why is it that people judge ex felons like they never committed an offense in their life time.

Oh, really? What part of the world are you in? I'm sure a lot of ex-felons who can't find a job, go to school or otherwise live a normal life because people won't let them forget their mistake would love to move there

Yeah, everybody commits offences but then again into certain degrees. if that offence is heavy enough to earn you fellony records, then that kind of offence doesn't belongs to everyday mistakes category. And if you have your common sense, 98% you'll gonna develop an idea into your head that, that person must be bad, not necessarily though that it's true. but then again with the record that you bear, not to mention that they don't know you or what kind of person are you, then consequently that would really happen. It is our nature to defend ourselves, so we always seem to take precautionary meausures when it comes to trusting somebody. There's a difference between imperfect person, evil person or stupid person. And the most person who could tell what kind of person are you, are only those who know you.

I say if the offender did something wrong and went to prison,they are labeled for the rest of their lives as felons,they took a chance and got caught.

I see that as a violation of the law.If they would have thought out the consequences before they did the deeds,they might not have done them in the first place,,,many don't care/didn't care and now,later on,regret their actions,but the truth be told,,too bad,do the crime,do the time and live with the result.

because, sadly enough, some people find their self-esteem and the only justification for their own misdeeds and moral failings in putting others down. I have just a misdemeanor for disturbing the peace from like seven years ago when I was yelling and banging on a neighbor's door for support and consolation after hearing about my mother's death, and I get garbage from potential employers and people I feel the need to tell because I am getting to know them all the time.

Because some have learned from their mistakes and incarserations,and that is the point of being in jail.Most never learn,but some do.

Some of us haven't
