Well it certainly took you awhile to concoct that twisting of all our words, Quest. My point which you missed is that I do NOT live in fear, of anything including rape. And my children do not either, nor shall they have anything to fear. "...Inferno Darkness you can take heed here also, if you live in fear, it is only because you allow yourself to do so." Are you having a rough time spelling "infernal"? It's actually right on your screen. Apparently you've never been raped Quest, or perhaps you'd have a better understanding of this tragedy. My main point was that this entire thread merely spreads useless fear, not knowledge, of the "situation". We already know that the world is evil and vile and full of rapists, murderers, bastards, assassins and thieves. If one lives such a sheltered life that they do not already know this, and need some website to point out the already totally obvious nature of humanity, then one won't last long in the real world emotionally or physically. The basic rule is this : always support strength, never support weakness. Not to say life is passionless or compassionless, but when you make it "okay" to live in fear, you merely condone weakness and thus lessen humanity's overall strength. "Not knowing is fear." So do you believe that people who don't know the material makeup of the SUN live in extreme fear of it? Nobody knows, so we're all afraid of it? Do you think that knowing where the sex offenders that actually got caught live will change anything? Were you going to send children to random peoples' houses in your area or something? You will note that these are rhetorical questions, and also require no debate. You will also note that no requirements exist here for a topic to BE debatable. This website and these laws will not stop ONE single sex-offense that you can record or prove. So what exactly does it do besides spread fear? Fact is, for every sex-offender they show there are ten or twenty more that they don't show, maybe a thousand.
