Ack. I used to live in Spokane, WA. No one under the age of 21 is allowed to anything. You can't even sit in the bar of a restaurant and eat peanuts! What a crappy state.(Except for Bungie Studios, of course)

Yaaaay i can finaly sleep knowing that the anti videogame ass-blam!-s wont raid my house.

But on a more sereus note i thingk its rediculus that these poletitions and ultra liberal parent groups blame video games and other forms of medea for all the evils of the world.But ya know what everthing was fine until two insane tennagers decided to shoot up their cafetiria during lunchhour.I think if they took away video games violence would increase rather than deacrease(just take a look at phroabition how that faild misrably and made normal law abiding people into criminals).the same thing would hapen exept this time the mobsters would be smuggling games and game systems.If all these poletitions where wright then with all the violent games i play ide be the next <insert Evil person here>.Personaly ime afraid of guns and knives becaus i know what they can do and how i could hurt myself with them.On a final note video games dont kill people people kill people.


not only that,but video games are a $9 billion a year industry,and that amount is growing. how much do you think that would decrease if all the violent video games were taken away. violent video games are good,but game developers,lets not overdo it.

Just a few comments, blue elite I assume you mean ultra conservative rather than ultra liberal. Just to dig into this a little further, parents should take more responsibility as to what their children see and hear. Although every kid is different, no child should be allowed to play videogames with lots of violence or gore. At an early age, kids are very impressionable and before a certain point they can be heavily influenced by the media and practically everything they come into contact with. That point after which they have a well grounded sense of reality and can differentiate between what is real and fabricated is different for every kid, so parents need to step up.

Also, just a counterpoint to the $9 billion a year industry, not all of that comes from ultra violent video games. Also consider this, the drug industry generates a huge amount of money both inside and outside of the country, but that doesn't mean it should be sanctioned.
