Good post Shelley, Meghan's law is great IMO, wish they had a similar program for murderers or other violent felons.
Yeah, lots of killers get out after a decade or so, just labeled a felon, which we all know is a broad definition and certainly doesnt dictate who a person might be after their "crime". A murder though? Too many are done in cold blood and yes, I believe like sex offenders, they are hard to reform but again (cold blooded murderers), how do you distinguish the different ones.
I check my local registered sex offenders list regularly too, BTW.

Honestly dean, would you go out and drink with a convicted reformed sex offender?
If the answer to that question is no and it probably is. You shouldn't be condoning that we speak to sex offenders via the internet and the good people not knowing about it. Yeah they are reformed but their victims will never have that feeling of a normal existance again.
Convicted sex offenders should be locked up and they key thrown away. Period. They are the scum of the earth and lowest of the lowest to call them animals would be an insult to animals.
There was a sex offender in the news/papers here in the uk about two months ago who (I sure got set free) or he served something stupid like 6 months. Society took the law into their own hands and chopped his manhood off. The justice system works for sex offenders in the way they'll get 2 years (if convicted) out in 12 months to do it all again and the expense of ruining someones life.
Castrate them, that will stop them in their tracks.
I think they go WAY too easy on these perverts too. Some of these people are not even arrested. They put restraining orders out and the person goes to court. ITs all really messed up. Freaking perverts man. I agree... They should be punished like murders! Child pedophiles and rapists.
