Bay Area Lawmaker Wants to Keep Minors from Buying Violent
Video Games (thanks HomeLAN
Fed) has word of an effort in the Bay Area to curtail minors' access to
violent video games that would classify all first-person shooters as adult only
by their very nature. Here's a bit: Assemblyman Leland Yee (D-San
Francisco) plans to introduce legislation this week that would keep minors from
purchasing first shooter videogames, where players need to kill in order to
advance.
“These first person shooter videogames really teach kids how to stalk and how
to maim and torture and kill people,” Yee said. “That’s not what we should
be doing for our kids.”
Yee is also a child psychologist, and he said, it is time to “draw the
line.”
The bill would penalize retailers and other stores that sell the games to anyone
under the age of 17. A second bill would require video game retailers to
separate children's games from adult games.

Yee's a liberal democrat, get your facts straight before spouting bullshit
The article doesn't mention the ill-informed wankers political leaning (not that I really care what party they belong to, all these pricks are the same) Besides my post was sarcastic, not factual. Maybe you should run for office, you certainly seem qualified on the wanker quota.
Anyway, its quite beyond me why the hell the US hasn't already enforced this law already. Other countries have had this kind of legislation for years.

P: I think so, Brain, but where are we going to find a duck and a hose at this hour? |
