[Facial_King]

So, this looks like a real clash of ideas between people with different answers for the question "What Would Jesus Do??"

Interesting:

Awww......where's there sense of Christian forgiveness?

Yes these people abused some children, but if they take the holy spirit into their hearts God will forgive them and they'll get to go to heaven along with all the sweet wonderful children of the world.

Oops, that doesnt sound like a good idea . I guess they could hang out with all the Catholic Priests up there, up on high, in the area roped off. Cause the priests have done a good job to, no matter how many young lives they ruined.

Christian forgiveness, dont ya just love it?

It's all a case of personal choice.
I personally choose to never allow a child predator in my environs, and these people feel the same way.
While I have a very developed sense of live and let live when it comes to lifestyle choices, pedophiles and anyone who hurts children of any age aren't included in the "let live" section.
I am with the citizens who don't want to wait and see if an offender chooses to reoffend with one of their kids.
Tuff shit if life after molestation is a bitch...ya walked the path to get there, deal with it.

And how do you "choose" to keep them out of your space? Do you have some kind of magical pedophile radar or something?

My guess is that more than one child predator has been in your environs at various points in time, and you didn't know it. Unless you've got that magic ability, of course...

The key there is "know it"...once that threshold of knowledge is crossed, the rest is automatic.
Without a doubt you don't get it, but I have very low expectations when it comes to you.
My thanks to state laws that require neighborhood notification! :thumbsup:

"What if you've got a murderer living next door you don't know, or somebody who likes to rob places?" Gaunce said. "It doesn't make it right to be picking on one certain group of people. They need to examine the cases a little more closely."

Kudos to the person who said that (in the article).

Just because you have the title of "sex offender" doesn't necessarily mean that you did something inhumane and unjust. An 18 year old male who has consensual sex with his long-term, 16 year old girlfriend can technically be arrested for statutory rape, which would make him a sex offender. We need to seperate people like that from the true, sickened rapists and molesters.

For the sake of argument, let's just deal with the majority of sex offenders, as usually a case of 18/16 isn't put into the system as sex offender.
And it's easy to know what offense was committed by the offender. I have no use for humans who cater to their appetites using our little ones as their sweet treats.

Thankfully, I don't subscribe to any religion... so I can be as mean as possible on this issue.

However.... regarding them living "somewhere" why doesn't the church lease property next to/near a prison? Gives them somewhere to live and a daily reminder of where they've been.

There, I have done my civic duty for the day. You know, I do feel better!:rofl:
