HIllary.. my dear, you don't need to go on giving me reasons not to vote for you. Its ok.

The sucky part is people will actually go for this.

That's one way to get the old peoples vote

Just pass a law that all offensive video games can only be released on the Wii, thus insuring that no one will ever get to play them.

Am I the only one that doesn't have a problem bringing an ID with me when I buy an adult game?

And lets all accept the fact that killing people is all age appropriate while sex is 18+. I have no problem with this.

I guess parenting was just too expensive.

mdfitzsimmons: And lets all accept the fact that killing people polygons killing polygons is all age appropriate while sex is 18+. I have no problem with this.

FTFY

Fix the farking country first before getting into a censorship fight.

We already have something to do that for us, Hillary. It's called an 'M' rating. If the parents buy it for their kids, it's their OWN FARKING FAULT if little Timmy sees some 'inappropriate video game content'.

Oh, wait, I forgot. This is America. Personal responsibility has no place here.

Guntram Shatterhand: Fix the farking country first before getting into a censorship fight.

That would be hard work. She would have to take risks, make sacrifices, break a sweat.....

No, I think she'd rather dedicate herself to a fake fight against a manufactured threat. Much easier to be the hero in something like that.

Pandering to the baby boomers. Gee, who'd'a thunk?

Who decides what content is inappropriate? It seems to me that it might be different for every person. Hey, wait- maybe, now, I'm talking crazy here, maybe we can let the individuals decide?

No, wait. That'd never work.

Playing to her Republican base.

mdfitzsimmons: Am I the only one that doesn't have a problem bringing an ID with me when I buy an adult game?

It's not needing an ID to buy an M-rated game. That's a self-imposed restriction by the game industry in an attempt to keep the government at bay. It's the whole censorship issue, and the government taking the place of parents. It's not the government's job to parent kids, and I shouldn't be limited in what I want to see because Hillary thinks the government can do a better job parenting.

Hillary wants to impose what some European countries have done, and create a government censorship board (expand the FCC) that bans video games based on content, under the guise of protecting the children. If the government starts censoring video games, what's to stop them from censoring movies. Then television shows. Then books. Then newspapers. Remember, the First Amendment doesn't apply when it's For The Children, and opposing these measures means you hate children and should be placed on the sex offenders list.

Weaver95:

She would have to ... make sacrifices ....

You don't think she's willing to make sacrifices? How do you think she's gotten to where she is?

Hillary has got to stop hanging around with Tipper Gore so much.

You knew she'd tipper hand sooner or later.

no, go ahead.

putting more restrictions to try to keep kids away from inappropriate content just makes more inappropriate content as long as it has an M, R or whatever the fark.

Did you ever notice that most politicians have an unhealthy fascination with children and sex?

I've begun to wonder why politicians believe that youths can't differentiate between make believe and the real world.

Or maybe it's that politicians can't differentiate between make believe and the real world.

And here's Exhibit 1 for why I want a real Liberal in office, and not her.

First off it was only GTA: San Andreas for PS2 and to be more then fair Rockstar Games gave a chance to everyone to exchange their copy for an edited one.
I do believe less then 19k PS2 games were ever turned back in. Out of the couple 100 thousand sold.

/Shouldn't they be getting worried over what our children see/think when their brother/sister are killed in the line of duty for WMD's that were never found?

Isn't the Wii the top-selling video game system on the market right now?

Hahahahaha, she said 'when'. Like she still believes she's going to win.

DoWhatNowToWhat: /Shouldn't they be getting worried over what our children see/think when their brother/sister are killed in the line of duty for WMD's that were never found?

No. Because video games are easier to attack.

Old people vote in droves and don't play video games, so banning (or simply attacking) them seems like an easy fix to children misbehaving. And if it doesn't fix the problem? Who cares? All that happened was video games were banned. Kids can go back to chasing hoops down the street with sticks.

How about just passing a law to incarcerate all youths from age 13 to 19.




/All together now...
Teenagers scare the living shiat out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed..

Actually, this is pretty shrewd on her part. It's only going to "cost" her the votes of college students and a few 20somethings who were going to vote for Obama in the primary anyway. This will probably, sadly, have a net positive effect on her vote total, as it will help her pick up some of the soccer moms.

I hate baby boomers. If they don't have a taste for something, it's okay to censor or ban it and pretend they're doing so on principle. Ban violent movies? Oh, gosh no! We like to watch them. Those are fun. We don't really care for gaming, though, so let's get rid of those fangled things.

Hillary is really working hard at getting me to loathe her. There are far bigger problems that need to be addressed, like real violence and suffering.

FlintEastwood: Isn't the Wii the top-selling video game system on the market right now?

That's blatant propaganda perpetuated by Nintendo in order to drive up demand for the three units they've actually built.

If she gots the nom the only reason I'm going to vote for her is to vote against the Republican nom, who all make me want to vomit.

She just makes me nauseous.

That settles it. She's got my vote. This is the number one issue facing America, and I want someone with her moral standards and credibility to take charge of it.

Begone threadjacking troll, away with you!

So, you really think that there should be no law against your 7 year old daughter going into a store and getting herself a copy of some uber-violent rape game?
What if someone makes a game about pedophile rape, would you be fine with her getting her hands on something like that?
There are games out there that involve killing blacks and jews, raping women, and overtly glorifying drug use and murder. If it was a film your 7 year old daughter would not be allowed to see it, but, because its hyper-realistic polygons, that means it should be okay?
I for one would absolutely support the banning of these things.
Free speech is all fine and dandy, TO A POINT.
My child should not be subjected to someone elses sick views on how they are allowed to abuse freedom of speech.
Freedom of speech can go to far. You cant yell fire in a crowded theater, and you cant let children see hardcore porn.
Some things should be banned entirely and GTA is a perfect example.
I support Hillary entirely on this one.

So you'll drive your kid to the local software vendor, give him fifty bucks, then hide your eyes as you wait in the car as he/she goes inside and buys whatever he/she likes?

Be a parent, don't expect me or anyone else to care like you should. If you don't want to invest the time into bringing up your kids, don't have any.

Mr. Potatamoto? (new window)

The game is rated Mature.

If you're telling me 17 year olds can't handle animated nipple, then you are completely out of touch with reality.

The end.

BZZZT. This is not the federal government's territory. Not that you would know anything about the Constitution, or the laws of this country, beeotch.

Fortuantly, the Supreme Court has said that any government sponsored or enforced rating system is unconstitutional. They've said this about a hundred and seventeen times.

I would like to point out that "No law will ever abolish cruelty or desperate need." - Twilight Zone

Then... of the current field... Clinton looks the most attractive to me, White House experience, a go getter attitude...

Don't feel bad. I only did it for the first time ever about a year ago, on New Year's Eve. I turned 20 a few days after.

dies she really want to piss off a generation of gamers who have been playing games which are actually "assasin training tools" or whatever crap they say about games.
