Not to mention premature baldness and pedophilia. Hey, I'd like to see these guys PROVE otherwise!DVS BSTrD said:
Can we put a warning label over his mouth since listening to him talk makes me want to be violent?
What really grinds my gears about all this is that he's introducing such pointless and unnecessary legislation when the state of California is in one of the worst financial states it's ever been through. I can accept, if not approve, wasting congressional time and taxpayer money in periods of excess, but when the government is broke to the point of delaying tax returns is not such a period.
The only thing video games made me have aggressive tendencies towards is stuffy old bastards that don't know shit making massive assumptions about my mental state just because I enjoy playing video games.
Seriously politicians, will you fuck off with this shit already?

Game devs have a responsibility to no one, just like TV and movie industries don't have a responsibility, and those two things have children watching them more than playing games. Bullshit legislation from a bullshit old white man wanting to get votes from soccer-moms who believe this bullshit.
Making me break out the chart again.

Why do all of these old farts suddendly forget that we already have a rating system?, also, if a kid gets his filthy mitts on an M rated game, that's because of bad parenting, because these products already aren't sold to underage little bastards.
I wouldn't like to see a mindless and stupid warning label on my games like if I'm buying a damn box of cigarrettes.

"FOR THE CHILDRENS!"
Yeah. This is just more lobby-whoring with tunnel-vision scientific "proof".
Keep the proud tradition alive; Generic Rich Old White Guy.

with a all due respect sire BUT WE ALREADY HAVE THOSE SINCE 1994!
is it that hard to run ESRB PSA,s? I think Penny Arcade already had posters on it simply print them and put them up near gaming stores.

The industry does inform families and parents, and most of them just don't care, because people are stupid and negligent and enjoy remaining free of accountability in their own heads.
Bottom line. Fuck. Off. Dude, unless you can cure the human race of stupidity this just puts another meaningless hurdle in the way of publishers and impedes both profitability of the industry and creativity.
You. Douche.
I can also safely say that studies might also find over 80% of legislation submitted to congress is utter bullshit forwarding agendas that profit mainly the person that submitted them.
Fancy that.

Could someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought violence in video games was linked to causing earthquakes and watching Arnie films was linked to aggresive behaviour? Or was it Beyonce that they linked to aggresive behaviour (I can never remember)?
Oh and grapefruits cause tumors, the iPad causes the polar ice caps to melt, the moon is linked to wine going off and I've not been linked to anything because I'm far too wily, like the fox.
Mr. Congressman, since you seem so interested in psychology, did you know that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?
Just sayin'.
I swear, these California politicians never learn. Did Leland Yee's epic failure teach them nothing?

That got me thinking, imagine how many people who buy Call of Duty every year are under 17/18. Millions and that's just one example look at other huge selling games like Mass Effect or GTA. The idea is to keep all these sales from happening, that's a huge amount of money that isn't going anywhere then.lacktheknack said:
