Hillary thinks that obesity will be curtailed if video games are labeled for violence and sexual content.....hah! what a joke.
He also mentioned an interest in Assassin’s Creed but I’m not too sure about that one. Killing aliens and historical bad guys is one thing but randomly going around assassinating people for your own gain is another.
All else aside, why is this a federal issue? Geez, it’s hard to be governed by your own state and then also by a federal nanny-state.
Is the Shrill also going to ban people from having characters from violent video games as their screen names in an online forum?
And yet, Grand Theft Auto IV will continue to be relentlessly far left. And, it’ll still be a fantastic game in spite of that.
The Video Game Makers apparently have not been sending enough bribes,... oops I mean Campaign Contributions to the Political Establishment. That Hildabeast Train Keeps Running by Burning Cash Money.
So would many on here, unfortunately.
Agreed. Fantasy based violence is more like a road runner cartoon (with frags) but I don't let the kids (nor myself) play the reality based "Hitman" or GTA. Heck, during their early teen years my sons and I wore out a few keyboards playing multi-player Quake and Unreal Tournament on the home network.
Should be obvious. The system is broken, running open-loop, out of control. Train-wreck --or totalitarianism-- ahead.
I think I put more stock in the plotline of the game more than anything else. For example, in Halo you are battling an evil alien race for the survival of mankind, which is a non-selfish (unlike GTA) aim. Likewise in Star Wars games you are battling the evil Sith. I try to steer away from games the plotlines of which are entirely selfish. That’s why I highly encourage WW2 games such as Call to Duty and Medal of Honor.
It sure appears that way.
Both parties want it that way.
This is old news. She-who-must-not-be-named was one of the biggest loudmouths during the “Hot Coffee” controversy of Grand Theft Auto III: San Andreas.
I hope she spills the “Hot Coffee” on her...nevermind, don’t want a ban at Christmas time.
BINGO!...We have a winner!!!....and in a nut shell to boot...
That’s about her speed.
And yet let’s encourage state teaching of the joys of anal love to 5 year olds at school.
Let me see, we need to revoke the Patriot Act to assure the privacy and first amendment rights of terrorists, but we must regulate the video games for our children because our parents aren’t doing a good enough job. Did she say that? I don’t recall. I get confused about what she says from one day to the next. Maybe this will explain why I’m like that:
I'm fairly sure I could predict how Mike Huckabee would answer this question.
I could too. I don’t want nanny-statism from either side.
