Read the Majority Opinion written by Justice Scalia.
He lays it out in simple English.

And out of the Five Conservative Justices only Thomas dissents.
And he's joined by only one Liberal. There's something wrong with that picture.

In reality what you want is to be driven back under the hole you crawled out of just the same as every dictator eventually gets.

According the American Psychological Association, violent video games can increase children’s aggression.

The APA has also declared that homosexuality is not a mental illness. So why bother with their "opinion"?

Re-read my statements. I am defending our right to representation on community standards.

Well, at least homosexuality used to be a mental illness!

The left are rebels without a clue, raging against any form of authority.

With one exception: when they are the ones wielding the authority!!

No, what I want is for you and your extended family to be arrested for daring to declare you want decency standards. Then I want you put on boxcars, and sent to concentration camps, where we decide if the value to the State to work you to death, exceeds the value of the gold in your teeth. If the value of the gold in your teeth is more than your ability to labor in the iron mines, underground, then we ask that you take a 'shower'. Inside the shower is a Zyklon-B delivery system. If you are compliant enough, we MIGHT allow your family to 'shower' together. Then your last moments can be spent together.

Probably not, though. We who insist on less government interference in family decisions, we are a cruel lot.

Read Thomas’ opinion. He disagrees, and I think he is right on the money. The ruling gives children First Amendment rights that are apart from their parents. I’m sorry that you don’t see able to understand that.

You who insist on denying the People their right to representation while using personal freedom as a rouse for creating totalitarian rule. You are showing yourself to agree with a ruling that declares that the Poeple have no right to representation within their state.

As I said before there are plenty of countries that deny people any right to representation within their communities. Why don’t you go move to one since you prefer that type of state.

If you try to infringe on my right to representation then you will be driven back into the hole you crawled out of eventually.

“Both Scalia and Alito concurred with judgement. Essentially the judgement was that video games fall into the same category as books and other media that are protected by the 1st amendment.”

Yes, and this is a travesty. The ruling says that children have the First Amendment right to purchase such materials. If you think that its good that kids have THE RIGHT to any materials that are protected, then all I can say is that I disagree. And I’m not even respectful about it. I find that opinion excreble.

Next we lose the right to representation on laws prohibiting pornography to children.

Next we lose the right to representation on laws prohibiting alcohol and drugs to children.

Next we lose the right to representation on making laws prohibiting sexual relations with children (the age of consent).

This tyrannical ruling sets the stage for all of that. It is an activist ruling that takes away our right to representation.

No, I prefer to bring a Fascist Police State whereinwhich government is not able to bring forceable standards to the community. We will grind you under the HEEL of lack-of-regulation. We are OPPRESSIVE in that we refuse to force people to do things.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

It is obvious that you do not believe in representative government for and by the People as our Founders do. There is a rich history of community standards and laws supported by the Framers yet you don’t like majority rule and so you want to impose your libertarian hippie anarchism through a dictate by the Court.

So are you against all government regulations or do you just pick and choose which ones? Are you all for sex and nudity in public? It isn’t hurting anyone, it only offends the morality of a majority, so I guess you want laws struck down that try to impose that community standard as well or possibly you are a hypocrite.

And are you against having parents tell other parents when their children are ready for sexual relations? Of course you are unless you are a hypocrite.

Yes, I want to impose libertarian hippy 60's anarchism. Here's my subversive plan:

Okay, there's these videogames, right? And they can be violent. So a bunch of busybody California nutcases demanded that they be banned.

MY BRILLIANT PLAN, TO BRING WOODSTOCK 1969 BACK, IS TO CONVINCE THE SUPREME COURT THAT THESE BANS ARE WRONG! And then, Country Joe and The Fish will once again perform on stage and we can all take LSD. Well, not the Brown Acid, that stuff isn't good.

It is obvious that you do not know what you are talking about in the least and try to desperately find a way to humorously cover that ignorance.

“Yes, I want to impose libertarian hippy 60’s anarchism. Here’s my subversive plan: “

That’s cool. What’s even better? Minor children will have the First Amendment right to participate because it’s protected speech.

Yippee.

“We might as well live in a dictatorship if we are not allowed to have representation in the making of laws to reflect public decency.”

You have a bizarre understanding of dictatorship.

I've been having a great deal of fun at your expense today, but I'll answer this one earnestly: It's called discernment. In turn, if you are in favor of all government regulations, then you must love the EPA closing everything over carbon emissions.

No? You aren't? I suggest maybe you are using discernment.

In America, we may disagree about where the lines are set without calling eachother fascists, anarchists, or hippies. Of course, you may if you wish, and I will be right here to mock you about it.

Are you all for sex and nudity in public?

Dude.

I'm Lazamataz.

What the hell do you think I'd say?
