Gee, what could possibly go wrong with this?

Them getting it wrong….priceless……..but millions a dollars
is always welcome….millions a dollars….millions a dollars.

Not condoning it, but since when does possession of child pornography translate into “Child Predator”?

Oh, that’s right! Even someone who took a leak out in the wilderness while on a camping excursion is a “Child Predator” nowadays. Because we all know that our respective male and female organs, given to us by God, are only for one purpose, and that is most certainly nasty, filthy, disgusting, unashamed SEX! SEX! SEX! Those respective “boy parts” and “girl parts” serve serve NO other purpose, and certainly not relieving one’s self when your bladder get’s full. Because, of course, urination is a sex act.

Hmmm…what could we do to seem like we’re still relevant in our witch hunt hysteria? I know, let’s create an iPhone app where people can accuse more people of being predators whether they are or not!

Kidnappers app….no
Assault app….no
Spousal abuse app….no
Robbery app….no
Drunk drivers app….no
Weapons app….no
People on psych meds….no
Preferential treatment crime app….no
Court personnel tampering with evidence app….no
Fixing a court proceeding app….no

Perhaps one could develop a “Dirty Cop” app, one that gives names, dates, departments and crimes of all the various law enforcement officers who’ve committed a sex crime. Oh, with a warning because it’s so frequent now, the use of that app may slow your smart phone.
After reading what is being done or trying to be done to RSO’s, I’m thinking with all the social restrictions RSO’s are being socially neutered. Social networking is being taken, places of entertainment (free places because we’re unemployed and can’t afford to pay for any fun), and for some, even going to church is now becoming taboo because children are there. About the only place you won’t find kids are bars and strip clubs, and who can afford either of those? The attempt to live out our lives in peace, quiet, harmony and tranquility is being taken from us by ignorant, lame, self serving politicians hoping for re-election
