True.com is using American Fear to enhance business competition for online dating sites.
Match.com and others oppose the legislation to require background checks for online dating sites. Their position is that forcing background checks create a false sense of security. We, sex offenders, have heard and stated this many times before concerning certain legislation efforts, especially the banishment and exile laws crossing the country.
The article goes on state that In 2001, 1.6 million people subscribed to an online dating site, says Andrew Peach, research director for Jupiter Research, an Internet market research company in New York City. By 2004, there were 4.7 million subscribers.
That is amazing growth!
Entrepreneurs reading this will have a clear idea where I am headed.
The http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/crs.htm U.S. Department of Justice • Office of Justice Programs reports that there are 71 million criminal(felon) records in the United States. They do state that some individuals may have records in multiple states.
A criminal history record describes any arrests and subsequent dispositions attributable to an individual
Lets say, for this discussion that 21 million of those records are redundant when considering the individual. Somewhere there may be an exact number of Felons in the USA.
That leaves 50 million felons in the United States.
Everyone deserve to have someone who loves them and the chance to find that someone. True.com has officially stated that felons are not welcomed in the American Society they wish to legislate.
I propose we create a new society to take advantage of the technology available today. A Felon-welcomed dating site. It would be for felons to meet each other or a place for Felons to be contacted by people who lack the Felon-Fear gene.
Background checks would not be required because there is no veil of secrecy, members are at the site because they are felons looking for people who are part of our new society.
There would be some ground rules, like any dating site. All felons would be welcome, including sex offenders. However fugitives would not be welcome, only people who have served their incarceration time. Parolees and Probationers are welcome.
Membership fees would be on a sliding scale relative to the status of the applying individual.
Non-Felons = $50 per month
Blue-Collar felons = $40 per month
Non-Weapon Felons = $30 per month
Violent Non-Sexual Felons $20 per month
Sex Felons = $10 per month
Murderers = $5 per month
We would use True.com’s marketing strategy and manipulate the media perfectly. We would use the words exclusion, exile, banishment and phrases like “cast out” and other terms that would be humorous to non Felons. Felons however would understand and hopefully seek out a place where they would feel welcome, outside of True.com and American society in general.
We outnumber the population of many countries and we have a level of power and we allow our shame and secrecy of our past to prevent us from flexing that power.
If 10-30% of felons in the US were to join, the site would be a success. There would also be looky-loos, people who were curious, some of these would be the people who spend hours staring at the RSO websites. We would get at least month out of them, maybe more with automatic billing like other sites use!
It is time to recognize the truth, and ironically it is a business called True.com that is telling the truth. Felons are not welcome in America, they are not part of society and it is time for Felons to unite and create their own society, their own networks, jobs, cities and create their own self-sufficiency. Trying to succeed in current American society is part of what leads to the high recidivism rates, we simply cannot overcome the legal discrimination we face, so we turn back to crime. True.com deserves to be recognized for exposing this truth, that felons are no longer welcome.
A Felon friendly dating site would be catalyst for a uniting movement, a movement that will offer success and pride, and most of all, hope. Felons, discuss this with your families and loved ones and bring them into the fold. There are plenty of sites and businesses and organizations that exclude us, isn’t it time we exclude “them?” The time has come for change, we have the numbers, we have lost most hope, it is time Felons. 2006 is the year of change.
“And from them a leader arose, and he led them to salvation.”
