Guest Chaos Pudding Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Resolved (because Matt can't understand it any other way...): It is the guardian's responsibility to regulate the actions of their dependents, provided that proper information is given to the guardians. Whereas, video games haven't consistently been shown to increase aggression. Whereas, most lawmakers who propose such legislation are totally and irreparably ignorant to the actual content of the games which they feel should be restricted. Discuss.

Arekku_Koro Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I believe M rated games glamorize Violence and Profanity, and should not be sold to people who are at the age where this would impact them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am, after all, one of them. It's just when the government directly interacts with individuals in ways that restrict their freedoms that I get upset.

Which is why we all need to shut up until opposition arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
