I don't agree with that line of thinking. It doesn't have to be all or none. Like I believe someone who has done several horrible things while drunk should be banned from drinking. Doesn't need to rot in prison their whole life. A special mark on their ID that marks them as unable to purchase alcohol. It isn't foolproof but neither is having a legal drinking age.

Registered pedophiles already have limitations on where they can live so it's not like we don't already do such things.

Y'know what? I agree. If someone is convicted of election/voter fraud, they shouldn't be allowed to vote anymore. Or did you mean that someone who's convicted of voter fraud shouldn't be allowed to drink alcohol anymore? Because I can't fathom a reason that someone who got drunk and ran a red light, hitting another car 30 years ago should somehow have voting restrictions placed on them for the rest of their life.

And for what it's worth, with the pedophile thing, those limitations expire the moment the offender is off the registry. So if their offense was deemed to only be severe enough to require registration for 10 years, then they can live wherever the hell they want once those 10 years are up. So yeah...literally exactly the same as non-pedophile offenses are treated. Once they've served the chosen punishment, they are free to rejoin society and all that comes with it.
