Its about time...

So, on a more serious note. TEXAS, has proposed a bill which I think many gamers out there will highly appreciate, especially female and children gamers. "Legislators in Texas have proposed a bill that would expand what registered sex offenders would be required to disclose, including the release of online screen names." This I think is a tremendous idea, because of the ease of access to many people through online game play nowadays. Many people have been harassed by those who talk to them when they're playing online. I personally have experienced this sort of discomfort, dealing with people who might not necessarily be sex offenders, but do cross the line form time to time. If sex offenders can harass people on a computer, they probably can do it through their game system. This bill forcing sex offenders to register their gamer tags would establish much more control and would surely make many gamers feel safer. Phew!

  1. So many people get harassed in general. This may reduce predators but I don't know how it will help the average girl gamer or kid who gets cursed out on Halo...
