I was just double checking. Most convictions that carry a sex offender label are actually serious, but most is not all.
DUI can also mean being completely sober and not driving a vheicle.
And what am I "suggesting"??
I am always fascinated by people who put a lot of energy into pretending that sex crimes aren't a big deal and that a lot of registered sex offenders really didn't do anything.
It is objectively untrue, and any amount of research will demonstrate that.
So what is the deal? Why are doing it?
There are still thousands of people who are sex offenders for merely urinating in public. Try telling them their lives are just statistical noise.
I did not fucking say any of that. I said the opposite.
I hope it's just contrarianism stretched to its breaking point.
