    What sort of person would make a good AMA thread?

    I wouldn't mind the chance to quizz a criminal who has been released from prison after a very long sentence to find how they cope with the world after, the changes in the world they notice from before they went in. Or even a well spoken articulate currently serving criminal who's in for some heinous murders with no obvious motive. Even if he doesn't answer why he committed the crime it should provide an interesting window into the mind of such a criminal.

    The reaction of the other posters should be interesting too, how many posts before subtle digs become not so subtle and anger starts seeping through?

    That's a tough one. For me It would probably be a pedophile, i'd like to know what the hell makes them the way they are. Were they born that way? or were they abused when they were younger ?

    What is core sex? Can't say it's a term I've come across before.

    Edit: sorry I see your correction further on.

    Tabloid editor or journalist - just to see how far they'd go to get a story and and what's their moral stance on celebrity intrusion.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Either someone from Pavee Point or Una Mullaley /louise onneill but you wouldn't probably get a straight answer off them , or one that doesn't suck up or pander to them

    Even someone who lives on an island with a small population should be interesting enough

    There's an American ex con on Youtube (TheAfterPrisonShow) who vlogs about his life after prison, I think he did something like 8 years for drug dealing and illegal possession of a firearm.

    Interesting guy to listen to, he gives the inside scoop to what life is like inside American prisons, stuff that prison documentaries don't tell you about.
