Oh a perfect topic for a 350th post! This is Grade A bullshit, I've been bitching about things like this for a few years but I never imagined someone would tak it this far...treating violent games like pornography...wraping up the games in paper so 'kids' can't see them. What is this supposed to solve, other than giving kids even less outlets for anger rage and frustration. For some reason America is starting to accept the idea that violence and sexuality aren't normal parts of human nature and they think that if they eliminate as much overt violence as possible all the problems of the world will go away.

Somehow we're forgetting that long before video games, TV, and movies people still raped, they still murdered, and they still did it just because they felt like doing it at the time. We can blame whatever we want, but if you take a perfectly good person, and put them under enough pressure, they'll react with violence. They don't need to have seen it on a video game either, it's just in us. Maybe someday this country will accept that and try educate kids well. Instead of ignoring them and trying to make a world where kids can just figure everything in life out on their own in perfect safety, with no supervision needed from adults. This world can't be lived in by adults, because the adult world isn't safe, and tossing kids into it defenseless is as good as societal suicide.

That's where I think this country is headed, toward the dream that everyone will be exactly the same, never do anything but work and consume and there will be no need to waste time or attention on little things like children because the work and consume world will be so safe and peaceful that the kids can just train themselves

This isn't the fucking garden of Eden! Innocence was lost a long time ago, and no amount of repression or denial can ever bring it back.
