Sex Offenders to Register Emails in Virginia

Isaac Bowman writes "The Washington Post is reporting that Virgina has a proposed law that would require sex offenders to register their email and IM screen names in an attempt to monitor and control their presence on social networking sites like MySpace."

In Capitalism West sex offenders must register emails. In Soviet Union use of email registers you!

What were they thinking?! Didn't they see what the superhuman registration act did to the Fantastic Four?

If you can't trust a registered sex offender then who can you trust? The honor system has no flaws!

Intercourse, Pennsylvania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercourse%2C_PA [wikipedia.org])is a nice place to visit. The Amish folks there are laid back and easy going.

I'm just waiting to hear what all the politicians are going to say when another sex offender from MySpace is caught in Virginia.

Voters: "But I thought we had their email on file. How did they get on MySpace?"

Politician: "Did you really think we could keep their emails? Didn't you realize there are millions of sites that give email away without asking your identity?"

Voters: "Yeah, but I thought you guys were magical."
