Re: Rename the British Isles, the paedoph-isles?
 

Don't be so ridiculous, being homosexual is not contagious, nor does it present a danger to others. Why do you think I suggested the tattoo be put in the genital region? So as to warn those [potential partners] of the risk [to themelves in the case of HIV/AIDS carriers, & to their children in the case of sex offenders], but to be hidden from everyone else.

Oh, & just to confound your assumptions further, whilst I am straight, I approved of the AOC law being changed to make it the same for all, regardless of orientation.

But by the time the child saw the tattoo, wouldn't it be a bit late...?

Re: Rename the British Isles, the paedoph-isles?
 

I don't think the child is the one the tattoo is intended for, it would be for the mothers benefit ;)

Re: Rename the British Isles, the paedoph-isles?
 

Exactly.

Re: Rename the British Isles, the paedoph-isles?
 

Now that is a brilliant idea! :tu::tu::tu:

Re: Rename the British Isles, the paedoph-isles?
 

Well, that assumes that the mother has observed the genitalia of the stranger. I can think of many situations where that might not occur...

Re: Rename the British Isles, the paedoph-isles?
 

Not just that though, it warns any future partners in general, not necessarily if they have kids or whatever.

I know i wouldn't want to be with someone who'd done that, i'd rather know.

The original point was about mothers vetting new partners, one way was police checks another was tattooing offenders ;)

Re: Rename the British Isles, the paedoph-isles?
 

Fair enough, but what about uncles, brothers-in-law, best friends, etc. Anyway, if you had a tattoo that would be recognised, wouldn't you take steps to make sure no-one saw it (switch off the lights, darling).

Re: Rename the British Isles, the paedoph-isles?
 

Switching the light of wouldn't protect them from a police check ;), as for friends and family, where do you draw the line with this proposal, I have already stated my concerns with the idea (post 18).

i hope these offenders arent members of bupa ;) http://www.bupahospitals.co.uk/asp/c...oo_removal.asp

Re: Rename the British Isles, the paedoph-isles?
 

I suspect that they wouldn't be happy about removing these type of tattoo's, however to be on the safe side, perhaps they should be branded instead ;)

Re: Rename the British Isles, the paedoph-isles?
 

One would assume that if such a measure [tattoos] became law, then the removal of same would become an offense. "Aiding & abetting a sex offender" perhaps, & a tattoo of their own to accompany any other punishment [e.g. prison time]. I reckon that would be a good enough deterrent to anyone who might otherwise consider removing it for them. I doubt someone who isn't that way inclined would want to be "tarred with the same brush".

personally i think chemical castration is the way forward for convicted peadophiles, locking them up for the rest of thier life is a massive burden on society, cant see the death penalty being brought back in, so seems like a good compromise

Re: Rename the British Isles, the paedoph-isles?
 

And what about female sex offenders? should it be tattooed around their "ravioli" (!) so that the guy (or female!) could see it more moving onto anything more involved or should it be on the female genitalia also?

Would it be necessary to clip hair away (a bit like the scene in the Omen) in order to reveal the dreaded truth?

Surely this is cave man culture and it is exactly the reason why we have a structured system of law enforcement in this country-so that the baser instincts of the mob do not previal.
