^^^That line in bold is complete bullshit. It's not up to the government to decide anything like that! We live in a country that supposedly has free speech so it's the governments job not to censor a fucking thing! It's the parents job to take some responsibility for their fucking kids and monitor what games their kids are playing or what music they're listening to or what movies they are watching, not the governments!

I look at violent video games just like R-rated movies or CDs with advisory. They are not intended for kids in the first place. They are intended for adults. If parents cant control what their kids are doing, then they need to exert a little bit more effort because it can be done. What they shouldn't do is say 'Why does the government let my kid go buy this stuff?' They're not! You are!

Also, what's so bad about JFk Reloaded? I saw a movie several years ago starring Kevin Costner all about the JFK assassination. Why wasn't that banned? My kids could have seen it... :rolleyes:
