Not eveyone on this forums lives in the US, so let me educate you all on something that has been irritating the hell out of several million gamers.
Anti-game Legislation, a susposed "protector" of the children, is beening pushed into the goverment by idiot's and morons. There evidence for putting up the legislation is spotty, there arguments flawed. And FIANLY someone has stood up and told them to STOP
Who: Judge Matthew Kennelly
What: He didnt just rule that Anti-game Legislation is unconstitutinal (well no duh) but he continues to say truths like
├óÔé¼┼ô[t]he priceless heritage of our society is the
unrestricted constitutional right of each member to think as he will. Thought control is a
copyright of totalitarianism, and we have no claim to it. It is not the function of our Government
to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government
from falling into error.├óÔé¼┬Ø
In fact, the
underinclusiveness of this statute ├óÔé¼ÔÇ£ given that violent images appear more accessible to
unaccompanied minors in other media ├óÔé¼ÔÇ£ indicates that regulating violent video games is not
really intended to serve the proffered purpose.
├óÔé¼┼ôthe government cannot silence
protected speech by wrapping itself in the cloak of parental authority.├óÔé¼┬Ø
we agree that the definition of violent video games is
unconstitutionally vague
Three cheers for Freedom of Speech
and three boo's and hisses for Censors!
Finaly!
