Videogame regulation

[A Black Falcon]

The ruling is good because the law was so absurdly broad... and the law is stupid -- it targets just videogames. So movies and music aren't just as bad? Oh right, the generation who most of our politicians come from are used to movies and music, so they aren't as targetted... they certainly are some, but not as much and not as seriously. Double standards...

I was also saying 'isn't it nice that we live in a country more devoted to freedom of expression, in some ways, than European countries'... they have other advantages over the US, but in this field, we're clearly ahead. It may not seem that way when it results in allowing neo-nazis to sell music CDs, but it does when it means violent videogames aren't banned just because they are violent...

I'm not completely opposed to forcing age checks, though, if that's what it takes... there definitely are games that children shouldn't be playing, after all. The question is just finding the best way to keep such games away from people who shouldn't be playing them...
