.
-
It depends on the situation.
-
Does Your God Give You Second Chances ? Do something wrong and a BLAST OF LIGHTNING comes down and your dust ( HU ?) some things its not up to us to judge. ( however As a human, I would have to say it depends on the circumstances so NO NOT EVERYONE- but who is to choose who is fit for the 2nd chance and who is not ??)
-
Theoretically, yes. But I think it depends on what one does with his first chance.
-
For those who believe in the Bible there is a good passage addressing such an issue. Matthew 18:21-22 Then Peter came and said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" 22 Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven." I do believe in forgiving. I also try and continue to forgive even if they do it again because I know that I would want forgiveness and do not always correct bad behavior the first time.
-
Sure, why not. I am not trying to be the renegade here. If the person is really sorry and is taking steps to not repeat the same behavior I would give them a second chance. A third chance, not so sure.
-
No I am afraid I would not, once trust is broken it can never be repaired.
-
No.
-
If 'm not married, No! Hit the road Jackie and don't you come back no more no more. Break my trust once and it's over. If she's my fiance, and she's living in my apartment, I'll call kick her out my place without a second thought. I've been burned once and don't expect ever to be burned a second time. It may sound heartless, but I'm just defending my own heart from worse trouble.
-
I say the answer really depends on how much I love/trust my partner. She may be drunk and didn't know what was going on, but then, she shouldn't have gone out without me. I guess in this case, it's easier to forgive someone but as for second chance, that depends. Love is about trust and forgiving but then again, if my gf cheated on me, I must have love/trust the wrong person.
-
Never. Can't trust them once, chances are, they won't be faithful.
-
Never. Can't trust them once, chances are, they won't be faithful the second time around.
-
How can you learn if you can just forget the first time ever happened, they waisted their first chance and don't deserve a second
-
Yes. I've cheated and have been given a second chance... it's only fair that if someone did that to me, regreted their actions and was willing for us to try and work through it, then yes I would give them a second chance. It's a lot harder to forgive and forget than it is just to forget. I know now that my relationship is stronger for it.
-
Aye..How else do you give payback?
-
No I wouldn't. Personally I would never be able to forget, and would just be on tenterhooks waiting for the cheater to cheat again. It is an unforgiveable act in my opinion. Others may be able to forgive - I think it is a personal thing.
-
Never. There are a lot of other things in a personality connected to that act, and I'd like to avoid them too.
-
depends on what type of chaeter youre talking about. a chaeter in relationships-no because they would keep cheating on you behind your back a cheater in games- still no because they without a doubt woould cheat again
-
If they cheated me in a game, I would not play with them again.
-
Give them a second chance to cheat again is what would happen! And again and again.... I can't see why people cheat... They obviously have some issues with themselves. NO way I'd never be dumb enough to give a second chance!
-
Married 19 years and my wife cheated on me. She slept with a guy she had met at work. It took her 4 years to tell me as it ate her up inside...sleepless nights etc. We are marking our 25th anniversary soon. She has changed- mostly her faith and her daily routine. This all helps me to trust her again. I never will forget and see the reminders that bring tears to her eyes, everyone reacts differently. I looked the situation over and decided to give her another chance. Too much of todays world is instant satisfaction. Take a while and see. You will feel better knowing you thought your decision out completely.
-
I did, my husband cheated on me with a 20yr old 3 years ago, i chucked him out, he begged to come back and after a fashion i let him, cause i had 2 babies and i love him dearly. Yes i was hurt to say the least, and no i will never forget what happened, but to be honest we are stronger for it happening and i KNOW it would never happen again, and HE knows just how lucky he is. Everyone deserves a second chance, but definitely not a third or fourth.
-
I would not, that's like signing on the dotted line, cheating is intentional. I wouldnt be able to trust her again and I couldnt live like that.
-
No way..They knew coming in that I don't give second chances and if they went and did it anyway then it's their loss. No excuse would be good enough.
-
Once a cheater, always a cheater... I don't give seconds - SORRY!!! I don't have time to waste like that....
-
well if he apologized possibly, well most likely, but i would expect him to know that He doesnt have my trust anymore, so if anything doesnt look "right" He's probably dumped
-
Yes, I believe that you have to accept that people make mistakes. If you love them, why would you cast them out? If my child did something wrong against me, I would try to help them, not abandon them. I'm aware that the love we have for our children is a different type of love, but I believe all are valuable and should not be easily discarded.
-
I did. I won't do it again.
-
Just a few months ago I caught my GF at her ex's house. I thought everything was great between us. I had total trust in her. As it turned out our entire relationship was a total lie. She had been continuing her relations with him. I did let her come back but the trust was totally gone. Our relationship went from great to awful overnight. Needless to say within a month she moved back in with him. So my answer would be NO second chance as a valuable lesson learned.
-
I cheated on my GF of 3 years and I know I could never do it again. People definatly change because I know I have. I've been trying my best to get back with her for the past 2 months. Is there any way someone out there can give me some helpful things on what you did to earn another chance after you cheated?
-
Yes, Iwould give the cheater another chance because maybe that person didn't mean do to cheat but there emontions may have got in the way or maybe the person did that to open the otheer person eye's to let them see that they are hurt through actions they may have hurt the other person but, if they admitted that they are sorry than and they mean it could make the relationship better than what it already is so give the other person another chance.
-
no point it can run faster than me 60mph
-
Nope. If he's willing to cheat he obviously doesn't take the relationship seriously. There's plenty of non-cheating fish in the sea :D
-
I would but if it happened again then I'd let them go.
-
No. Been there, done that, it didn't work out.
-
it would depend on if the person was really sorry...if they say that was a huge mistake and they regret it then i think so. My firstboyfriend cheated on me and he wasso upset about it...i ask him about it now and he says it was the biggest mistake of his life and he didn't know what the heck was running through his mind:( so i truely do believe in second chances not because u weren't worth it the first time but because maybe they feel even stronger because of the mistake they made and now they have to make it better....:D
-
Only if I didn't expect them to change.
-
Yes, as long as they know what they did wrong the first time around..:)
-
No, I don't.
-
No. Something are just unforgivable.
-
not everyone. if someone kills my kid i wouldnt give them another chance. Would you? but if someone cheated on another person maybe they would deserve another chance.
-
I'm not sure, but I hope that when I do stupid things people will give ME another chance.
-
I hate to talk big but I think I wouldnt give someone a 2nd chance after he cheated on me. i havent had this experience and i hope i wont.
-
Not everyone, but depending on the circumstances, if the person was truly repentant about what they did and you could be sure it would never happen again, then maybe.
-
I thought so, but the last time I asked for one, the door got slammed in my face. I guess some people do, but I did not.
-
sure you know unless they are a democrat
-
I think so. Well, it depends on what they did wrong in the first place.
-
No. Would you have given Hitler a second chance? How about John Wayne Gacy?
-
Yes if they are truly sorry and sincere.
-
Nope. Some people deserve zero chances.
-
Depends on how bad they messed up
-
Yes, if they are sincere in changing.
-
depends on the person ... some will grab it with both hands and others will throw it back in your face
-
No, I do think child molesters deserve a second chance. -
Yes
-
I think people need constant chances for life is a learning experience.Also if one does not give continual chances to others they will get the same.
