Don’t you know that we don’t have free speech except as is approved by the powers that be? Wake up and smell the coffee. Freedom of speech was abolished with the push for political correctness. Don’t hurt feelings, don’t tell the truth if it doesn’t agree with our agenda. Remove all reminders of our history. Don’t question those responsible for the indoctrination of our society. Keep them ignorant and lead them which ever way you want. Deny them the education that is required to conduct independent thought because that is dangerous. Just keep them as dumb as sheep and make them dependant on you and you can fully control them.
Can you say police state? Try it and you will be hitting closer to the truth.

Rights are only what we have if they are granted and upheld by the powers and authorities of those in control. We keep quoting the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If these are not upheld and supported by the courts then they mean nothing. When you have Supreme Court Justices that who are sworn to uphold this document, sit there and say that the Constitution of The United States is antiquated and outdated law and therefore doesn’t apply and rules on precedents and then is supported by the other liberal Justices, where does that leave you?
God given Rights can only apply for a God fearing nation and that is long gone in this country.

Arthur, Banding together would accomplish little. Currently I am on supervised release and I would be in violation and end up back in the joint if I was to participate in such activities. I would say that the majority of those of us who have survived the years of abuse behind bars don’t want to tempt fate.
But besides that, Banding together just creates a group of defenseless sheep as we are denied any way of defending our selves.
It’s a police state and the sooner people wake up and recognize it, maybe the better.

And I second that sentiment. It’s group condemnation and it’s harmful and hurtful, not to mention ignorant and anachronistic. As a enlightened morally evolved race we would be wise to refrain from the hateful rhetoric. IMHO

Jeremy,
The right to remain silent is the bulk of free speech as it relates to sex offender registration. Sex offenses are considered anti-social behavior, and thereby America advertises the anti-social among the people. All kinds of anti-social media on TV and the internet. Its very popular in fact. Thus we are where we are. The world will not follow for long.

The War on Sex is not much different. People who have been convicted of heinous sex crimes tend to stay behind bars (not all, but most). The “released” people on the registry are made up of children who arguably should not be fully responsible for their actions, people who have downloaded images, people who have made nearly harmless (arguably, such as sex on a beach) mistakes and actual accidents (the classic peeing in public type stuff), and then of course there are some very legitimate crimes which make up a fraction of the registry. All of the above, once released, have completed their sentence. They are “free”, as were the Jews (and homosexuals, other undesirables, etc.) in Nazi Germany.
