Chelsea's Law? Come On, Let's Just Have Town Square Executions!
I've never been a big fan of the sex offender laws, mostly because, God, do they ever always end badly. Now we have proponents of Chelsea's Law, in California, which is hard, on the face of it, not to get totally behind? "The bill notably includes a 'one strike' provision that would allow prosecutors to pursue a life sentence without parole for forcible sex crimes against a minor when there are aggravating circumstances such as torture and kidnapping." I mean, you put "torture" and "minor" "forcible sex crimes" in there and it's pretty much like, WELL, OKAY. Except I'm pretty sure those are all pretty heavily-punished crimes already? And… wait, why do I want to pay for a sex offender's hot lunch into forever with my sad little tax dollars again? Come on. We all know the Bible has found a way to deal with this. Town Square. See you at dawn.
Chemical castration.
I'm not joking.
Also: that graphic is unsettling at best.
What about just making them buy the victim a puppy? That's what mine did with me and I couldn't have been more tickled.
Because he wouldn't stop while he was trying to kiss me.
That is so awesomely brutal I love you.
I mean, not *that* way. It's okay, it's okay, shhh.
We can start with the Catholic Church.
That Leviticus has some big stones.
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Make that fucker stand on whatever the Scarlett Letter lady had to stand on and give us all a bucket of rocks! Just don't put a bunch of hot chicks out there or the bf will be all distracted and I won't be able to hit a damn thing.

In the spirit of the new entrepenurialism, I can set up a little "Get your photo taken with the severed head of a Perv!" tent, which will totally stimulate the economy (my own.) Prints will be $10 each (heh, paper gets great mark-up.), digital copies forwarded for-your-Facebook for $8. There's a veritable (Insert name of the corny traditionalist amusement park of your choice here, I don't want to get sued!) waiting to happen in every village, folks!
*entrepeneurialism
"entrepenurialism" = money making schemes concocted while suffering from advanced penury.
"entrepeneurialism" = money making schemes concocted while thinking with your penis. In French.
I think you were right the first time.
"entrepenurinalism" = you have a great idea for making money and someone pisses all over it
You are totally overthinking this. Just sell buckets of nice, smooth, easy-to-throw river rock at a premium. Only losers pick up those jaggedy boulders off the ground.
We could totally have them blessed by Sarah Palin.

Ha, even perverts don't like Nevada!
(this goes against my intuition)
Watch out for Reno's sex offender.
Is that part of Montana that is exposed where there is a rather large Native American reservation? That would explain why numbers are not reported there. I'm not sure what the hell is up with Nevada or eastern Oregon though.
Actually, I think that also might be one in South Dakota and northern Minnesota.
Nobody lives there.

That's Nevada. Doesn't really answer the other three. I guess I could look at a map but that seems like more work than I feel like putting in.
At best reservations only make up a tiny part of the areas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_reservation
What is Roman Polanski and a Catholic priest?
Mel Gibson?
Do you mean the Urban Dictionary "hot lunch"? Because I am in favor of those for sex offenders, except those that will enjoy them.
You guys scare me sometimes. Most sex offenders are 19 year old boys who fucked some 15 year old girl who was totally happy until Daddy found out. We're all seriously confused about age. Tell them David.

There is a Romeo and Juliet law for two kids under 18. I can't access MySpace at work, so I can't check out that link, but a 19 year old guy who fucks 15 year old girls needs to start hanging out with his peers.
Laws vary from state to state, and there are huge discrepancies in how they're applied even within a single state. High school, where ages can vary from 14 to 19 and there's a lot of contact between people of different races, is a minefield for misapplied sex offender laws.
I also have a philosophical problem with the idea that pedophilia, which is clearly a psychological disease, can somehow be prevented by a spiral of ever-more-draconian punishments. I would like to see some treatment options on the table.
"The bible has found a way to deal with it"
Yeah, well they would have, wouldn't they.
Being both the cause and the cure….
There used to be a whole camp of sex offenders under the 195 exit in Providence, RI too, living like depression era hobos: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/31/us/31land.html?_r=1
