Why do you think the sex registry was started?

Because politicians are stupid. They'd rather keep drug dealers and users in prison than child predators. Really, the sex offender registry is one of the stupidest things this country has produced. If someone is still a danger, keep them in jail. If not, and they've repaid their "debt to society" (whatever the hell that means), let them get on with their lives.

It never made sense to me they would let someone out into society who they deem to be a danger to society.

Didn't you hear? There is war on drugs, not child molestation. Certain "sacrifices" need to be made.
 
Its just a video store. Im sure most of us have a Blockbuster in their neighborhood. Whats the big deal?

Ah, youth. Look, I'm all for porn stores but let's not pretend it's just a video store. When they're installing peep show booths1 you're looking at a different class of customer than when they're renting out "Bend Over Boyfriend" to adventerous suburban moms.




1: It occurs to me that many people might not know what these are. Basically, they're little booths that are designed for a lone person to enter and "sample" the porn videos a quarter at a time. If that's not skanky enough for you, such "booths" are not-infrequently used for illicit encounters either between customers or between customers and extremely low-rent prostitutes. Being the janitor at a porn store with peep booths is the worst job on earth, if you catch my meaning.

I once read a column in an alternative newspaper where the topic was the best advice you have ever received in your entire life. The woman writing the piece said that in college, she and some of her friends got drunk and went to one of these places. After a few minutes together, all crowded into one booth, one of her friends gave her the best advice ever. She said, "ewwwww, nobody touch the floor."

In some places, the... er... entertainment is live.

And what class of customer would that be??? Id wager your run of the mill neighborhood bar is way more troublesome than some quite xrated video store. Bars have fights, late night nosie, traffic, they are drunk driving lanching pads and they can be found all over our country. But an Xrated video store is considered to be this den of danger?? What are you afraid of.??

The real issue is the religious and sexual hangups of the neighbors.

OK, there's upscale wine bars and there are biker bars. There's the bathroom in the Ritz-Carlton and there's the bathroom at the bus station. And here there's peep show booths and there's Blockbuster but with x-rated videos. There's differences, Tmy. Real ones. I've already said that I'm all for porn stores; indeed, I've said that there are at least nine within a few blocks of me. But I'm also for being factual and not dressing things up. Not all porn stores are the same and the ones with peep booths are at the bottom of the barrel.

Apparently its in a swanky baldwin filled neighborhood. How bad can it be.

Who cares if guys are wacking it behind closed doors. Thats just a smokessceen anyway. Even if they dummped the booths Baldwin would still be on his crusade.

He's acting like perverts will leave this place and decide to rape and expose themselves to all the local children. This is an irrational fear based on nothing.
 
Why would one need a porn video store these days when we have the internets?
 
Plus, much of what is on the internet is actually taken from movies.

eta: Er, so I have heard.
