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.
Im not sure voting has anything to do with it, its fairly obvious that Democracy can and is being subverted by capitalism and selfserving politcial groups not intrested in the betterment of socity or humanity but there own pocket at least here in the US.
Actually it takes more than parents to help kids understand socity and morals, especially during teenage years. It could be done with small grants for places like Big Brother, YMCA and just like they teach kids to play together sports well, now that Video games are bigger than movies, books so will surpass sports (my oppinon), its is more important than ever that it be intergraded, educational level somewhere.
Personaly I wouldnt give a kid under 12 a super violent game.
I really DONT like our government enticing kids to play a goverment funding war game, so they think its cool to join the military so they can go kill people. Im not saying all the kids feel that way but some do and its not right, the kids are to young to know better.

A truck is not a speech.A horn is not a voice.Occupation is not a protest.A blockade is not freedom,it blocks the liberty of all.
A demand to overthrow a government is not a dialogue.Expression of hate is not a difference of opinion.A lie is not the truth
