    I guess this isn't the kind of "diversity living in a big city brings" that Anc is so excited about. :cylon:

    No it's not. However in the scheme of things it isn't a deal breaker and other positives outweigh it. I have never claimed city life was perfect, so not sure what your point is.

    Aren't you the guy who expects others to respond to yes or no questions with a single word?

    Yes/no does not accurately portray the situation, which is exactly why Space Tard's dumb ass tried to limit it that way. It's another fucktarded variation on "Have you stopped beating your wife?"

    No, I have not stopped, because I never started.

    No, I don't think "post sentence punishment" is OK, because I don't see disclosing your criminal background as post sentence punishment.

    What I expect is for people to not pull a garamet and verbosely refuse to answer a question they find inconvenient. Go ahead and claim I didn't more than answer his question. :rolleyes:

    yeah, it does accurately portray the question I asked at the beginning.

    keep dancing, ya lying fuckstick.

    we aren't talking about relevant disclosures either. the actual parameters were also set earlier in the thread... perhaps it isn't my reading comprehension that lacks?

    the only questions I've ignored are the ones, not ironically, that are set up to portray me as sympathetic to a heinous crime.

    So who, exactly, is the bullshit artist here?

    Link to this alleged lie, you fucking duplicitous hose-gargler.

    The original post was a question of whether to worry about a child rapist living nearby. Your first post was basically "It's been a long time! Quit being mean to the poor little child rapist!"

    So yeah, you're a fucking apologist.

    I don't need to portray you as anything. You're "out and proud" about pretending it's unfair to stigmatize people for crimes they have committed, that it is society's job to "encourage" you to not act like a criminal fuckbag. There's no ambiguity to it at all. You think you are owed second chances, and you are fucking wrong.

    You've got me there, asshammer. Nothing you've posted could be remotely construed as artful or clever.

    bored now...
    re read the thread and find it yourself princess.

    my first post asked the disparity in ages to see if htis was involving two minors. imagine that! you, misrepresenting what someone says. You're a fucking liar :P

    For someone who doesn't need to portray me as something, you spend a lot of words doing so. Whatever, you've been shown as a little bootlicking bitch for several pages now... all that's left are the insults.

    Double dumbass on you... yeah, that closer was nearly as cutting :johnm:

    Exactly as I described, you goddamn brain-damaged product of fucking gypsy caravan inbreeding. You're starting to sound like Grout with that posting style.

    my proof is right there in the fucking post... go read it yourself. Then provide your own...

    face it Alice, you got nothing here other than the need to call names.

    If I sound like Grout, it's only because he's right about you being an posturing empty windbag.

    Now go drink your PBR and burn some of that ditch weed you call pot like a good little self worshiping hipster.

    I didn't say it was a deal breaker, in fact all I did was ask what other people thought.

    Now, one thing to consider is not just if it bothers me but is it likely to bother the person I want to sell it down the road?

    It's a giant 4 bedroom + finished bonus room place. The kind of people who would want it are likely to have kids (in fact I think the yard situation is the reason it is so cheap, most people that want that many bedrooms want the lawn).

    The yard I can fix when I have the money (terrace work is crap, but some braces while ugly can do the trick until I have the money to completely redisgn and relevel the yard). But I don't have control over where this guy lives.

    Resale is important.

    Depends.

    If the offender was right next door or on the same street, I might not buy there.

    Same neighborhood? I'd probably still buy. There are three that live in my subdivision, the closest being about four blocks away. I've lived here longer than he has, though, so it's not like I packed up and left when he got here.

    I know where all the sex offenders live in my neighborhood. I'm not worried. :bailey:

    Honestly?

    Best to let Anne continue to call the shots, because at the end of the day you aren't going to do a darn thing. Your skill set consists of letter writing, whining, neg-repping and the silent treatment. In other words, cowardice. Not much of a defense against someone looking to molest a child.

    You already live in a neighborhood with sex offenders.

    At the end of the day RickDeckard, you aren't going to do a darn thing either. Your skill set consists of whining, neg-repping and the silent treatment too. In other words, cowardice. Do you at least enjoy the sound of your wheels spinning?

    Believe you me, I had no idea I had such control over RickDeckard, gul, and Ancalagon melting down.

    It's nothing I want to be responsible for. :(

    Yes, it is. But sex offenders are likely found all over town. There are people who won't buy the house from you if the guy lives nearby, but most still would. And there's no guarantee he'll still live there by then, though it's likely another will have moved in (see shootER's post). There are many things that go in to a property's value. Far more important are issues like quality of upkeep, any upgrades you do, proximity to amenities, etc. If the home appeals to you on elements such as architecture, transit and walk scores, then you should go for it. Just keep tabs on the pervs.

    A bit of advice gul, everytime you pretend to speak for anyone but yourself you appear the fool. Not that you'll agree, but it's true.

    Look at the bright side: Maybe he's not a child molester child molester. Maybe he's the Roman Polanski kind of child molester that liberals like Whoopi Goldberg & 14th Doctor approve of. (You'll have to ask one of them what the difference is because I don't know.) You might be very happy to have him as a neighbor. He's probably too old to ever become your son-in-law, but you never know. Washington does have gay marriage, don't they? Maybe in 20 years or so you'll look back at this and laugh.

    There's no such thing as neg rep Clyde, you look more and more foolish every time you bring that up. Mostly, we disagree with your dick comments.
