Behind every bad law is a good reason.

There are the stated reasons for enacting legislation which legitimizes the government’s intrusion into every sphere of our lives. These usually employ the “the safety of children” argument.

and then there are the real reasons for the legislation, always unspoken.

In a year or two, when we see how this law is abused to prosecute people who were never the originally stated targets of the legislation, we’ll have a glimpse of the real reason NY state wanted this law.
Child safety is the perfect cover. Tyranny lies beneath.

Sounds good on paper, that is. There are ways and means to go around this, obviously. So it is just a token measure.

And how do they stop would be offenders?

People Over the age of 37 should only be talking to older ppl like how old they are… If People like 75 Yr. Olds want to mess around with kids, Tell them H*ll no They can go touch them selfs… I dont want any kids hurt at my age because im only 12 and if ur younger and ur sexually abused, Run Home Screaming in fear after it and never go outside because there are millions of pedofiles. i JUST HOPE MYSPACE AND FACE GET THEIR ACTS TOGETHER AND TAKE PPL OVER 36′S PROFILES OFF MYSPACE!

Such as the “Anti-Pirate” campaing for DVDs. Only legitimate content owners see those ads. But it looks good to content providers.

This isn’t going to stop anyone who has a compulsion for that sick behavior. I can think of a half dozen ways to easily bypass it. I guess it will look good anyway.
