US states press MySpace to give up sex offender data

Parental consent

Parental Consent! What a great idea! In order to keep out the kids who shouldn't be on the site until they're older anyway, we're going to make all the adults get their parent's consent. Just one thing though, if THEY can't tell who are the kids, how will they tell who are the parents?

Wouldn't it just be better if we policed the ones who exhibit risky behavior? Michael made a great point, too. Parents should teach their kids its not Disney World out there. But then I guess they'd have to admit their perpetual parade of little white lies, and get down to some truth. And if the parents do that before the kids are 18, they might get arrested and put on the list.

Damn, I think we're scrood. It is in the religion of ignorance, that tyranny reigns.

What about the 18-16 relationships and the exposed-self while urinating in public type of convicts? Does consolidating a list of these people make us safer? Aren't the really bad offenders in prison for a while anyway? If we don't allow those who get on the list for lesser offenses or even bogus ones to clear off with good behavior, won't the list eventually include us all? That would suck, cuz no one could argue for liberty when the State has us all on an offender's list.
