I'm not sure that that's true. There's plenty of rapists, child molesters, etc on them. We shouldn't put people on there for sexting or having sex with their signifcant other who is only a year or so younger, but we shouldn't prosecute them at all.
Though the registries do have the issue of leading to discrimination against the sex offenders and not giving people much of a 2nd chance.

- jackowayed 17y agoWell yeah, at the end I admitted that there are other reasons to do away with the registries. But the premise that we should get rid of the registries because they're mostly stupid teens that were victims of these stupid laws is just wrong. The solution to that is to stop prosecuting kids with laws never meant to be used on them.
- pavel_lishin 17y agoYou're right, there are a lot of better reasons to ban those registries.
