Why not just put them to death instead of wasting our tax money in jail? If they cannot be rehibilitated why should we be bothering?

FYI...I don't actually believe in this. Nor do I believe that one heinous crime should be treated differently than another. I have always believed that these registries were a HUGE invasion on people's privacy and even unconstitutional. I UNDERSTAND the reasoning behind them, but if you're gonna do that, you should do it for ALL heinous crimes. Certainly you'd want to know if there was a convicted killer living near you or what about a convicted burgeler? I am not a child, so these would be people that worry me. Where is MTY protection from these folks.

Also, there are two types of Child Molestors in my opinion...well 3 kinds. The ones who prey upon random children they are not related to and those who do so to someone in their family. ANd then there are those who know what is going on and don't do anything.

Nope.

Yeah, I guess so.

I knew a guy who got put on the Sex Offenders Register for urinating in public on his way home from the pub.

Having said that, it was through the railings of a primary school. At playtime.

But still, they're not always dangerous.

There are a plenty in my neighborhood, but it all depends on the street what happens, there was one on my street not long ago, it didn't take long before there was a for sale sign on the house and the family was gone. As my kids grew up they were constantly reinforced about these things by myself and the schools.

Interesting. I typed in my street address, but it doesn't seem to be bringing up any sex offenders living on my street. But there seems to be all kinds of sex offenders in my general area. Kinda scary when you think about it.

Thanks for posting the website, Shorty, it's very helpful. I've saved it in my favorites folder for future reference.

Why? Don't you want to know if your kids will be subjected to Drug Dealers? I certanly want to know if some scumbag like Ken Lay is living next to me.

I think when you set a precidence like the national registry for sex offenders, you need to look at the broad spectrum of Convicted Felons across the board. Maybe I am going a bit far with embezzlement...but what is too far? What about Murderers?

Stymie said:

There are sex offenders everywhere, they just haven't been caught yet. The fact someone has a label in your block, doesn't mean you are less safe. It just means you know one of the people you should be watching out from.

i think we should ship them all to the moon. then we should build a death star and blow up the moon. that'll learn 'em!

Anxiety said:

But if we blow up the moon Brain, won't that affect our gravity here on Earth and basically recreate a Day After Tomorrow scenario and end all human life as we know it? Or is that part of the plan?

awwww... I miss Pinky and the Brain!

superspaceboy said:

all this shit is public record anyhow. if you really want to know anything about anyone you can certainly find out.

i think that is a fine system.

typically one will have to pay some sort of fee and reveal/register ones self to get the info, but if you really want the info you can get it.

that way it keeps people from just being nosey asses. Or if you want to be a nosey ass, you can by all means, but at a price.

I think even on the sexoffender site, people and ISP addresses should be logged and which profiles they look at.

No i dont care about drug dealers or users. the whole war on drugs is BS.

Early last month, I was at a friend's house, having dinner and drinks...just a nice evening.

One of her neighbors came over... friendly guy...seemed fine.

About 2 weeks later, he got busted for trolling for sex w/ 13 years olds on the internet and growing 6 marijuana plants that were over 5 ft tall in his basement.

Their house is now for sale. His wife and child (who I SERIOUSLY still pray for) were in Colorado at the time of the arrest have not come back.

As for having them in my neighborhood and the whole registry issue, for me it's rather moot as most sex offenders do not register and stay current in their registration like they are suppose to.

Yes, I've often wondered how many "sex offenders" aren't pedophiles or rapists but dated 17 year olds. There are so many sex offenders I hope that's the case!

psychodelicide said:

in ca someon caught urinating in public is a sex offender

so is someone who is caught nude on any of the beaches, even though some are well known nude beaches it is still illegal to be nude there.

ehuffnsd said:

But in Ca. on the Megan's Law website it lists the specific offenses.

Sowhat said:

i dunno, i've never been to it nor support it.

Sowhat said:

its likely like this everywhere.
but how someone comes across the info about their neighbor down the road is likely through hear-say and gossip.
which hear-say and gossip are typically a deteriorated version of the truth or total false assumptions/conclusions.

ehuffnsd said:

It's been updated, it give specifics

AnckSuNamun said:

see here is perfect example of where you should have been charged a fee for acquiring such information, and your name address and IP address should have been logged along with with your activity on the site.

Shorty said:

according to your link, i have one a few doors down from me .. 5 in my area..

damn they are everywhere.....they need to be locked in jail.

ehuffnsd said:

Someone urinating in public or is seen on a nude beach is considered a sex offender in CA? I never knew that. I once saw a man urinating in public; I wonder if that would be considered a sex offender here in Ohio? Need to do some research.

Not when he was molesting a couple of Vietnamese girls under the cover of teaching them English just a couple of years ago.
