Sabre Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Last night I was watching TV with my mother before bed. She was watching an american 'documentry' about a sex offenders prison. My jaw dropped when the creepy music kicked in, it said something like"95% of sex offenders get realsed. There is no way to tell who's a rapist or a child abuser. It could be anyone, even someone you know and you couldn't tell."I couldn't believe how paranoid this show was trying to make people. It might as well said"It's your naibour, and he's coming to get you now. In fact, HES BEHIND YOU WITH A KNIFE!"It's nuts. I also find that kind of program going out under the name of 'documentry', or this kind of fear stuff in general to be irresponcable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 The problem there is they have to make you scared of missing the show. If you are already watching, why bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the witch hunt of the 17th Century, the "Communist" Hunt (Red Scare) of the 1950's, and today's "Terrorist" or "Child Molester/Sexual Predator" scare and baseless accusations of today. Crap like this has me sometimes thinking of moving to Finland or Norway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
