Why not let the registry show their crimes? I think it would be a great idea, but the minute one person finds out about it, it will be a privacy issue and everyone will be up in arms about it. Which makes no sense because they are on a registry either way. I don't see why they don't get someone to lobby on their behalf to get the format of the registry changed. If it is that much of an issue then I am sure someone will do it for a buck.
A guy breaks into your house, kills your wife, and is running away from the house when you chase him down and beat to death. You are convicted of murder. Someone else takes to sniping people in VA. If both were released, who is more likely to kill again, the person that only did it once in a specific situation, of the person that killed strangers multiple times?
Like I posted before either way you are still a murderer. It does not matter the severity of the crime, just that the crime was committed.
It does not matter if it is considered mild or not. The fact is that it is still a sexual based crime. If you murder someone with a bat, or 100 people the same way or if intently run someone over with a car, either way you look at it you are still a murderer. What's the difference?
While some crimes are not punished equally, they are still crimes. In sex based attacks, if you have done it once then there is a high chance that you will do it again. In that case everyone should be warned of your actions. While I do agree that there shouldn't be a lapel pin or a hat you have to wear, there should be a way for the people you interact with to know about hence the registry.
Does this mean that if I buy a Zune player, I can no longer be held accountable for any music on said player even though it might be illegal, because the music industry got their cut?
I'm starting to hate reading/. on the fact that almost everytime that there is an story, some dumbass throws a remark about how it's so-and-so's fault that we have the problems that we do. It dosen't matter what you belive, but what can we do as a group to solve the problem.
So the tape is also a chilling reminder that in this war evidence means nothing--superstition, bias and delusion everything.
In short, most of our enemies who appear in this latest film are dead, scattered or in captivity--and by the very policies of military retaliation and incarceration so criticized around the world.
Posts above have complained that our freedoms are in jeopardy or that fear is starting to rule this country, and I smell bullshit. If you really think about it what would happen if those 23 people in Britan succeded in using liquid explosives. I have never once seen someone state that it was "impossible", but rather improbable for one reason or another. As someone posted above, there would be an outcry about how they should have banned those items in flights, but because it didn't happen they are bitching about how it's a loss in freedom or some useless bullshit. What would happen if one of the supposed attacks on the golden gate birdge occured. The government decided not to scare the people and didn't release any information about it. The american people would crucify the responsible person that should have warned the people. Or the attack happened and the government said that they could have prevented it by monitoring the phone calls or bank records. Again the people would have a shit fit, and bitch why they didn't do everything to stop it regardless of how they did it.
I read the news and see how the Democrats are complaining about the "Quagmire in Iraq", or the fact that we haven't caught Bin Laden yet as if catching him will suddenly cause Islamic extremists to say "Oh shit, we better not fuck with the USA". I believe that Iraq is better than what it was a few years ago, but yet again the media spouts that everything is wrong there and the US isn't helping. It's very hard to settle the masses when you have a group of people that are willing to do whatever it takes to get their point across. Take Iran for example. During the Iran-Iraq war they used unarmed human waves of people, called the Basiji to fight the the Iraq army. (These people daily rally and chant "death to america") It's very hard to stop a suicide bomber intent on dying and taking as many innocent people with him/her. Honestly how do you fight that? You can't, but you can try to keep it from spreading to your homeland.
I would rather lose a little bit of freedom to ensure that my life, the lives of my children, my family, or any other human being is spared.

It's just good old fashioned humor. Don't take life so damn serious, kick back and laugh at other's misfortunes.
I recently read an article that goes to show a little of what I'm talking about, along with the article that spawned these posts. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-06
