i have heard from friends that hillary clintan wants to ban all m rated games like HALO.What do you mature gamers think about this?

Estne volumen in toga an solum tibi libet me videre?

Nothing suits me like a suit.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

I think this belongs in The Flood.

Anyways, its just another case if adults finding a scapegate for their kids. They think kids are perfect and impressionable. When they act out in violent ways, it must be all the (insert game here) they play.

Halo3Planet, the place for all things Halo 3..

Need help finding skulls, make sure to go here.

I would assume this would go against a company's rights to free speech. But, I think she wants to make it tougher to sell the more graphic games.

Why can't she focus on the more important issues such as kids who live "Below the Influence." Those are the kids to focus on. I mean more kids are below the influence than kids that commit violent acts off of video games.

Remember guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Anyways, I love violence in video games with the exception of Gears cause I hate that game. Its boring, now trying to ban a M rated games includes Halo and by banning Halo your also trying to ban Microsoft and Bungie which is like, impossible.

Hilary Cliinton just pulled a Jack Thompson on us

I get more ass than a toilet seat.

She is the man Jack Thompson! Yes I think her platform should be "Change, we must change the change in our changing world by changing the videogame industry for the better of change. (Notice all the *change* in the sentence)

S3NATOR has brilliantly taken the next philosophical and theoretical step, and advanced mankind once more. For that, I'm forever grateful.

*lollernadoes*

I think the rules for buying a Mature rated game should be more strict and heavily enforced so that maybe there will be less under age kids playing Mature rated games. But as for banning Mature games, no thats a bad idea.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

eh... this would belong in the flood, but last I checked, there is still no political discussion allowed on the public forums. There are plenty of groups that would be glad to have this discussion.

I think America has bigger issues to deal with than the "threat" of Mature video games.

im saying this because shes not just putting m rated games out of stores but shes putting bungie out of buisness and im pretty sure we all LOVE BUNGIE.

Forum Rules for those who care to know what they are.

"Bs: Blame stosh for all of your BS!"

Hillary Clinton is narcissistic and she is crazy as far as her intentions are, but i don't want to go into politics. Without a doubt, she should have no opinion on game ratings; they are like movie ratings and are ultimately up to the parent to decide who gets to see/play what, not her. That is the truth.

Games are a form of entertainement, just like the movies, and she has no bearing on why companies, like Bungie, should go out of business. "M" ratings are sometimes easily stretched, like the first Halo was actually a Teen game, but politicians(who don't know -blam!-) made ESRB raise the characterisitcs of an "M" and "T" game. It's just plain blasphomy.

I am a penguin. Every day I boogie on down to the water, and eat fish. Once, while fishing in the deepest depths, I saw great Cthulhu... And he said to me "Shine, to thine own self be true. They can't tell you what to do once you've gone guru." Also, I should tell you, "slide".

Oh, I love those parents on Fox and the such. One of my favorite arguments they use is how they don't have the time to watch what their kids are playing... yet they have plenty of time to protest the ones that involve any bloodshed.

Maybe more parents shouldn't let their kids play violent games; Halo would be a lot nicer if all the six year olds weren't playing it... or invading the forums.

My YouTube Channel. Just getting into the Machinima business.

I think she said something along the lines of, 'If it was up to me, I would ban all M-rated video games.' Now I take this as an ideal situation, not an action plan she has on her agenda.
