GS: The amended law says any description of inappropriate violence, in any form, would be harmful to minors. The way I read that, it would mean that a game review or an editorial in a newspaper could fall under the law if it describes what\'s so objectionable about the game, and I\'m wondering if that was part of the intent of the law.

FM: Say that again one more time. I don\'t see that at all, but let me make sure I understood the question.

GS: The law says that any description of inappropriate violence, and it specifies "in any form," would be harmful to minors.

FM: I have to take a look at that one. I don\'t know the answer to that without taking a look at it.  


Silly silly politicians.

Actually, that interview was kind of soft. I disagree with that law.
 
I think the self-policing policies are enough and that the objectionable material is not actually the harmful to kids who seek it out despite the regulations.
 
On one hand, I\'m old enough to have all the games and porn I want (yippee...), but some kids aren\'t and I don\'t think we should fine a teen who wants to play Resident Evil.
 
But I\'m a 23-year-old nonconstituent so I can keep my big mouth shut.
 
Interesting read, though.

I was playing MK when i was 12. I didn\'t end up a violet nutter with issues trying to rip off peoples heads..

Comes down to the individual imo, parents should take responsibility for their kids, not governments.  Personally, i couldn\'t care less about that law.

I think the problem is that the law would also stop parents from buying Adult games for their kids....

That\'d be like saying parents can\'t let their kids watch a rated R DVD....

Fuck the kids, let them grow up or be more responsible.

Spoiled kids today with their cell phones and $600 consoles.

:lmao:

I\'m against this kind of thing. I mean you can\'t keep this shit from kids forever. I think its up to the parents. But whatever, I could care less though. I\'m old enough where any law would affect me. I can watch porn, play violent and offensive video games and watch porn.

Yeah I was around that age when I first played it. I even made it a point to quickly find the "Blood Code". ;) Wasn\'t it like A, B, A, C, A, B, B or something?

Yeah. I mean...parents are responsible for what their kids play. There\'s ratings for a reason. I don\'t know how much things would change if the law is passed. It\'s all kind of silly.

Yeah. Things probably won\'t change much, in my opinion.

As stated by previous members, should be the parents who are responsible for whats going on.  Simple as that.  Not sure how someone could really argue against it.

Oh and Evi, you suck at quoting.
