America’s number 1 problem is their stupidity problem. Of course, it’s video games. What about TV, movies, wrestling, boxing, martial arts, hunting, and war?

So glad I don’t live in America. People in China have more freedom.

This whole thing is ridiculous. Rap music and violent movies do more to spur on curiosity in violence than video games, but like its media counterparts, video games also have warning labels and age restriction policies (which all came about because of a similar situation back in the day w/ Mortal Combat and the stupid parent group MADD). So tell me, who is at fault if these rules are broken now? The Parents! When in fact the blame can and should always be levied on the parents in the case of minors. Children must be educated about violence, like they are about sex and religion. If your not willing to spend the time, don’t do the crime (and that applies to procreation as well). We don’t need to waste tax-payers money to study video game violence, we just need to educate our kids. Also, mentally unstable people shouldn’t have babies! Everyone is focusing on the wrong topic, but not only that, they are tremendously blowing out of proportion.

Dear Law a$$,
Stop trying to tax things to make them less appealing to people. You already tax the shit out of gas, alcohol, and tobacco. Now games too? F U man….F U!
