“a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based: the analogy between the heart and a pump.”

A heart and a pump are not the same thing and the origins are completely different – yet one could argue that the function is the same. Same is true for the things mentioned in this thread. As I said in one of my posts that the most glaringly similarity is unjust and unequal treatment of people. As I mentioned there is also a correlation for this and segregation – just because RSOs have seemingly committed a crime they still should be treated equally with other people convicted of a crime.

No, Keith has free speech rights too. No need to get mean about it Jules.

I absolutely agree. Too bad that lawmakers and other politicians don’t see logic and truth as valid reasons to act upon.

good luck with that!

Acceptably the courts have not acknowledged RSO as a class but I think that should be persued further.
If race , national origin, religion, or alienage are suspect classes. I must assume that the LGB community falls under the alienage class. From my research alienage classification is any separate class that has been alienated that is not included in race , national origin or religion, in my opinion that would include LGBs . They have not always been considered a class lesbians were one group gays were one group bigender was another. But eventually they were all grouped together. SO are labeling such for many different reasons. But society as seen fit to group them together as one and in so doing they have alienated them and caused them to be a group that can be considered a alienage. As such special protection is constitutionaly neccessary

How is this Jewish
commentary even propagated on this site. It’s disgusting. Has nothing to do with the plight of so.
No comparison

Keith some of “you” deserve to be corralled!!!!

Keith, if you read EVERYTHING that I posted, you will see that I made it a point to say that what the Jews faced back then was unimaginably horrible. But it also started out as as simple civil legislation. There are people in other states being locked up for life based solely on a psychologist’s opinion that they may be a danger. The only comparison anyone has made here is the registration requirement aimed at one singled out section of the population. I cry every time I think about what happened to those people back then. I have seen the photos and film footage from back then. It was barbaric. But it started out so gradually that they never saw it coming until it was too late. But if you never allow anyone to point to that example as a warning, the risk is that it will happen again.

I’m sorry but I’m not going to allow you to make a comparison between residency restrictions which we face and not be called out on it because it is just ridiculous to make that same type of comparison. You’re using semantics to compare what we face to what the Jews faced. I’m sorry but it’s off base

Really you’re going to categorize being herded into a ghetto where they were going to be isolated until they starved or died from health problems with residency restrictions faced by rso? You’ve got to be kidding me. They were put in these ghettos the same you and I would be put in a prison. Last time I checked I wasn’t in prison I go wherever I want I work wherever I want and I’m not confined to one area which was the ghettos were they couldn’t leave them I can leave and go wherever I want to. I’m not trying to argue I’m just trying to point out that is just ridiculous to make that analogy they were going to be exterminated they registered because everything they had was being confiscated by the government I don’t believe being on a sex offender registry requires me to hand over everything I have. The whole idea of them being on a registry is because they were going to be annihilated so again you comparing their type of registry it being put into a ghetto as registry restrictions is so off base compared to what we face nobody’s going to kill us nobody’s going to take our property again another poor analogy

I know. I was trying to also explain that when people get upset and defensive over any reference to the mistreatment of the Jewish people, they risk the real possibility of entire generations forgetting what happened back then. Before WWII, Europeans considered themselves to be the most enlightened and civilized society in history, and yet evil took over. And it all started out with relatively minor civil regulations aimed at one small part of the population. The hate leads to more lies to justify the hate, which leads to even more hate. That’s why it becomes so easy for people to just shrug their shoulders when a homeless sex offender freezes to death in Michigan. They say to themselves, “He wasn’t a fellow human being, he was just a subhuman sex pervert, and we are better off without him.” It is the same spirit that took over during World War II. It doesn’t compare to the evil perpetrated against the Jews, but it is still viewing others as inferior and not entitled to the same rights as everyone else.
