Worse is looking at your state's sex offender database. At least here in California it's the law that the public has to be able to access names & addresses of registered sex offenders. I was looking at it a few years ago & was disgusted to find out one of my neighbors when I was growing up (across the street & a few houses down) was a convicted child molester.

Now whenever I move houses I always have to check it to make sure there are no sick bastards in my vicinity.

We have the same over here. They have also just created one for people convicted of domestic abuse, for wary partners.

Sex offenders are everywhere, though. Not to dismiss their vileness, but there is an element where society holds them to a different standard than any other kind of convicted felon. People love to cite the wive's tale of recidivism being the reason for this exception -- i.e., where doing your time is not sufficient and you're forever a modern leper of sorts. Statistically, it turns out that it's overblown compared with other crimes.

Thus my point being is that while we ought to be careful, the truth is you've lived in close proximity with convicted sex offenders for decades and didn't notice. Researching it now might be good on who to look out for under the wrong circumstances, but you're bound to make yourself more paranoid and no safer.

Are we talking about this kind of haircut:
What a waste of a good rape van.

They're doing reunion show(s) at least aren't they?
Yeah, in London.

tbh i agree with the treatment they get. especially pedophiles. i know they can't help being attracted to kid but that to me is wrong in so many ways and i wouldn't feel comfortable with one in my neighborhood. living in a city as big and diverse as SF is different however as all kinds of people live there and there's not much you can do.

but it is incredibly easy to get on a sex offenders list lately. you can get on there for public urination ffs.
