>> Fairytale/Sexual Preference/Religion/Red Hair == Does not affect other people

Yes, it was. These things do affect other people. Negatively? That's a subjective opinion, but all of these things are unique by case anyways. What do I mean? The fairytales of one person may result in some delusion that affects their family and relatives, and they abandon their social responsibilities to chase the white prince/queen/whatever. Also, one's religion has an affect on one's actions. If your religion says "kill the infidel", then complete adherence to such religion endangers others.

I'm not arguing that people should be registered, but the idea that ideology != affecting people is incorrect.

>> I'm sure in this oversimplification I made bad analogy.

At least you can admit that. That's more than some people can say. +1
