So...apparently a Republican American president just sold my rights as a male down the drain to satisfy screaming leftist Democrats in Washington State?

Apparently this "law" goes into effect on March 6th.

Patriot Act...OK...but this? How does this stop terrorists? Oh, I see...according to the left whose law Bush signed so happily...American males are the terrorists and foreign women need to know everything about us before we can even be introduced to them.

And I thought the TV show "Over There" was treasonous because it depicted American males as evil.

So are you saying you have a criminal record?

The "murdered immigrant" refers to Anastasia King, a "mail-order bride" from the former Soviet Union. In 2000, King was murdered by her husband in Washington State where the case created a sensation largely because the husband had violently assaulted a previous "mail-order bride."

The writers for "CSI" must have used this case as the inspiration for one of their shows.

Does this include Bill and Roger Clinton, Ted Kennedy and Christopher Dodd?

Where is there a right to lie so as to seduce someone?

Sounds to me like hairy-legged, bitter feminist don't like foreign competition.

10th Ammendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.....except mail order brides, farm subsidies, $442 a night hotels for hurricane victims...blah blah blah

The old communists that ran the soviet union would be proud.

The law helps terrorists. They can now pose the picture of a woman in order to get information on people.

I think this has far more to do with killing the broker business. I bet if you look deeper you will see this is related to those anti-EMigration forces out of the former soviet block countries.

I know a couple that met via "mail order" and are still married.

This will do NOTHING for online dating services since there is no "broker" invovled.

I think the issue in the USA is literally competition for feminist women who are in denial that NORMAL men have no interest in anything leftist or feminist.

[longtermmemmory]

Does the law ONLY apply to men?

If so then it is going to fall. (ala old domestic violence laws which where gender specific)

[lizol]

... chuckle ....

You know what :-)))

[Joe 6-pack]

I need to find out if this applies strictly to marriage-type relationships, or if I'll be able to keep up the little cyber thing I've had going on w/ Christian Amanpour over on CNN chat.
