Meadowsweet, I went through and re-read your last post and it is not as bad as most posts. Other than talking down to me about my opinions, saying I should not be angry at people's comments, but that is a small small thing that I let slide right off. I am angry at comments I read that repeat mindless thoughrless slogans they have heard. I was abused as a child, not sexually, but there are other forms of child abuse that harm people. I can't help but be angry when people refuse to repeat wishes for the torture of other people, WITHOUT finding out the facts involved, just emotionally saying, "I was sexually abused, and all people (accused, innocent or guilty is implied) should be locked up and the key thrown away." That is simple REVENGE, emotional, not thoughtful. It is that kind of ignorance that is so rampant in US today. That is why we have 5% of world's population but 20% of people incarcerated. It is due to this evil thoughtless vengeful habit of not thinking that too many people are allowing themselves. Nobody on this forum wants to acknowledge that many many innocent people are accused and convicted of sex abuse. They do not want to because then their utterances of rageful hate speech would sound ugly in their own ears. When laws are passed such as the registry which punishes people even after they served a sentence, these laws effect innocent as well as guilty. Rather that 10 men go unpunished than that one innocent man be tortured.
