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.
....so it is okay to:
Brainwash kids into following a certain church and tell them if they dont do as they are told they are going to go to a place where they will burn in eternal damnation.
Teach children that Thanksgiving is about the pilgrims and indians getting together and having a peace feast.
Sell sugar and caffine loaded drinks to them, cuz you know all that shit is good for them.
Sell sugar loaded cereals to them and post a cute cartoon character on them and throw cheap ass toys in the boxes.
"Happy meals", 'nuff said.
Make 30 minute cartoons that have no more than 30 animation cells and 5 backgrounds per 10 episodes used in different combinations that sell cheap ass little cards. Hey, kids are stupid and they dont know any different, right? Give me an 85 episode space opera over a bunch of lazily drawn "monstors" any fucking day.
All these things that are just so great for kids but you know games like GTA where kids are taught the ways of stealing cars and helicopters or games where they are taught how to storm a beach in normandy or kill off an elite counter-terrorist team that trains for years are EXTREMELY bad for them.
I wonder what these puds think about Americas Army...
