You’re right. People aren’t born criminals. They CHOOSE to be.

Every addict has access to treatment. AA & NA cost nothing. As a recovering alcoholic that has gone more than 12yrs w/o a drink, I can attest to the fact that 12 step programs work, and I’m an atheist, so the steps can be done w/o faith in anything.

I can see you make a lot of assumptions about people you know nothing about. I am one of the biggest critics of this country you’ll ever meet. Tell me: What exactly do YOU do to change anything? Do you vote, write/call/meet w/ your representatives? Do you donate your time &/or money to organizations that work to create the world you want to see? What do all those strawmen (immigrants, asylum seekers, etc) have to do with criminals & how they’re treated?

Do you have any firsthand experience in ANYTHING you’re talking about? I do, and you can take your “You’re wrong” comment and shove it as far as humanly possibly up your ass. Okay?

I always tell people RVA is a city where you can do anything within 3 hours. Not much is what you’d call “world class” but you can do basically anything.

Quick round up: surfing, kayaking or kiteboarding towards VA beach. Jet skiing, wakeboarding, tubing etc on many of the lakes and rivers. Cycling in the Blue Ridge, Virginia Creeper Trail or Capital Trail. Skydiving out of West Point. Mountain biking trails in the city or further out towards the mountains. Mild white water on the James, world class white water in WV on the New or Gauley River. Off-roading on the Hatfield and McCoy trails. Indoor Rock Climbing at Triangle or Peak. Outdoor Climbing at Belle Isle or Manchester Bridge in the city, dozens of spots in the mountains, or multi-pitch guided climbing at Seneca Rocks out in WV. Snowboarding or skiing at Wintergreen or Massanutten. Caving/Spelunking throughout the Blue Ridge (commercial tourist caves or undeveloped caves to explore.) Coasters at Busch Gardens or Kings Dominion. The list of stuff around the area is… extensive.
