Why are you in this thread if you're not here to have an adult discussion then?

Well maybe they just not rape or sexually assault people in the first place. I wouldnt care if these people had a giant flashing sign above their head that said "CONVICTED RAPIST".

Given your posting history, this is unsurprising. How about if the person was wrongfully convicted?

guids, fine, whatever. I just don't get how you don't see how this is potentially contributing to the problem more than it's helping. What you're missing is that by making this person a social outcast and branding them as such, they're more likely to act out the very behavior that people expect of them.

If this was me, I would walk, bike, bus, or steal another license plate before I would drive around with this scarlet letter.

the wrongfully convicted argument is stupid, and asinine. there will always be what ifs, but at some point when making laws you have to stop.


Its not about making them outcasts, its about making the other people around them aware of their existence and past crimes. As someone who is closer to the criminal elements of society than most of you guys, I just dont get your sympathy for anyone like that.

mason,

That probably would have been a good time to actually quote guids, instead of copying the text into a quick reply box and making it look like CC wrote it. You and Aloysius man, we gots to get you guys quoting properly.

Why just sexual predators? Why not make people convicted of shoplifting have special license plates? They're more likely to be repeat offenders.

Given my "posting history", its unsurprising that I think convicted rapists, and child molestors should be forced to have a stigma attached to them? What does that even mean? You're an [censored].

When shoplifting, you arent preying on the innocent of society, there are very very few people that are totally ignorant and innocent in society, children are one of them. you accuse me of being childish, but than you bring up a stupid point like this? c'mon, at least dont be a hypocrite.

This is what I mean by your "posting history". Every post you make has you coming off as a jackass. Try changing it up and not being an insufferable prick like every third post. In fact, in the spirit of the license plate thing you should have "insufferable prick" as your undertitle so that every forum you post in, they know what you are.

the drunk driving thing is COMPLETELY different, its a different set of laws, lobbyists etc involved. there should be tiers of sexual offenders obv, and Im not talking about a 15/18 year old hookup, Im talking about the 50 year old raping the 12 year old.

[/ QUOTE ]

Those levels don't exist, so I find your argument meritless.

[ QUOTE ]
If their feelings are hurt, and they are the target of public scorn...good, they deserve it, or worse. If my 11 year old brother knows which house a sex offender lives in, or knows that the driver of a car molested some kid, I have no qualms about it, because he is safer, if at comes at the expense of "hurting a molesters feelings", do you really think I give a [censored]?

I find it incredulous that you have no concept of nuance and are so closed-minded that you can't see how damaging this law is. Kids like this http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/etick...ry?page=Wilson , who already have had their lives ruined will never be able to have a normal life. And you want to take that away from him? Do you really think I give a [censored] what you want now?

As if it would take more than one post to figure it out?

guids,

The wrongful conviction aside was a red herring that I shouldn't have mentioned. Never mind.

Who says I'm sympathetic? I don't feel badly for the boy rapers in our society, but that doesn't mean I think they should be branded with something that will force them to the fringes of society and basically handcuff their ability to live a normal life.
