Reply #47: agreed. But the trouble with the term "sex offender" [View All]

[maggrwaggr]

is that it can cover a wide variety of offenses.

For instance, while I was in Nashville working a job (on a film crew) we were in a huge park down by the river. There was nowhere to take a leak, so most of us guys were tempted to go back into the woods (there were a lot of forests there) and take a piss, but the locals warned us not to, that the cops looked out for that and you could be arrested for it and the crime was a "sex offense" and that you would forever thereafter be listed as a "sex offender".

So it sorta depends on the actual crime. Getting arrested for "indecent exposure" because I'm taking a piss in a forest is a far far cry from child molester.
