Bills Aim To Limit Violent-Game Sales

more than 1,000 studies have linked media violence with increased aggression in children,

Is this bill an example of overly intrusive government regulation or a common sense effort to prevent cultural suicide?

cultural suicide

That's a favorite phrase of yours, isn't it?

I know that you never decayed your soul with video games, did you?

[Lee Heggy]

Doesn't matter, it won't work. People or children will alway's get what they want somehow. The black market in games is huge. Legislation trying to 'limit' it will only make it more profitable.

I know that you never decayed your soul with video games, did you?

Well...never mind that. I still have a very high soul rating anyway.

Mine's 33787 quid. What's yours?

[Cathryn Crawford]

No fair! I just retook mine (it's been awhile). £27613.

Yup. "C'mon, Leland... it's the only education we got."

My result:

"Your soul is worth £47938. For your peace of mind, 14% of people have a purer soul than you."

And that was just my first try! ;-)

"...more than 1,000 studies have linked media violence with increased aggression in children..."

Any chance we can get a bill passed that stops wastes of mostly public funds on worthless studies.

While of course for amusement purposes only, I was taken by the fact that if I answer all of the questions exactly the same, except for the question on capitalism, I get quite different totals.

If I say that Capitialism is the future of our society, I am worth a mere 17,815.

Should I be enlightened enough to realise that capitalism is the work of the devil and NOT the future of our society, my soul is worth 26,722. Huh.

No fair! I just retook mine (it's been awhile). £27613.

It appears that someone's been backsliding a bit. ;-)

[Cathryn Crawford]

"Your soul is worth £47938. For your peace of mind, 14% of people have a purer soul than you."

You have a more pure soul than me?

Do you know what I say to that?

Whatever!

[Poohbah]

Wow. My figure was 33,787...and I believe capitalism is the future of our society.

[Cathryn Crawford]

It appears that someone's been backsliding a bit. ;-)

It appears someone else is Arthur Anderson-ing his results.

That's got to be the only explanation. :-)

ROFL.

It was your test, as I recall. And, obviously, it's a good one.

[Cathryn Crawford]

It was your test, as I recall. And, obviously, it's a good one.

I retain the right to disown all tests I show you. I officially disown that test.

See? It doesn't count anymore!
