OT. Change and forgiveness

And you wonder why you are an asshole on this board.

No I don't.

You are one of several people ITT demonstrating limited intellectual ability, buying in to outrage culture, making assumptions about others, and generally posting insane shit. it feels important to remind you that there are people out there who think your views are horseshit.

I truly don't care if you think I'm an asshole for it.

Northram should not resign due to wearing blackface or wearing a hood.

He should resign for publicity professing his belief in infanticide.

The photo is a distraction away from the infanticide statement. It’s amazing how that came out the day after he made that statement

I would "like" your post 100x if I could.

Not yikes this time. It's a point I've kicked around in my head.

It was released by a right wing organization...

Well, I think it depends on what you did as a "youthful act".and what you've done since.

I agree that people can and do change, but mostly they don't. AND the older you are, the less likely you are to change.

"I've changed" said every prisoner ever before his or her parole board, but mostly they haven't. Again, some do change but not all or even most.

Personally, I think he should resign. This incident didn't happen when he was 16 (as posted above, this is a great age to do stupid stuff). He was in medical school. That means he was between 22 and 26 (or older). Old enough that he is considered an adult by any measure. He can treat patients in hospitals at this point and he should know better at this point. So the question becomes, has he changed? And IMHO, you'd need to show me something that indicates you have changed rather than a lack of evidence that you are racists.

I believe some of his former classmates leaked the info regarding the photo as a result of his support of infanticide.

people rarely change. That governor should have just said "yes, that was me. I was young and stupid, and I regret the whole incident." Case closed.

Now he has to resign imo.
