Health Care Reform

[loka]

AMW works with law enforcement agencies and a hot-line is involved. Totally different legal ramifications. TCAP was enforcing the law into their own hands without law enforcement help. They eventually got enforcement if it was a sex offender who was a level 3 sex offender. Even then, what they did is entrapment. It's why law enforcement hates, HATES groups that act like children on the internet and forward the internet conversations to local police department (which is what TCAP was doing). It misconstrues the entire legal system to allow a good lawyer to scream entrapment and other poisonous fruit bullshit which you cannot do in law enforcement. It's why TCAP is no longer on the air. NBC didn't see the legal suits that could follow this until they actually saw the shows content.

i'm not saying it's a good thing these people are on the street still...far from it. i'd have been waiting w/ a sawed off and capped their knees or something (higher perhaps) and leave. but if you saw someone on that show, and then they moved in next door to you...how much do you think they could get away with?

Statistically speaking. Most sex offenders are level ones. I probably live next to one and I will never know because his crime was public urination. The sex offender laws are new and are not in code with the legal system we have. That said, you take matters into your own hands on a sex offender, you go to jail, and the sex offender collects victim compensation from you. That's the way the legal system works. You would also know if a sex offender lived next door to you because they have to register. If they don't they get arrested. There is no reason for taking matters into your own hands or using unprofessional shows like TCAP as a guideline to see if you can catch a pervert. These guys are already registered. Leave the catching sex offenders to law enforcement. Chris Hansen was an idiot for the idea.

... Thus sex offenders and Fox News destroyed the country by writing the health care bill becuase news stations run shows that are not news and even the news shows are sometimes just commentary. On that note the new bill also took over the student loan industry, who should we blame this on?

There are idiots in this world that take the hate spewed by people like Glen Beck as 100% fact and NOT opinion.

It is, of course, your opinion that writing the health care bill "destroyed the country" -- I, of course, disagree. I like the idea of the student loan industry being completely controlled by the government, as most student loans are federally subsidized ANYWAYS. It's actually a very efficient system as I've interacted with them on a regular basis with my own schooling. A lot of times it takes 0 involvement from start to finish from actually signing the dotted line. Federal take over means one thing to me: lower APR and thus; lower interest rates overall.
