Oh joy.

article

This Senator Wicker seems to think that video game content requires gov't scrutiny, even though they are rated, just like films. At least the courts have been siding against restrictions... so far.

Does he not see how stupid this is? There is already a system that works perfectly well, what's the point of the government getting involved? Besides, there has been countless numbers of studies that show that video game violence doesn't cause a kid to be aggressive (I'm just assuming this is why he's going after this).

RIGHT ON BRO :!

You speak tha truth man, infact kids who play violent video games turn out to be less violent, most likely cause there moms would keep on telling not to do that stuff in the game, but i dont think ill be shooting people while driving on a moped lisening to death metal while boxing with chimps:twisted:

The government has to get involved because they can't stay out of peoples private lives. they want to have their hands in everything, and everything they touch they ruin.....i was about to go into a rant, but i have stopped myself.

Although it is a stupid bill (which normally pass with our congress' brilliant pedigree...), a democrat congress won't let this one slide 9thank god)
