Anti-paedophile demo - Weymouth

Re-read my point. I want evidence for the UK. Not from a completely different criminal justice environment.

If someone started talking about murder based on US stats they would be laughed at, why is it any different when talking about tackling paedos?
Complete bollocks.

One wouldn't want to infer too much from the US system, but I don't think dylan's point that a Megan's Law type law would have broadly similar effects on co-operation rates is so inapplicable here that you can rule it out quite so easily.

It certainly, thin as it might be, represents better evidence than the whole lot of nothing you've produced in support of whatever it is you're believing in from post to post.

You seem to be one of those people who insist that the more firmly held the view, and the more potent the invective, the more weight your argument carries. Either that, or you really are trolling us :)
 
A very different situation statistically from the UK. The risk for a paedo of getting caught by the Police for being on the run would be considerably higher than that of being murdered by a gun toting vigilante.

Have you ever actually been to the US?

Or do you get all your information about the place from B-movies and late-night cop thrillaz?
 
I would be extremely interested in the results of some proper research using ibogaine as part of a therapeutic treatment for some sex offenders

I have never taken it myself, but from the accounts of people who have taken it it seems to create a subjective experience of inhabiting the minds of people they have hurt over the years.

Whether people actually feel the hurt and pain they inflicted on others or whether they just have a fantasy of this is unclear, but the drug does seem to induce feelings of guilt and a powerful wish to make amends.

It seems to facilitate what Melanie Klein called "the depressive position"

It also allows the user to relive painful and traumatic memories that they had buried in their unconscious.

I am not suggesting that the drug is a magic bullet, but it does seem to have immense therapeutic potential that is not being researched.
 
No. Very easygoing and relaxed. I just want a public register to be kept of convicted paedophiles. An opinion shared by a MAJORITY of the public.

No, it's an opinion shared by a majority of those surveyed (do I need to explain that "cold" street and phone surveys are notoriously unreliable?), and a majority of people who responded to the phone lines set up by a couple of red-tops.
Show me a referendum that supports it and I'll agree with it. Until then, I don't fancy the legislation that we have to live under being dictated by hysterics any more than it already is.
 
A majority of the public would probably vote to have them publicly burnt in the market square before being torn limb by limb and dragged through the town. Doesn't make it a rational basis for legislation however

They probably wouldn't, because when you're faced with a referendum or even a bill for something like what kenny is proposing, people tend to sit down and think about the ramifications, and just how easy it'd be for someone, say a friend or relative, to be falsely accused.
 
Anyway, as the circle continues I will let you rest in your lost reliance on US stats sure with the knowledge that a completely reasonable suggestion to allow communities access to a register of paedophiles is shared by the vast majority of the UK and vilified by a few characters on the outer reaches of urban 75.

Please provide support for your contentions.

Thanks.

16. No conditions shall be in place which are in breach of obligations under the Human Rights Act 1998.

Oh, and incidentally, pretty much everything you propose would be a breach under the HRA. Either stop lying to yourself and acknowledge that your proposed restrictions are oppressive, or stop taking the rest of us for a bunch of twits.

Either way, though, thanks for the laugh - nothing like a good ironic bellylaugh at half past nine on a Saturday.
 
You obviously do not understand the HRA act or the proposed legislation. The legislation is proportionate to what it is designed to protect, the right to life, and the right to privacy, i.e children's, and the right to a family life etc etc.

The mention of the HRA in regulation 16 is there as an added reminder to Local Authorities not to impose additional conditions on registered child abusers which are in breach.

Dylan's hysterical mention of ill written placards and burning torches shows that he is not even willing to consider perfectly reasonable legislation which attempts to overcome some of the problems that he claimed to have identified in US legislation regarding child abusers going missing. Regulation 9, in particular, places the burden on any member of the public who feeds a registered child abuser who is in breach of the regulations. As such it increases community involvement in helping to protect children and will improve social confidence and well being.

The ill judged reaction proves my point that Dylan's is not approaching this rationally, nor is he looking for realistic solutions, rather he prefers to engage in kneejerk rejections based on his own social prejudice.

How lucky we are, then, to have someone with such a uniquely incisive insight into it, and who is so articulately able to convey the subtleties to we lesser mortals in such a concise and persuasive way.

Clearly, you have won this thread, and it is over save for your victory lap.

I have not seen this thread as a competition, rather, it has been a useful exercise which I feel has helped to lead towards a piece of rough draft legislation which has great potential. Any constructive comments you may have are, of course, welcome.

I'm guessing that you get to be the one who decides what counts as "constructive", then?

*chuckles*
 
Differences of opinion are constructive. I am not sure what purpose your previous comment

I think you have a point here. Perhaps we could make signs to hang out side their houses.

You really are desperate aren't you? For someone who claims to be capable of a rational discussion, why do you continue to choose to selectively quote and misrepresent the position you oppose?

I am sure people who have been on the receiving end of child abusers find your levity towards the matter as sickening as I do.

I find your flippancy in the face of the growing rusty nail tragedy quite shocking Kenny you heartless oxidisation lover.

Do you know the damage caused by rusty nails? Do you know about the Mianus River Bridge?
The Mianus River Bridge on Interstate 95 in the Cos Cob section of Greenwich, Connecticut had a 100-foot (30.5 m) section of its deck of its northbound span collapse on June 28, 1983. Three people were killed when their vehicles fell with the bridge into the Mianus River 70 feet (21.3 m) below, and three were seriously injured.[1]
The collapse was caused by the failure of two pin and hanger assemblies that held the deck in place on the outer side of the bridge. The hanger on the inside part of the expansion joint at the southeast corner was forced from the pin that was holding it, and the load was shifted to the only other pin in the joint. The problem was caused by rust formation within the bearing on the pin, exerting a tremendous force on the hanger.

And you choose to ignore this. You heartless rust lover you
 
You are doing it again, even though I have never accused you of being a paedo lover, in an attempt to be ironic you accuse me of being a rust lover.

You are building straw men and then parodying something that is not there.
 
Am I? hmmm. I wonder why that sounds familiar?

So are you still arguing that the danger presented to children by paedophiles is so minor that it is equivalent to that posed by rusty nails?

In which case you must be on the happy pills.

I'm arguing that the insane legislation you propose is as lunatic as laws outlawing rusty nail sales. I am demonstrating that it is possible to manufacture a crisis and a legislative response from anything and that there will always be paranoid idiots like yourself around to accept ill thought out authoritarian legislation such as you propose on the basis of fear and misinformation.

Finally I am demonstrating that you have no sense of humour or of irony or satire :D

Rust lover
