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.
OK, Im kinda drunk right now. Which means I cant read all of the post here (61, Jesus H christ). Anyways, It IS true that playing FPS can teach you combat strategy, but lets get real here peeps, video games or movies or books don't put a gun in a kids hands and makes him kill. GOD, I am so sick of these retards living in glass houses throwing stones. If you have a healthy relationship with your childeren they will be just fine. Stop pointing fingers and look in the mirror.
