Define "pervert". Anyone who is sexually aroused by something different from that which you are sexually aroused by? Or do you let the Georgia state legislature define it for you?

Not every criminal has the right to return to society, especially when he has proven that he can't control his urges (by having prior convictions).

and how on earth would you organize or institute that? your jurisdiction here is grandiose, Tricky.

Too many false allegations. Branding is a bell that would be very tough to un-ring, and given the periodic moral panics in this area, we can all but guarantee innocent people WILL be caught up in this.

Yes, all sex offenders, whether their crimes are against children OR adults should be identified to the public. They have the right to live their lives like the rest of us after they pay the price for their crime, but the repeat offenders pose a danger, and people have the right to know what is living around them.

If I'm wrong - I'd sure like to know
Minnesota has special "whiskey" plates given to repeat DWI offenders. I am sure there are other states that do this too.

I have heard that also but not sure wich state? They do have pics of pervs online here but nothing like a plate wich i think should be a law! And who wants to forgive can and who wants to look out after knowing of the sickness can!

If you would come on Great Debates and offer arguments based on any facts or data whatsoever, you wouldn't have people asking you what in the hell you are talking about. You throw around words like "pervert" as it it is an objective terms in psychiatry or criminology, and it has no such meaning. Your basic argument is "I don't like it so it's bad and the rest of you are stupid and mean-spirited if you can't guess why I don't like it." That kind of reasoning doesn't work on Great Debates.

"The concept of perversion is subjective, and its application varies depending on culture. As a psychological term it was originally applied especially frequently to homosexual behavior. However, homosexuality is no longer treated as a disorder in mainstream psychiatry"---Wikipedia

And you expect intelligent debaters to respond to you rationally, when you say you cannot forgive this amorphous group of people, a great majority of whom have done nothing at all reprehensible by any cultural standard, and you have no way to even know or guess whom among your friends and acquaintances is a pervert.

As for big words, you can't even put little words into comprehensible order.

You're the enlightened one who started (without bothering to look anything up) the thread that asserted that Barack Obama must be Muslim because there are Muslims with the same name as his.
