   I welcome any answers to this very important question.

            No, that's not what she's saying....I don't get that from her post. She's answering a question with a question here in the light that the criminals actually don't even know their own nature. It's a 'norm' for them. So how can they even know what their true nature is?

            sorry, i was off dealing with the children.
            
            In my experience it is often the case that criminals do not have the same sensse of judgement as the normal person. For example i think that you would agree with me that theft is unacceptable, whatever the reason. There are families where this is the "norm"- it is only through educating the younger generations of these families that we are able to break this cycle.

               Positive education provided by the right people being KEY.

      "Convicted criminals" implies that they committed a crime, were convicted of it and then paid their debt to society. The word "loaded" implies that a majority of the family has criminals in it.
      
      I've known a family like this that eventually went off to start a company in the house remodeling business that ended up getting in trouble for stealing from houses. Who would have thought?
      
      Anyway, the main thing I want to say about this is that human nature constantly changes (or sometimes doesn't). It's all much, much too easy for a person convicted of a crime to be living right besides you for 15 years and not even know about their crimes.

         In this case, much of the family does have criminal records. Right down to the cousins. The crimes are on going as recently as last summer.
         When you said its too easy for a convicted criminal to live right beside you for many years and you wouldn't have guessed it... I call that a PRO CRIMINAL with a deep dark side that is well hidden!  The other thing you said about the criminal family and them stealing from houses.... I call that a REPEAT OFFENDER.

      Hey Lang, I think your question is filled with ambiguity to say the least.
      
      The generalization of "criminals" is where you go astray. Not all criminals hide their "true" nature. Secondly, not all criminals hide their past actions, because they have accepted that it has happened and the circumstances for each is different.
      
      However, even with that said, some criminals, like killers or serial rapists, and the such, will do whatever is within their power to keep what they do hidden, so as to abstain from being found out.
      
      Not all criminals are dangerous, some are just ignorant.

My question is:  How far will SOME criminals go to hide their true nature?  Cagsil... all criminals hide their "true nature" even if only for a moment in TIME.  Think about it, if they didn't... they wouldn't be able to get away with their crime in the first place!  I disagree with you... all criminals are dangerous.  Have a nice day cagsil

      Hey Lang, not to be a pain in the arse, but ignorance is bliss.
      
      I answered your question and then you proceed to tell me that I failed to read it. However, I still answered the question, even the way you presented.
      
      "think about it, if they didn't....they wouldn't be able to get away with their crime in the first place!"
      
      Boy, you need to learn how to talk. If a person is a criminal, then they GOT CAUGHT, otherwise you would not know they were criminals.
      
      YOU make the distinction that ALL criminals are dangerous. When in fact- the REAL truth of the matter is not all criminals are dangerous. Some people are criminals because they do not know any better or do not see a path to go down without becoming one.
      
      Criminals are not good, but not every criminal is dangerous. Your negative view is what makes you dangerous, more so than those criminals who actually do not hurt(physically) anyone.
      
      So, you think about that.
      
      As for the TOPIC you choose to use- Family claiming to be innocent loaded with convicted criminals.
      
      This singular statement is foolish. A family claiming to be innocent, but has a bunch of criminals is obvious not innocent.
      
      If you happen to encounter a family claiming such innocence, then I would suggest you stay away from the family and not bother with them. This would be a no-brainer.

         Cagsil... you continue to prove my point. Again you failed to deal with the concern I have regarding your reckless mistake when you MISREAD Mark's topic question. For the last time, fess up Cagsil.  His question was "Some Criminals"  Not "ALL Criminals"  As you accused him.
         
         Further more..  if he believes all criminals hide their true nature, even if for only a few seconds, so as they can complete their crime, Mark has a right to believe that and it has nothing to do with your misreading Mark's question as to 'SOME CRIMINALS"  Not ALL, as you accused him of in your response.

   It just so happens my ex-family is (imho) a drug addicted criminal minded family. 
   
   This family is manipulative, deceitful, liars, controlling.  What matters most to them is appearances.  As long as they appear to be happy, they are happy.  As long as they appear to be law abiding citizens, they are law abiding citizens.  They live in denial.
   
   6 members of this family have been arrested for a variety of crimes (armed robbery, drugs, drunk driving, forgery, prostitution activity)  and 2 have spent time in prison more than once.  1 member of this family set up a 'drug deal' gone bad (someone was murdered that night) and then turned witness for the prosecution.  This family member ended up being murdered, while her young child slept on her lap, by the child's father who had recently been released from prison and was on a monitoring bracelet.  The family immediately called the newspaper to request a reporter for a story on her - the family told me it was for 'damage control'.
   
   They are experts in talking their way out of minor issues until the issues pile up (such as 10 tickets for driving without a valid license).  This family is also very adept at shifting the blame away from themselves and onto unsuspecting & innocent yet unwilling participants. (wonder why I divorced? )
   
   
   I cant agree that criminal families don't know what they're doing.  Not at all.

   Hi Mark,
   
   I was not aware you had created this forum topic however, I would like to answer the question this forum topic presents.
   
   My answer is: If nature is wrong, it is nurture's responsibility to take over. Criminals may begin a psychological addiction to criminal activity while young, but just like any other addiction, it can be overcome with the proper care.
   
   It is both the parents' and society's responsibility to provide or provide access to this adequate care, understanding it may require deep mental help. On the other hand, a good natured person can be badly nurtured and turn out criminal.
   
   Even someone who does not show signs of criminal activity while young, if raised with severely wrong, be it via morals, values, abuse, etc, can have nature overridden for the worse.
   
   If such criminal activity is in one's personality, the first step is admitting the problem. I think a serious issue is parents not wanting to realize that their child could have a severe mental disorder. Instead they think simple discipline will stop such activities. Or, they the parents contribute to the criminal mind of the child by abusing the child while growing up.
   
   What they don't realize is that it is just like being addicted to a drug. For some reason, their child's body produces endorphins or other pleasing stimulants as a result of successful criminal activity. As such, the issue at hand must be treated accordingly. Just like it is virtually impossible for a drug addict to come clean and stay clean without accountability, so it is the same with criminal activity. Because of the legal issues of criminal activity, it is actually probably even harder for a criminal addict to seek help than a drug addict.
   
   Again, just like an addiction, the more the addict partakes, the more the addict wants. Thusly small fires lead to full fledged arson and killing small animals leads to serial murder. So do criminals have a choice? Yes. They always have a choice. It just becomes harder and harder to resist the more they give in.
