I would post a example of the versatility and user friendliness of Brainfuck, but the lameness filter cannot handle it.

Personally, at my school, they have a policy that if you violate a policy outside of school grounds within sight of a school official, or a school official is latter reported of the policy you broke, you will be reprimanded as if you were on school premise.
People don't seem to remember that youth are still citizens, and are granted all the rights of the constitution. Schools extend and deploy their power in scary ways, forever under the umbrella "For the Children."
I am not sure people quite understand the fact that a sex offender is not necessarily a pedophile. It is extremely easy to get on the sex offender list. Being 16 and having sexual intercourse with another 16 year old, soliciting for a prostitute, mere accident (the story of the guy grabbing the girl's arm because she was about to run in front of a incoming semi-trailer), and hundreds of other reasons. I think legislation like this and other extreme measures are born out of fear and hysteria of the populace and the demands for tougher crack down, without realizing that the stereotypical sex offender (the evil male searching for young children) is actually quite rare. And once you get on that list, for whatever reason, your life is now ruined. We may want to take a step back and consider the ways of getting on the sex offender list before we jump to writing legislation to "protect the children".

Glad to see the two digit ID you bought in the auction going to good use...
