Well depth is 28,175 feet under an additional 7000 feet of water.

Bill, I have tried to be quiet on this, but REALLY man, you are pushing
my buttons on this NBC Dateline thing.
Everyday, crimes are committed.  The average criminal gets caught once
for every 10 like crimes he commits.  If these horny bastards walk into
a house intending to have sex with a minor, then yes, they should go to
jail even if it never happened or was under fictitious circumstances.
There is no telling how many times they actually went through with their
intentions and committed the crime.  Sorry Bill, but I think our
founding fathers of the Constitution would be the first ones to stand up
on my side of this issue.

They are probably trying to get repeat offenders off the streets with
the 3 strikes and you're out law.

It varies.  See:
http://www.answers.com/topic/trespass

There are some key words in your hypothetical scenario "enter a house
without permission" (that is trespass even if you own and rent the house
to someone else!) and "intention of stealing".

Even so, I'd be pissed if someone came into my kitchen to clean his
illegal trout, just as I'd be pissed if someone hunted on my land.  They
would be violating me and my right of ownership, and yeah, you betcha
they should face the music.  Chances are, if they had no criminal intent
as you propose, they would get a fine or a slap on the wrist, but wrong
is wrong and no matter how non-violent or minor, laws exist for a
reason, and that reason is to maintain order in society.

I'm not familiar with this sting operation.  Can you provide a
reference, a case, where someone was "sent away for years"?

Bill, why do you always berate people like that?  There is no need for
it.  I can understand you being upset with the show and it's producers,
but it's a real turnoff to anyone you are trying to convince if you are
name-calling those who disagree with you.  This time, it's the show's
producers, whom I assume that you don't even know, but in the past, you
have called fellow list members names, too.
If you want people to listen to your viewpoints, a little more honey and
a little less vinegar might be the ticket.

Doubtful, at least in my part of the country where personal rights are
valued and things are a bit more conservative than in say, California or
Washington state.

I pretty much agree with you, Marie, except on the last thing.  Legally,
I don't see a difference between those two, although morally, there is
most certainly a difference.
And Bill, just because young girls can marry in other countries doesn't
make it okay for men to show up expecting sex from 13 year olds in this one.
