Why do people automatically assume that a sex offender is a child molester?

Sam San: Why do people automatically assume that a sex offender is a child molester?
Sex Offender is a very vague term that covers a number of sex crimes; including urinating in public, mooning, flashing, streaking, skinny dipping, prostitution, and consensual sex between an 18 and 16 year old.

Before persecution and paranoia overwhelm them, why don’t people actually educate themselves. Sex offenses involving children only make up about 10% of all sex crimes. Around 90% of those involve someone the child knows, not a stranger.

Because it is so much easier to remain ignorant and fan the flames of emotion and indignation than take the time to learn the facts and consider them.

That’s because people are stupid… There to scared of the world, If you saw some one walk into a Star Bucks with a gun at there side you would be scared right? Well I wouldn’t well first off because Star Bucks actually is letting people with a pistol walk into there store with it holstered. Because in 43 of the 50 stated your allowed to walk around with a pistol holstered at your side. I know I’m getting off topic but still. I hate the world we live in to much fear of every thing and every one. Before in the old west no one was scared if some one looked weird or looking at a kid. But now if you look weird or if your black (no offense but its true) and your at a park or in a alley you have more of a chance to get arrested.

If you know someone that operates under that assumption, ask that person. I don’t know anyone who makes that assumption. If I did, or I knew many people like that, I would not assume that each of them thought the same about anything.

People of society who are considered conformists or followers are the same as brain washed. They let themselves believe everything that everyone else “seems” to believe. The media are a controlled entity that was created primarily to control what society believes. At the very core it is a conspiracy. There are certain groups of people who are subject to condemnation by the government and it has NOTHING to do with right or wrong. It just gets labeled WRONG to gain the support of people, just like unjust wars. MOST of the sex offenders are not offenders. They often end up having sex with a teenage girl who consents. And for whatever reason, he gets caught and locked up. Then labeled as a monster. American society in particular is the worst when it comes to those things. I personally know a few guys who got labeled that way all because of an Age of Consent law which doesn’t automatically make it right. Girls around 13 have been having sex since the beginning of time. Just because someone decides one day that its wrong doesnt make it so. But it shows how dumb our society is to tolerate such stupid laws. If a parent thinks otherwise they should be a parent instead of supporting nationwide bans.
