They can't legally buy the game, because Gamestop won't let them on account of the ESRB.danpascooch said:
Banning Violent Games Tops Conservative's To Do List

Why don't you enlighten whilst you post, "Research the American Justice system" is a pretty broad answer to give so vaguely.Vrach said:
He's also entitled to his opinion, you just posted "L2Readnoob".
OT: So really what is this big deal?
Don't you guys have the PEGI ratings on your video games anyway? It just means they're enforcing what they should be doing anyway, surely?
Infact reading it makes it look like a no change, "Without parents consent", so essentially all they're saying is
"You can't buy the lastest Blood and Gore 2: More gore unless your parents say so".
Ok?
How is that bad?
There is no law saying minor's can't buy violent games or games rated M by the ESRB, it might be harder for them to do it because of Gamestops STORE POLICIES (IE NOT a LAW) but it's entirely legal for them to do it. And Gamestop isn't the only place in the world to buy videogames.captaincabbage said:

I laugh at these old people, let them take away this generations fun, we will in turn take away their social security. Stand strong gamer brethren soon we will be banning our kids stuff!
Sure they can, it's entirely legal for kids to buy M rated games (In USA anyway) it's Gamestop's store policy (that they only enforce sporadically) that stops them, and even then it only stops them if they choose to buy the game AT GAMESTOP.kikon9 said:
Hmmm, I don't mind this. Hell, I'm 17 as of last December, and it's already Californian Law, so it's not actually that bad. All I see is her attempting to make that into a nation-wide deal. Still, not that bad, not gonna stop kids from getting their COD, cos all they have to do now is send their parents out to do it instead.
The point is, if you want to make an argument, make one that doesn't make you look like a fool for knowing nothing about which you pretend to know much.HG131 said:
It's only misleading if you jump in with the preconceived notion that its intention is to bash Conservatives because:deth2munkies said:
1.) You hate Conservatives yourself
OR
2.) You are used to seeing Conservatives get bashed, and are projecting that expectation onto the title.
What would you have called it? "Woman who just happens to be a Conservative and is not representative of the party as a whole wants Violent Video Games banned"?
Because it SHOULD be mentioned that she is conservative (because that's standard practice, if it was a Liberal, that should be mentioned too) and that alternative title is pretty fucking wordy.
Stop being so sensitive, you conservatives always make trouble where there isn't any! (that was a joke)
Social conservatives will be the death of this nation; not economic conservatives, just social ones.
Scratch that, just the insane ones.

This.... this bothers me.
Not really cause she wants to do it, thats never really gone out of style. Videogames are the hot topic issues, and conservatives appeal to the group that dont particularly find the direction videogames are taking... acceptable, lets just say that. Mostly cause of the other two things she wants to do. The videogame thing always happens and goes up for debate.
But I think it will yield the same results as past motions have.

Oh waiting and hoping for that day too my friend, lets just hope they arent declared illegal by that time :/ (I doubt it'l happen but you know what I mean)Onyx Oblivion said:
I've never worked in gamestop I did apply like most people I know but didnt get hired. I can only imagine the cartman like whining and rage inducing tantrums you have endure while just smiling back and secretly wishing the child gets attacked by a gremlin on the way home.... Think its a good thing I never got the job actually
Well last time I checked games rated M aren't that violent when you stack them up against R18 or MA15+ games. Btw I live in Australia, so game laws do affect how kids buy violent games.danpascooch said:
I always hated this lady, because she was anti-femminist.
Either she thinks women shouldn't be equal to men, which is evil, OR she wants men to treat women like they were treated in the days of old, which is stupid.

Try and convince their voters they are synonomous with libertarians? (and fail?)DarkRyter said:
