Great Idea! by Anonymous, Nov 20, 2008 (6:43pm)

Yeah, so the U.S. government is going to continue to punish FORMER sex offenders who have paid their debt to society by making it next to impossible for these American’s to leave America if they get tired of being punished and re-punished with ex post facto laws and bills of attainer.
WTF is wrong with these idiots in Washington?? I say we should make it easier not more difficult for sex offenders to leave! Hell, we should grant them a special tax permit to expatriate and take all their assets out with them with no penalties or taxes!

There are NEVER enough punishments for perverts! by Anonymous, Nov 22, 2008 (5:18am)

These evil people MUST be punished again and again even after they do their time. Their victims never forget the horrible things done to them, and sex offenders should never have any peace.

All who agree with the above should also agree that the US Constitution should be run through a shredder because one of the main tenets of this great document is the restriction against ex post facto laws.

When we ask Congress to take away the rights of one group, we give them permission to take away our rights as well.
