Interesting that nobody is bothering to respond to the stats that were posted. They just continue spewing the same hate.

Speaking of hate, you know who Valigator reminds me of? Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church.

And speaking of church, this question is for those in this thread that believe in God. Do you think that a sex offender can be rehabilitated if they are truly repentant and willing to follow the word of God?

I'm assuming by sex offender you mean people who've actually molested, raped etc. and the answer is yes, i do believe so.

Yes, I do. I don't think it's anything special about God though. I think it could be faith in anything. I believe that people can have transformative experiences that radically alter their outlook on life. Just because I think it's possible, though, doesn't mean I think it is probable. A truly faithful person may make more of an effort to resist harmful impulses but they are still a human being and still may be unable to overcome their urges. So while I think it is definitely possible for rehabilitation through faith to happen, I don't think it's anything we as a society can count on and we shouldn't base laws or policy on it.

And then there's murderers who kill without raping but yet a sexual thrill from it...go figure

Now, it MAYBE different if we're talking about statutory situations
I've talked with people in the past about the whole "it's power, not sex" and it seems like this is just accepted as some sort of received wisdom. Where is the evidence that rape is about power and not sex? I've challenged people to prove this in the past and have been given links. Without exception those links have been about the role of power in rape, and nothing else. So what they do is prove that yes indeed rape can be about power. What they don't do is prove that rape is always and only about power.

Yet we label these people as sex offenders for life, making them register their name in an online registry and identify themselves to their neighbors as sex offenders, essentially branding them with a scarlet letter. Shouldn't more of our efforts focus on treatment than punishing them in this archaic way?

My proposal is that a psychological treatment program should be ordered for those who offend, and the psychologist would be required to report to the judge those who truly had paraphilias. Those with paraphilias who cannot be cured would be ordered to follow the procedures we now have outlined for all sex offenders (e.g. identifying themselves to the neighborhood, register on a list) for the protection of those around them, but the everyday opportunistic offender, who represents the majority of sex offenders, would not. The non-paraphilic offenders would be required to undergo a period of treatment with a psychologist, and possibly a period of incarceration depending on the nature of the crime.
Rapist and child molestors should be covered in animal fat and put into a pit full of hungry tigers AFTER their gentials are covered in honey and spread across a catus next to four colonies of fire ants in Arizona in the middle of July for six weeks.

Does this include 18 yr olds who have consensual sex with 16 yr olds?

A great number of "sex offendors" are people convicted of such statuatory "rape".

16 yr olds are children. Execute the 18 yr olds?

Those of us on the opposite side are "society" as much as you are.
