Nor do I. So how id a kid playing Call of duty or Persona 3 hurting anyone? HOW???? Lawyers said Judas Priest drove kids to Suicide with their music in the 802 to try milking the bands for cash. It was crap then and lawyers blaming video games on violence is crap today.

NEITHER affect the public space. Are there roaming packs of feral Warcraft players out there? No. Do TV ads cause spontaneous WW2 flashbacks in teenagers born 50 years after the war ended? no,

So what then? It ain’t the 1950s. I wish it was. But if PS3s existed then, kids would have played them.

What is wrong with Americans having some control over what can be sold to their children by government licensed businesses?

Not if Americans deemed them inappropriate for children, what changed from our first 180 years, was that since the 1960s, the federal government has taken over every aspect of our lives, and we no longer run our communities, the feds do.

Only the federal government's "libertarianism" was strong enough to destroy America. Since they took over in the 1960s with the Warren court, we have become a broken, grungy, family unfriendly society.
