May 16, 200719 yr That's a complete botched job of an argument. You've thrown out a wild analogy (two now, actually.) I've offered a concrete example of a crime that lands you as on a sex offender registry. That's not an analogy at all. The fact is, if the law impedes civil liberty, then we have to consider the ramifications, despite the cries for 'full speed ahead' from well meaning but ill-informed people. And what do you think streakers get convicted of? They get convicted of indecent exposure. I will go out on a limb and offer a solution to the problem......don't streak and you are not listed as a sexual predator.
May 16, 200719 yr I will go out on a limb and offer a solution to the problem......don't streak and you are not listed as a sexual predator. Absolutely. And, if you choose to streak, you assume all that may or may not result from your act.
May 16, 200719 yr I would like to return to the Pandora's Box argument. I am not troubled by the seeking out of registered sex offenders. What I am troubled by is the 1) COMPELLED disclosure 2) from a private entity 3) of information as of yet UNKNOWN to the government 4) for purposes that do not appear to be clear. I've been afraid of this since the Patriot Act was passed. This is just the beginning.
May 16, 200719 yr I will go out on a limb and offer a solution to the problem......don't streak and you are not listed as a sexual predator. I agree but I do not think that is in any way common knowledge that that is one of the repercussions of streaking.
May 16, 200719 yr I agree but I do not think that is in any way common knowledge that that is one of the repercussions of streaking. Let's not get too far afield. We are talking about convicted sex offenders who must register. We are not talking about streakers. To extend the discussion serves no valid purpose other than to dilute the real issue. Convicted sex offenders who must register are parasites on society in general and on our children in particular. Streakers are, for the most part, harmless although they are obviously quite foolish.
