Just how are the rino P.O.S's going to enfroce this law anyway?Will they send the michigan state police to californnia to arrest the owner of inernet dating sites that dont post background info ?Or will they fly the state police to manila to arrest the owner of filipinalove.com for not posting the background info on the WORLD WIDE web?
He reminds me of someone but I just can't place it.
I can't wait for Orrin Hatch to sponsor similar federal legislation. /semi-sarcasm
Background checks aren't going to be allowed to disclose what kind of anti-depressants a dating site participant has been prescribed, so the whole thing remains a big gamble. There is no way to legislate the risk out of an inherently risky activity.
Sure there is. Require men to be given injections of estrogen until they're married. That'd probably do the trick.
Of course, then we'd end up acting like a bunch of French pusses...but that's the ultimate objective of these POS nanny-state legislators anyway.
I have walked through downtown Detroit at 2 a.m. - very interesting experience. Everyone figures if you are out on the Detroit streets at 2 a.m., you must be a real bad m*f* and will leave you alone. Just walk with good posture and don't make eye contact with anyone and you are usually o.k.
Crikey, how safe is romance OFFLINE?
99.9% of internet relationships are simple, normal relationships, the .1% of internet relationships that go wrong, wind up being written up as a newspaper article.
99.9% of non internet relationships (boy meets girl etc) are simple normal relationships, , the .1% that go wrong NEVER wind up in the newspaper.
66.34% of all statistics you read on the internet are made up on the spot by the author.
eHarmony - for when you want to meet that special someone with no felony convictions on their record.
Internet Dating was good to me. I met a few good women that were interested in relationships and met a lot of women interested in only a weekend fling (these were good also). I was always open and honest with the women I chatted with on these sites and they all new about recent stint in prison long before we met face to face.
Honesty is always better than lying.
They've already found a simpler way to do the same thing - market soy products as "health food". ;)
Sadly, you pretty much have to assume that people willing to post detailed profiles of themselves on major dating sites are psychologically messed up. Internet dating is one of those good ideas that just has too many rough edges yet to be viable.
What a simple and normal relantionship, like.
He reminds me of a cross between Tony Blair and Kermit the Frog gone terribly wrong.
really scary
I met my husband of ten years the "old fashioned" pre-computer way; through a newspaper ad. I'm surprised those haven't been banned as well.
Stupid legislation. You pays your money and you takes your chances. The way things are portrayed in the media, everyone's a freak and we should all be living in individual caves, never interacting with our fellow wo/man.
Why don't these Elected Representatives of the People put more time, money and effort into protecting kids on-line from pedophiles? Has anyone missed that there have been three abductions in the past week alone, let alone how many "sting" operations that caught pedophiles in the act?
Moe? on the Simpsons.
