In response to "If you were caught having sex outside, should you have to register as a sex offender? apparently only if you are gay" by zeitgeist

I am not fond of the sex offender list. You do crime, you do time, then you should be done. Yes, people re-offend, but they re-offend with other

crimes as well.

Is there a murderer list? -- nm - Dano Jul 18, 15:44
The sex offender list is fine. The definition of who gets on the sex offender list is effed in some cases. - TFox Jul 18, 14:35 11
- My opinion, if it's that important that these people be outcasts from society - Will Hunting Jul 18, 14:44
- The list can't be fine if the ways to be put on the list are messed up as well as the lifetime effects of being on the list are wrong as well. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 14:40
- I like having the list. Don't want on it? DON'T RAPE PEOPLE ASSHOLE!! That said, an 18 year old having consensual sex with a 17 or 16 year old - Bacon Jul 18, 14:37 8
  - Someone I know....is on the list becuase him and this girl got drunk and screwed - Will Hunting Jul 18, 14:49 4
    - it's all jimmy buffet's fault for coaxing them into it -- nm - dogbert Jul 18, 15:44
    - When he made the deal his lawyer had to tell him he would be on the list. Don't plead guilty if you are innocent. - Bacon Jul 18, 14:56 2
      - Really? You clearly don't understand risk management. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 14:59 1
        
        Hey, per your IM I agree 100%. I am just saying if they are going to be let out anyway, the list is better than nothing. - Bacon Jul 18, 15:02
  - sure, but like TFox said, what constitutes being put on the list is definitely in need of change. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 14:39 2
    - that 'but' is misused. i was concurring. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 14:39 1
      - as was I -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 14:41

well there are predators out there who just can't get off any other way than to inflict fear and abuse, and now if identified as such you can sent to - zeitgeist Jul 18, 14:15 14
- I hate when the system says, "likely to re offend" then lets them out. WTF? - Bacon Jul 18, 14:39 13
  - Where do we draw the line on keeping people locked up forever - Kirk Jul 18, 14:46 2
    - There are people locked up now forever. We are simply deciding what crimes that applies too - Bacon Jul 18, 14:49
    - That's why you make these sentences longer. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 14:47
  - Life sentences for everyone? That's certainly not justice, and provides no room for redemption. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 14:41 9
    - Read it again. Life sentences for people that a board concludes are likely to re offend. - Bacon Jul 18, 14:44 8
      - I couldn't disagree more then. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 14:45 7
        
        We can agree to disagree. In my world there are less victims of sex crimes than in your world. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 14:46 6
        
        That's okay. In my world we don't hold people indefinitely in Guantanamo either. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 14:53 5
        
        Haha, yeah because that was the crux of my argument. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 14:57 4
        
        Well, since you were going off in your own perfect reality, I thought I'd join in. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 15:02 3
        
        My examples were convicted people, and yours is accused people -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 15:03 2
        
        Which is probably far worse. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 15:12 1
        
        Which is why I didn't use Guantanamo to try and make my argument. But if I could I would shove the "convicted" worst sex offenders down there. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 15:16
