So we're illegals now.

Here's hoping none of you are from New York state.

It's now a felony in NY to sell a videogame console that lacks parental restrictions. There is no exception for classic consoles. What we're doing is illegal.

f*cking conservatives.

Seeing as how it was passed by senators in New York, there is only one person to blame:

Did you just call the legislature for NY Conservative?

Oh wait, can't be her:

Kitsu: you're confusing state and federal government.

offsidewing: yes I did. Democrat <> liberal.

Banning and restricting videogames (and music and movies and television, etc etc etc) seems like something a Democrat would do more than a Conservative.  I am independent and hate both the big parties, but this really seems "Lefty" to me.  Hilary has taken a public stance against violent videogames.

Last November, Clinton and Lieberman introduced the Family Entertainment Protection Act, a federal piece of legislation that restricts minors' access to violent games in much the same way as the overturned Michigan law, but would also require the Federal Trade Commission to conduct annual audits of the industry's ratings system.

Wow, you've got some strange stuff going on over there.

[offsidewing]

Now I'm really confused.

Why are liberals passing these laws any you're cursing small minded conservatives?

Conservatives over-turned these same laws in Illinios, Michigan, and the perceived uber-leftist land of California.

Rest assured, no matter which side of center you're blindly loyal too, liberals will fight to alter a person's civil liberites and conservatives will fight anything to do with change for better or worse.

My politics match my hockey prowess (and I've made a living being involved in both).  I'm a right wing skating on the left side.  If it's a close game, they always shift me to center.  I weep over the european style of the game and I'm frustrated over the stagnation of the North American version.  I hope the chinese don't get into hockey.

Another jackass law passed by a bunch of jackass politicians.  It will just end up wasting time in the overloaded court system just to get shot down anyway.  Best line in the article: "It was depressing to hear members of the Assembly note the constitutional problems with the bill and then state that they were voting for it".  Jackasses, I repeat, jackasses.

Here, Here!

There should be some legislature against crappy games!  You want to talk about atrocities against mankind?!?  We'll sit 'em down with Deep Blue, Virtual Hydlide, Bubsy, Night Trap, and ET.  That'll make them pass some non-crappy-game-anti-proliferation agreement.

Hey, Virtual Hydilde is actually cool in a twisted sort of way, and Bubsy has great music.

Hahaha, complete bullshit.  Both sides pander to the "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" crowd.

Also, as much as I hate that traitor to Illinois, she had nothing to do with this.

Ok, we'll swap Sword of Sodan for Virtual Hydlide.

So are people going to start selling violent games to kids in dark alleys now?
