Every time I think I’m about to cave and let my kids have a MySpace, I come here.

Talk about a quick fix! LOL

Not to mention the semi-porn spam.

This is the best quote I’ve heard about sex offenders on MySpace.

“I feel like I have to be an idiot, and post more stupidity to male myself feel pious and judgemental”

So aren’t you being judgmental right now?

Kind of hypocritical huh?

If MySpace is labeling people incorrectly as sex offenders it makes me wonder how many sex offenders they may have labeled as people.

Yes Trench, because if we frame the debate in a way that makes the sex offenders sub-human they’re not our problem right? We can just have animal control round them up and summarily execute them.

Get a grip. These ARE people, with families, and lives, and many of them are trying to reform and lead good lives contributing to society. Not every one of them is a demon doomed to repeat offense over and over again. The ones who ARE doomed to such a fate can certainly be identified individually and given appropriate restrictions to keep society safe.

We might be able to have legislators ACTUALLY address this problem in meaningful ways if we, as the public, refused to accept rhetorical scare tactics that make us feel as if a pack of wolves are at the door. It is a real problem, and it deserves to be dealt with in a rational manner with FAR less emotion clouding judgement.

The reactionary law making we have seen in the past few years to help politicians stay in power by scaring us half to death is not helpful. Take “Jessica’s Law”: Jessica Lunsford, BRUTALLY murdered in Florida had a law named after her that made registration requirements for sex offenders rather draconian…tracking (like an animal), residency restrictions (making it harder to get a good stable job, a KNOWN factor in reducing re-offense rates). Would I have had a problem if these were imposed on the sicko that killed this poor little girl? Hell no. The problem is that law makers RUSH into the emotion of one case and design laws that aren’t thought out well.

Now, Jessica’s older brother who is 18 is charged with some offense involving a 14 year old girl. If convicted, he faces the SAME registration requirements as the sicko who murdered his sister. They put him in the same boat. That doesn’t seem right to me.

So I think it IS harmful when we give into that kind of rhetoric, Trench. Because it leads to laws that put dumb 18 year old kids into the exact same catagory as screwed up men who put little girls in garbage bags.

In a perfect world.

Anyway we’re arguing semantics. I’m not talking about that kid from Georgia that got 10 years. For the most part I’m talking about the true pedophiles and scumbags that troll MySpace and other sites specifically looking for underage children.

For the statement to be true, you’d have to believe that all overweight people have a problem with candy. Or that all sex offenders have a problem with - uh what were you implying here? Children? Or just people? Clarify??

It should probably be worded something more like, “It’s like being an alcoholic, and working in a liquor store.” Because an alcoholic is someone that has an issue with alcohol, and not all overweight people have issues with candy.

Myspace is the perfect place for any type of deviant, the temptation is right there at their finger tips.
