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.
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.
A) I recalled his campaign ad's mentioning his political affiliation. Seeing your comment I did a google search to double check: http://www.smartvoter.org/2002/11/05/ca/state/vote/yee_l/
Low and Behold, Democrat and his political philosophy is more liberal than your average Dem at that.
B) I get sick of the Religious Right being so heavily associated with Conservatives. I wish the Religious nut jobs from the bible belt would form their own splinter party. That way the Republican party could have an image other than socially-intolerant bigots.
