Dont these people realize that minors must have parents approval, and that video games are not real?
They are Idiots

They don't seem to get it do they?
Mature rated videogames are not just being given to these kids. The parents are the ones that are disregarding ESRB/Pegi's warning labels on the boxes. They buy the game for little Billy then turn around and say it's the games industry fault that they didn't make an informed decision about what they bought.

This has convinced me. It's over.

I'm quitting videogames to go read the bible, not have sex, and have wholesome fun.

Have fun, you bunch of thugs.

What is it with parents anyway?

Does cranking out a child automatically instil a person with a zealous desire to rid the world of anything that might threaten the purity of their little darling?
In short....yeah pretty much.

ok i read your block o text and whilst it has some convincing arguments im fairly certain no member of government wants to drop a revenue stream, or the jobs created from the gaming industry, i fully expect a lot of idiots to rally against it, but i imagine the youth outnumber them hugely, and could easily overturn any ridiculous rules put in place. But maybe your government system is just funky, i have never bothered to look into it because there's too many complex and unessacary layers to it.
This government is filled with ridiculous people. I remember watching a debate on the issue of Universal Health Care Reform in the House of Reps (maybe the Senate, didn't watch very long, you'll see why) and the Republican that was against it was holding, no joke, a baby and was saying in a "baby voice"(as in he was speaking what the baby would be saying) "Don't put more taxes on me just for other people's health care." The many people like this in our government and in the country in general are what scare the crap out of me and will take this law completely out of Context and many states will ban them (since it won't be in control of the federal government because this is a state law going up to the court so if ti passes it means the power is in the hands of the state to regulate video games because they're not covered under free speech or expression).

I had a good laugh here, which was all that was needed towards the subject matter of this article.

In other news, the earth is nearing another the completion of one full rotation around the sun.

OT: Are you people surprised, these people wanted a britney spears song taken off radio for apparently a having a cuss word in it, and criticizes youtube for not filtering out profanity.

They are part of "The Anti-Fun brigade" so to speak.

well now im never moving to the states but i still stand by my statement, its a fairly large industry generating wealth and jobs, i really don't see it being shut down. But whatever i have faith in such things as common sense.
I see what you mean but about the no member of government wants to drop a revenue stream, they might not drop it intentionally, but like I said the Television and Film industry have been jealous of the Video Game Industry for quite a while now and would definitely want for video games to be regulated so the money stream from us (since the Industry is more profitable than they are now) will go back to them.

Am I missing something. If you are the parents TELEVISION council shouldn't you be more concerned with violent Shows and movies rather than games. Mostly though I just find this funny.

Good general rule: Never believe anything that is being said by a group with either Parents or Family in its name. They always have some odd bias that makes reality an alien concept to them.

The only 'bullying' I see going on here is a bunch of small minded twits trying to impose their arbitrary morality on people that don't want it, and using emotion and propaganda to get their way.

"responsibility and decency to the entertainment industry" As soon as you see that you know these people are not right in the head.
