Be a consultant.

Bill more, work less and you don't have to do internal politics.

Bail at 3 and go for a walk.

How do you reconcile cases of wrongful imprisonment?

"A restorative justice program aims to get offenders to take responsibility for their actions, to understand the harm they have caused, to give them an opportunity to redeem themselves and to discourage them from causing further harm."

What about this idea doesn't appeal to you? Why do you prefer to have them suffer?

No one cares about your stuff as much as you do.

In the strongest possible terms, I reject this entirely.

I can only recommend you read the strong counter opinions to your position.

I wish you well. But I wont participate in these groups.

I accept this.

But I don't actually see how that is different than religion. Religions have failed many times throughout history.

Modern society has been working well enough for a while now. How long do we have to do it before we can ditch these superstitions?

Humanity doesn't have a single example where the opposite has been true.

More judgemental than the church? How do you reconcile the entire gay communities experience with this statement?
