I have a huge problem with publicly available registries, for precisely this reason.

Awesome... my biggest problem with those lists are people can get put on them for the silliest reasons. Wasn't it you to mentioned the guy who had to be listed as a sex offendor cause he decided to hold the arm of a girl while telling her it was stupid to jump in front of his car?

Indeed, I was. And one of the deceased was on it for sleeping consensually with a 17-year-old (althoguht the other raped a child)

Yeah, that's fucked up too. While i don't like th eidea of consentual sex between an adult and a minor, that's hardly a capital offense.... no love lost for the death of someone that would rape a child though...
