We do background checks but only go back 10 years. If we want someone bad enough, their record doesn't stop us from hiring them. Frankly, it does seem invasive to me to know some of the things we find out. That being said, we have more people fail drug screens than don't have a clean record.Staceynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-21103802784619980882011-10-27T14:14:35.888-04:002011-10-27T14:14:35.888-04:00It would appear that the only solution is to make ...It would appear that the only solution is to make a persons criminal record confidential. The police obviously need access to it but I fail to see why the general public does. If a convict is so dangerous that people in his/her vicinity needs a warning he/she shouldn't walk around free and un-monitored in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-64909967030038610512011-10-23T09:51:59.574-04:002011-10-23T09:51:59.574-04:00The current economic state of the country has allo...The current economic state of the country has allowed employers to not only be more selective in hiring but has also given them the opportunity to treat current employees without respect. It's a sad state our country is in where people are not valued.<br />Apparently this doesn't apply to people like Lindsay Lohan who not only seems to skirt the system, but keeps getting work.Ann Summervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300190648788509096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-11877491978800144722011-10-21T18:11:10.516-04:002011-10-21T18:11:10.516-04:00Landlords, especially corporate landlords, are exc...Landlords, especially corporate landlords, are excluding people with misdemeanor and felony convictions too.

We all make mistakes & in your 30s & 40s you are (most of the time) a more mature version of your teen & 20s self. The US system seems a lot more punitive than in Australia where I live.

We have become a paranoid, narrow-minded society. Yes, there are people that we need to watch out for, but when does it stop?
