They are also required to re-register every time they move. I don't know if these rules are the same nationwide. And yes, I do know that sex offenders have done something to be disenfranchised and have their rights revoked, and people with AIDS have a virus and have done nothing to deserve it. But, if we do not take drastic preventative measures the entire world could become like sub-saharan Africa. Have you read those statistics? So until there is a cure, would some type of easily accessable national registry of known AIDS patients be such a bad thing? Even if it violates some rights?....
3) On a different note, This thread that I started was the first ever, anywhere. So I apologise about not communicating well. Next time I will try to be more clear.

1) No one peed in my cornflakes. I do see red, as most human beings do, when they hear of pieces of trash that have wilful disregard for human life. I have nothing nice to say about such dirtbags. I see no reason to hide my disgust of such gutter trash. I'm not mad at you. If I'm mad at you, I'll call you names, belittle your family, and get banned.
2) I think that is a terrible idea. When it comes to sex offenders, I oppose the idea of registries. Once a person has paid a debt to society, via jail time, fines, etc, their debt is paid (except for the record they carry) - except under the sex offender registry, your debt is never paid, and it follows you around forever, leading to acts of vigilante justice, and the inability for the parolee to ever lead a productive life. I see no point to such a registry.
As for people with AIDS - you are espousing the equivalent of forcing AIDS sufferers to walk around, as the Jews in German concentration camps and ghettos did, with little identifiers like Stars of David attached to their clothes. Little pink triangles? I think the Nazis did that as well.
There is little danger of AIDS spreading as it is has in Africa in the Western world. It would have done so already. Who gets AIDS? People with depressed immune systems to start with who engage in high risk behaviours. If you're an undernourished Botswanan already suffering from endemic illness like herpes, genital sores, worms, etc, who engages in high risk sexual behaviour you're odds are pretty high you'll get AIDS. Africans suffer from depressed immune systems to begin with, which makes them more succeptible to AIDS and other illnesses. Of course, a healthy, well fed person can contract AIDS, but it is obvious it is not as easily done.
3) Sounds good. Welcome to the TFP.
