Quote from Tomates;113258:
Better to know then not to know.
If you think it helps then be my guest to stare down that one neighbor who was a offended someone 20 years ago. It doesn't.
1. If someone
really wanted to get to you, they probably can no matter how much you think you're safe.
2. Relying on a list such as this results in a sense of security. But the biggest danger will be, and always has been, the people who aren't marked on the map yet.
3. Not all sexual offenders are crooked and pure evil. And being on the map means they've served their sentence, one that we as a public has deemed to be "the appropriate punishment required for the person to atone for their crime". I know I'm being too optimistic, but I believe some people can change for the better, even the ones who are low enough to resort to rape or sexual abuse. Its not always the case, but its not always not the case either.
4. I find females take this topic far more in depth that I imagined in our last debate. I argued that such a website strikes an offender with a label that they will never shake off. I was told that females will be traumatized for the rest of their lives by said experience and it is only natural that the offender be burdened with the same. Interesting and very acceptable argument. But just because you were sexually abused or raped doesn't mean you won't live a good life and have friends. An offender, however, on top of having already paid for their crimes by standards we as a community set (jail time and fees) must now attempt living a life in which they will forever be known as nothing but a grotesque being who knows nothing but sexual abuse. Knowing that they have done this in the past, no matter what changes they have made or how much we want to be a friend, we will always hold this in our subconscious mind and will single out the person. You can ***** all you want about how much it ruins the female life. It does worse to the other side, and if you think they deserve it, then on to the next argument.
5. Sexual offense is subjective. As we have seen before in past examples, just owning some loli hentai can get you charged with pedophile charges and rape. Distributing porn can be a sexual offense in some states. The bar and definition of charges are different in each area. And in certain places in the globe, even I can be considered a sexual offender, just for what I think, say, or have in my hard drive. Additionally,a large number of these offenders come from mid-sex experiences, in which consent was already given by the time they started. At any point a female feels uncomfortable they can claim rape and they become a victim from any situation. I've seen this happen with people by me. "Consent" is an abused argument used by females during charges, and the "rape victim" aspect of things make it really easy to place blame on the male. Some girls also over dramatize experiences into something bigger than it really is. And again, while I don't say this is always the case, plenty of people take a lot more heat than they should.
