I disagree 99% of the time with Chuckie Schmuckie but I agree with him on this one.... We need to protect out children against mind-damaging video games like this violent video garbage.
Me, too. It's nauseating to have to agree with Chuck Schumer...but there is NO redeeming value of this game. Let people order it secretly and have it delivered to their house in plain brown wrappers, like they get their hardcore porn.
This is nothing more or less than violence pornography.
Violent crime has pretty much been on a consistent decline during the entire video game era.
"We need to protect out children against mind-damaging video games like this violent video garbage."
Fine. You stop your kids from buying them and playing them, because they don't play these games anywhere but on a home video game system. They're rated M for mature. You can look at the box before they buy them, and the box after they bring them home, and tell very quickly they are inappropriate. The same M is advertised in the commercials.
How would you go farther? Movie theaters have essentially the same system. I don't see a lot of agitation on this board for banning R rated movies, but I'll look forward to hearing anyone forwarding that agenda being laughed at here. The free market system is not one that is supposed to be open only to products for sale to kids. If that we true, we'd all be stuck playing Candyland instead of poker and drinking Koolaid instead of Budweiser. And if you think that the world would be a better place without adults playing an occasional game of poker and drinking a cold can of Budweiser after work, then you probably ought not even waste your time replying to me.
