Postal 2 is popular? Maybe in her sick, depraved household[/b]
You have just proved my point, thank you good sir.
Remember though that in Postal 2 you can play the game without killing anyone, Infact at the end if your kill count is 0 you get the title "Jesus".
If they are angry about the violence in Postal 2, Why in the hell are they doing it in the first place? They must be sick, sick bastards if they actually doing the pissing on people and killing them....
The way I read it is that they mean popular in terms of these ongoing arguments. The game isn't popular, its violence is with the anti-gaming crowd.

"I still don't think that it is appropriate for young children to see that amount of violence," Keeley said, noting specifically the examples of games like Postal 2 [http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Auto-IV-Xbox-360/dp/B000FRU1UM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1288898588&sr=8-1]. And although state-level courts have ruled unanimously on numerous occasions that such laws are in violation of the First Amendment, Keeley disagrees. "I don't believe it is protected speech when you are showing someone, a young adult, how to beat up a homeless person," she added.
"Yes, because it's not the MOMMY/DADDY who buy videogames, it's not NEVER the MOMMY/DADDY Fault. It ALWAYS those evil, evil game developers."

These Parents needs to learn some responsibility, and better put that money to good use like...I don't know, Parental Learning centers?

I still find it hard to fathom that these witless morons are using Postal 2 to say that all videogames should be restricted.
Not hard to understand, just grab a game, any game, that will get the handwringing set on the phone to their local politicians and bleating. Michael 'fucko' Atkinson did it with Rapelay when talking up his opposition to R18 games in Australia despite the fact that classification parity with other media would still see the game refused classification (if not outright banned). Logic has no place when you're getting set for some self-righteous cockwaving.

What is with all the crazies in Delaware? You guys might want to check your bottled water.
On behalf of all of Delaware, I'd like to publicly apologize for all the stupid that has been coming out of this state recently.

It's happening exactly as we feared, politicians are going to jump on the bandwagon the moment we concede any ground. I'll be pleased to see their reactions when we inevitably win the case, though.

How much you bet that when the law is turned down, there will be a bunch of politicians, like Yee, who'll say something along the lines of "This is a sad day in America."

If that happens, I will laugh.

Apparently, she completely disregards the existence of wrestling on T.V., or most of any crime show in existence that children have easy access to.

As always, videogame ignorant politician is ignorant. What else seems to be new?

I'm really sick of people imposing their values on others, especially on ones relating to things children to see. Seriously, if it wasn't for society, this:
<image width=300>http://jameswaites.ilatech.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dingo.jpg
Would be an everyday occurence. Not to say that's good, but trying to hide children from the world is futile. Not only that, but if they want to protect them so badly, they should work to protect their own kids, rather than censor everything in an attempt to be lazy and pay less attention to what their kid is doing.

(I live in Delaware, thus am completely pissed off, hence the all Caps. I promise to never do all Caps again, but I think this occasion deserves it.)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

In all seriousness:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

SEE?! I EVEN POSTED IN 2 OTHER FORUMS THAT OTHER STATES WOULD BE GETTING READY FOR THIS SHIT IF CALIFORNIA WON! I FUCKING CALLED IT! BUT FFS, WHY IS MY HOME STATE THE FIRST ONE GETTING READY, BEFORE THE CASE IS EVEN FUCKING DECIDED?!?!?!?

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET THE EMA WIN THIS CASE!

/rage

*sighs* Sometimes I am ashamed to live in Delaware...
Agreed and I have said as much as well. If the people of escapist believe for a second that their state will not be effected, you will be wrong. There are MANY states on the fence about what move they should make. Do not be surprised if you see a 50/50 split in the United States if it passes.
I believe that my state was one of the nine in support of the EMA so I'm probably safe unless a law like this goes federal in which case I take back everything bad I ever said about Canada and start looking at house prices.

I don't see this law passing. It just doesn't seem like it will and even if it does, it will most definitely not be permanent. It would be the most hypocritical thing a government has ever done in the field of Entertainment. There have been statements about Movies being violent, and about comics, And I don't believe anyone has ever rioted due to a video game like they did in the in the early 20th century (Gotta love Orson Wells.)
