11 States Favor California Game Law

I dont agree. I think that will further criminalize the image of games. Here in my state, you could't by "the bible game" at target without presenting valid ID. I know because I tried to pick a copy up for my niece.

Even if you where obviously over 18, or 30, or grey and wrinkled their policy states they cant sell any game without ID. Thats a little extream, but it shows that a lot of places are like that already. We dont need more laws restricting games sales because kids will find a way to play these games anyways.

Take Australia, where no M rated game is even legal, and yet most kids in that country still play the most violent games because you really cant stop them from getting them. And thats when its illegal even.

The real solution is parents being more aware and more involved with their children. This isnt something you can solve with restrictions. More laws wont change anything, and its pretty sad that some people think that way, rather then taking personal accountability for their kids.

Parents dont care anymore, most people run around thinking I cant punish my child so I will buy them alot of video games and stuff and that will be the punishment, loss of video game use.

Which has led to death.

I agree with everything Bob says.
So yeah. Everything I wanna say has been said already. Yup.
Thanks Bob!

Lawl. I bought that game several years ago with no problem o.o Bought it for my dad as a joke gift. Also, that game is messed up. One of the mini-games is called "False Idols" and you push statues of Egyptian gods into burning lava. I'm sure they wanted to use symbols of modern religions and couldn't... >_> Anyway, that was thoroughly off-topic.

But yeah. I think we need like a test you need to pass before you should be allowed to procreate. But whatever *cough*

I completely second this. I hate parents that just don't pay attention to what they're buying for their 9-year-old kid. Kids don't have the reasoning skills that adults possess... some adults anyway. But I'm talking about knowing better, when the kid is naturally not able to know any better. Unlike the adult in the situation. So I agree that parents need to have some personal accountability. It's infuriating that parents just dismiss the content of a game then complain when they find out what content there is.

Ahem, who really cares? Games are games, I've seen pretty bad (gorey) flash games that were way worse than any M rated game that I bought at the store. Kids will play games. There is nothing you can really do to stop it. Unless you want to lock a kid in their room all day and night and don't allow them to play any sort of game.

last time I checked you can still spank your child so if they get out of control from video games put them back in control by turning their ass red.

Then that's when the 'child abuse' law comes in check..... All these laws are annoying.. <.< I wouldn't be surprised if they made a law where you can't yell at your child... <.<

[Jokersvirus]

In most states its only abuse if marks are left on the body. I never seen someone get a bruise from getting spanked.
