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

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

    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."
