OK a national law for perverts to submit their email address to a database? NOW COME ON, HONESTLY ARE YOU REALLY THINKING ABOUT PROTECTING KIDS LIKE THAT?!?

what next? filing a lawsuit against your ISP because since you were on the Internet, you were exposed to these sorts of people? Maybe large ISPs should run names of their Internet subscribers against this database of sex-offenders.
