Proposed legislation in New York would protect underage Internet users by creating an email registry of convicted sex offenders. What do you think?

  • “Don't they already have ways to distinguish sex offenders online? Isn't that what the winking emoticon is for?”

  • “Underage kids shouldn't be on the Internet. They should be outside, enjoying fresh air, and getting into stranger's vans.”

  • “But can't sex offenders just get new e-mail addresses? Nah, I'm probably just overthinking this.”
