		<description>Hi tieki,

Like Eric, I was thinking of an island home for these people.  Perhaps a nice tent city on one of the Aleutian Islands?

		<description>&lt;i&gt;If I did not know someone who’s struggled with this, I would be quick to agree with all y’all, but because I know someone who does not deserve to be “locked away” for life I’m on the side of caution.&lt;/i&gt;

No child deserves to be molested, especially by someone who already has been convicted of that same crime.  We all deserve to live in a safe society.

You err on the side of caution.  Pray tell, why is erring on the side of caution to put children in danger?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;But what woman in her right minds goes on to have children with a sex offender?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Excellent question MZ. As much as I detest sexual predators, I have to say that women who enable them and refuse to protect their children from them are equally abhorrent to me.</description>

		<description>WOE put me on the vigilantism side as well.  Dad I love your analogy!  In the words of London Bridges... "Take the key and lock them up!"...

And Matthew, everyone is holding a respectful tone with you so I will do my best to follow that good example.  But what woman in her right minds goes on to have children with a sex offender?  That has to be the antithesis of wisdom.  Who knows what this man has done.  You don't take an alcoholic, put him in a brewery and ask him to start making the beer and expect them to be okay.

If I ever knew that someone in vicinity of my child had any sex offenses they would never see my children again if it depended on me.
Even most of the experts say it is impossible to change these tendencies.  

All the creeps on dateline remind us that these freaks are everywhere and I hope that everyone is gone for life.</description>

		<description>I just wanted to add my two cents. If execution isn't an option (especially if the victim or victims were children) I would like to see Eric's Alcatraz plan instituted!</description>

		<description>Put me on the vigilanteism side. Matthew, no offense, but I honestly don't believe your family friend has been fixed. It really doesn't matter though, to me, child predators &lt;em&gt;never&lt;/em&gt; deserve a second chance.</description>

		<description>Matthew - I'm not trying to take anything away from your story, but I'm going to have to go with Eric and Steve on this one.  I just can't justify the risk of letting more of these disgusting, perverted freaks (I stand by that description) loose on the streets because a few &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; not re-offend.  In my opinion, this is firmly in the area of "do the crime, pay the time"... these are heinous crimes, and "Christian" or not, people have to take responsibility for their actions.  If they really are "cured" and converted, then GREAT.  I'm sure they can have an effective ministry in prison.

Steve - This is one area where I have always leaned towared vigilanteism as well.  When you see these sex-offenders being put back on the streets and then re-offending... I don't know, it's just unacceptable.  I can say with complete confidence that if someone were to ever even &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt; of messing with my (future) children or myself or any of my friends and family, I would whole-heartedly exercise my 2nd amendment rights.

And Kevin, thanks for that quote. :) Definitely in agreement here.</description>

"Now they're talking about putting microchips into pedophiles so they can keep tabs on them.  You know what makes it even easier to keep tabs on them?  Burials!"</description>
