The Supreme Court to Take a Look at California Video Game Case

That's how it usually always is in the UK.
FOX down here really isn't that bad, the news anchors read the stories with the Republican bias then express their own opinions, which are democratic, so you get both sides of the story
I like this law. It weeds out some of the annoying kids on X-Box Live.
I buy violent video games all the time nobody gives a shit in Canada an I'm 15
[QUOTE=Cheesemonkey;21585647]you know what, i don't get the hate on fox news. they actually are pretty fair and balanced compared to the other news networks. any bias is in, oh gee, in opinion segments. even then the opinion segments are fairly moderated too.[/QUOTE]
I used to think the same thing until I met Glaber.
I doubt it will pass, the Supreme Court will most likely rule it a violation of 1st Amendment Rights.

I hear constant insane anti-liberal conspiracy theories from FOX but I never hear anything against conservatives.
Wow I've lived in California all my life and I thought this was a global law. Makes sense to me that you wouldn't sell a little kid an M rated game when their by themselves
[quote]Last year, the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals expressed sympathy with California lawmakers who were attempting to protect children from the potentially harmful effects of exposure to violent video games, but nonetheless ruled against the law.
A unanimous three judge panel concluded the law was too broad and that the state didn't sufficiently link the video games to a concern that minors exposed to the games will be more likely to commit violent crimes. It further held that even if the state were able to make such a link, there are other measures the state could have taken that wouldn't threaten First Amendment protections.[/quote]
Even if it did it wouldn't give them the right to pass laws about it.

The rating system is entirely voluntary and the ESRB is not a government agency.
Laws should not be passed which rely on their ratings. Nor should a government funded version of the ESRB be created.
The government really just needs to fuck off.
Also even though Fox is usually :downs: I don't see a problem with this article, so I don't get why you felt the need to put that logo here.

I agree. It feel like it wasn't necessary, but the logo slogan meant Fox News in general, not the article.
Everyone hates Fox because of-
A: Glenn Beck
B: The Republican Stories, not the anchors.
Ive been playing 18+ games ever since I was 6.
My dad just told me to keep in mind that it's not real and I understood it. They haven't made me violent or anything, I think that I am pretty "normal" if you know what I mean.
I would let my own kids buy the games as long as im sure they know that they aren't real and make sure they aren't affected by the games.

Agreed. Also, if they are a 'little-off', then I'm sure gonna punish thoes dumb-asses till' they like learning. I like learning, that's why I'm smart, anyone can be smart, you just got to like it. Nowadays everyone is lazy as shit (mainly in US) and need to read more books.
I played Doom through my childhood. :v:
wait, doesn't the M rating mean above 17? Does that mean that you wouldn't be able to buy an M game that was on some sort of list even if you were over 17? Unless it's only for those few games that are rated A. We seriously need a new rating system or at least a less distorted one, I mean Half Life 2 is rated M and there wasn't that much violence in that game and even the creepy parts weren't that bad and had hardly any swearing and the only time fuck is used is when you can barely hear it, yet there are other games that are practically gore fests with people constantly swearing that share the same exact rating.
When I went to buy the new AvP game from EB Games(I had a voucher), I had completely forgotten that it was MA15+(I am 14) but decided to try my luck anyway. I got the game without a single question as to my age.
The system works!
Although admittedly I look older than 14.
They might repeal, against 1st Amendment.
Mostly, its the parent's fault. Here is the ESRB for the dumbass parents:
eC: Buy this for you little kiddies.
E: Buy if over 6, if it has violence, don't be an idiot.
E10: This is not for all, only people over 10 years old. They rated it E10 for a reason.
T: Is your child 13+, if so, buy, if not, don't.
M: This game is rated Mature for a reason. So the people who are old enough doesn't have to hear your bitchy kid yell on the mic, and this has shitloads of violence, swears(fuck ass shit), may have some nudity.
AO: If you buy this game for your kid, you don't deserve to be a parent you stupid fucking shit.
I might get a job at a certain game company, I will not give a little kid a Mature rated game without ID, real one as well. Might say so that you don't contaminate the online world of XBL/PSN/PC.
