• Moral Turpitude

  Listening to the debate tonight, I really enjoyed the phrase moral turpitude. What is it?

  Moral turpitude is a legal concept in the United States that refers to “conduct that is considered contrary to community standards of justice, honesty, or good morals”. It is of great importance for immigration purposes, as only those offenses which are defined as involving moral turpitude are considered bars to immigration into the U.S

  Okay, you say to yourself, but what exactly is an act of moral turpitude?
  Crimes of Fraud and evil intent: arson, blackmail bribery counterfeiting, forgery, child abandonment, and lewdness, and the like.

  I was doing well up until lewdness and pandering.

  See politics can be fun! So remember remember the 4th of november, and then…don’t vote. unless you care about…
