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.
Low and Behold, Democrat and his political philosophy is more liberal than your average Dem at that.
#1) It's lo, not low.
#2) What philosophy is that? Balanced economy, lots of jobs, curtailing corporate welfare and fraud, fair taxation, curtailing pork barreled military-industrial complex waste, no war, et cetera? Yeah, sounds horrible to me.
#3) The religious right are associated with Republicans because they are both bigots and hypocrites by nature.
Bigot: One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ. The only thing the left is intolerant of is intolerance.
