Should be interesing to hear what the arguments are. I hope we win.

The main argument I suppose being that in a video game, you are the one who is by proxy committing the terrible acts, as opposed to merely watching/reading about them.ultrachicken said:Why? Why do these people feel the need to go out of their way to stop violent games? There are far worse books and movies.
You just won the game, sir. I completely agree to you.James Hueick said:Oh jesus not one of these again. I don't understand why there are so many of these cases. Does the government truly think that parents can't take care of their kids themselves or at least let the kids decide what they want to buy/rent. Keeping kids from violence and sex just hides them from the real world then once they're out there by themselves they're scared shitless. I hope this whole thing is overruled.
Arnie's not the problem so much as California state senator Leland Yee, who would clearly be much more at home if we deported him to China and gave him a time machine to stick him in the middle of the Cultural Revolution.Last Bullet said:I now know what to post in this thread: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.228688-Not-this-shit-again-moments?page=1 Seriously, after a few losses, you think Arnie would just walk away already.
I believe that I do too.Last Bullet said:I now know what to post in this thread: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.228688-Not-this-shit-again-moments?page=1
Outlaw the SALE OF "overly" violent video games, to minors. As in, instead of it simply being store policy to not sell M rated games to the youngin's, it would actually be a misdemeanor.Batsamaritan said:Can any american please tell me why I see republicans like the austrian oak mr schwarzenegger trying to outlaw violent videogames?
But movies and books tend to try to make you sympathize with the one doing all the killing. Which is worse?MisterShine said:The main argument I suppose being that in a video game, you are the one who is by proxy committing the terrible acts, as opposed to merely watching/reading about them.ultrachicken said:Why?
