"The Senate is considering legislation that would require an Internet dating company serving Michigan residents to disclose on its Web site whether it has conducted criminal background checks on users, based solely on the names provided. "

i agree with that if they can come up with a way to determine if that person has the propensity to be a future internet stalker. because i know i could've done without some of that shit.

um... i somehow think that won't happen, plus, do you think that just your name that you give them would be goo enough.

i guess it would be in my case but most people have not so distinctive names. anyways, that is what google is for.

yeah, but it's not whether they've been a creepy stalker in the past, it's whether they will up and start stalking you once they decide that they cannot possibly live without you, and you have ruined them forever.

maybe i'm just projecting my own personal experience here.
