      It’s so bad I generally refuse to identify being from there. When anyone asks I just say I live in misery, with swaths of lead addled lunatics. Some think it’s quaint, others understand.

    Why do I get the feeling that the goal of this is more to dilute the meaning of the term sex offender, than it is anything else.

    Weird how the party of sex offenders wants to ruin any meaning to the term sex offender.

        Which is why they were balls deep on russian cock and swallowing those thick and juicy lies, Until they found out the dick was from baddragon and the lies were a not-for-ingestion lotion.

        Desperate to have any (imaginary) justification for the impeachment.

    Well this is where it’s headed. First it will be teachers, parents, doctors, therapists.

    Then they’ll want to register trans adults as sex offenders. Then all LGBTQ people.

    Like so much of the government in the US, the infrastructure is there, ready to be abused. Change one line and it applies to all of us.

    Anyone not realize just how awful it would be to get labeled a sex offender? It makes it almost impossible to find a place to live, or a job. People will seek you out and harass you in public. This is an extremely serious classification that shouldn’t have anything to do with “culture wars”. It should be reserved only for the worst classes of convicted criminals – if it’s not actually cruel and unusual and unnecessarily punative.

      I love how everyone gets online and grumbles about this and then says I’m the crazy one for telling you to arm up. You have cheerfully ceded all violent power to the state and then can’t understand why the state is turning on you. Sad. This was the entire point behind the citizen militia. Lots of other left-leaning countries have this. The US is fascist becuae it doesn’t.

      Only if you believe that there’s a difference between an active pedophile and gay couple or a trans person. Some these folks don’t believe there is, and the one’s that do believe there is probably see getting a bunch of liberal teachers declared sex offenders as a multi-front win. Removes even stealth support for those kids from school so they are truly alone, gets the teachers out of school so they aren’t “indoctrinating” the kids with history and science, and it gives you “proof” that the left is full of the Jim Jordans and Matt Gaetzs too.

        The point is to lose, so they can stoke some culture war bullshit about how free speech is dead, the government is too big, the judiciary is too woke, etc. And if it’s allowed to stand, all the better.

        This is an exercise in trying to build outrage before the elections, because they don’t have an actual platform that involves making people’s lives better.

    By “support”, do they mean treating them like human beings instead of mocking and deriding them?
