They came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up.

Point 1: It's quite a bit different than Religious dogma and the stereotypes that surround the Muslim vs the West ideology.
Point 2: Your constant assertion that those who choose to make specific points are being "shallow" over and over and over again are painting you out to be "closed minded" and unwilling to accept that others do not hold a similar view as you...
Point 3: As long as a comment is on topic, you do not have the ability to censor it. It is what it is...

Actually, some people change on their own. A dedicated decision is sometimes all it takes.
Technology does exist to change people, but I know better than to bring it up here, this being a conspiracy forum and all. I don't want to drag the organization through the mud. Some topics don't go well here. I know solutions are out there, put it that way. Moving on.
Back to my first point of people changing on their own. Dad did it with Alcoholism and smoking. He quit both cold turkey, and never went back. And this was a man who was in the bar daily. He was at deaths door with alcoholism. You have to be able to make that decision, hold onto it, and make it a reality.

Another angle to remember, is you can get labeled a sex offender without actually harming anyone. Get caught with pictures or videos and you are treated the same as someone who raped another person. A virus could potentially download pictures and videos onto your computer, and alert authorities, and you would be given the same label as a rapist.

No its no different than the hatred of muslims.
You're being shallow and failing to read into what the original post I was replying to said.
Child rapists are viewed worse than murders. Yet how is taking a life less bad than raping someone? I would rather be raped than killed any day on a personal level. It is witch hunting. Lets find someone to hate and hate them worse than anyone else out there. Lets hate muslims and sexual deviants worse than serial killers and child sweat shops. Lets focus our efforts and spend our money on detaining sexual deviants over feeding all the starving people on the planet.
Linking Muslims with convicted paedophiles must be the sickest, most cowardly defense ever.
What part of "raping a child leaves the child damaged for LIFE," don't you understand?
Murderers sometimes have an excuse, such as long term abuse from the victim.
There is no excuse for a sane adult to rape a child, ever.

You didn't read it. I said HATRED OF MUSLIMS. I did not say sex offender = muslims. Read it again, and again if you have to.
Try reading the article and the thread instead of reacting to the title.
This is an example of shallowness.

Not all sex offenders molest or rape children.
Please READ the thread before commenting.

The people I am afraid of are NOT the ones who have been caught; it is the ones who have NOT been caught.
Preventing harm from coming to anyone--man, woman or child--is impossible. It is inevitable.

But is indefinitely incarcerating someone, where all their necesities of life are fully paid for by YOU really the solution? You really agree with paying for these people to have a bed, roof over their head, three square meals, a gym, television and running water for the rest of their lives with not a dime paid out of their pocket? That sounds like a reward to me.

I also think sex offender laws are far to strict and that we are on our way to burning at the stake anyone who bathes their child or changes his diaper. Or even takes a picture of their kid in the bath.
Boy is that a stretch.
If we don't make life easier for sex offenders then parents will be convicted?
Nope. I don't buy it. Using someone who has kids as an excuse to protect someone who has sex with kids is not even close to being a logical argument.
Make life as hard as you can on someone who wants to have sex with or molest children. Maybe it will give the potential offenders a reason to think twice.
As far as a judge legislating from the bench in the name of fairness...that's a big steaming pile of activism. Fairness is a lie. The laws aren't made for fairness. They are ultimately made to protect the criminals.
Used to be, murderers, rapists and child molesters were simply put down. Now the law protects them from being put down by the rest of the public but doesn't protect the public from the criminals.
