    Strange, I thought we were talking about registered sex offenders. Did you forget or just realize that you pulled that number directly from your ass?

    If you want to make rules for this discussion, how about we start with you agreeing to stop making shit up?

      Yes, registered sex offenders are a subset of the people convicted of crimes. What’s strange about that?

      And what did I make up? I gave you sources for everything I claimed to you. Do you have anything to back up your claims here?

        You claim there are THOUSANDS of not-really-sex offenders that are registered sex offenders. Why you are so interested in propagating that myth, I can only guess, but you have not actually provided a single source that actually says that.

          And you claim there aren’t, but i showed you some sources to back up my logic, and you haven’t shown me anything so what am I supposed to take away from your replies?

            Ok. How about this. Since its really hard to prove a negative, how about we lower the bar for you to make this REALLY easy. Post 5 cases of a person whose ONLY offense was public urination that resulted in them being put on the sex offender registry. That is it. I don’t need you to prove that there are THOUSANDS. Just give me FIVE. that should be easy since there ARE thousands of registered sex offenders out there and if this happens THOUSANDS of times then it should be real easy to tease out a couple real world examples. Go for it.

            That is it. Show me just FIVE cases out of the literally millions of people that have been put on the sex offender registry and I will concede that it could indeed be THOUSANDS.

            If you cannot find even FIVE people this has actually happened to, then you have to concede that it is a made up bullshit argument.

            How about that?
