All right a. I will keep it to myself. 18-29 year olds will be ticked off by the government for the game bill. Video games have been protected by the First Amendment because companies like Nintendo, Sega, Namco, Sony, Square, EA, Capcom, Konami, etc, etc... have rights too.
[QUOTE=Roperious][QUOTE=m0zart][QUOTE=IronKnux]If you don't like it, go to Canada. Besides, the Sega CD failed because it did nothing new except add grainy videos, scratchy digital sound and looong load times. Like the Saturn, it was hard to produce for, and hardly worth the effort.[/QUOTE]

Uhm... no... if we don't like it, we'll keep on complaining, and lobbying, and fighting, until the stupid laws passed around such subjects are repealed.

That's one of the privileges we have in this country.  If you don't like that... go to Canada.

Are you saying that Canadians participate in none of these things?[/QUOTE]
Pay more attention! I wasn't saying *anything* about Canadians or Canada. What I said is that if I don't like how things are, I don't *have* to move to Canada instead of complaining. Rather, I'll just complain, loudly, and hope it gets on every last nerve of the proponents of bad legislation.
The "if you don't like that... go to Canada" part was basically me throwing his words back at him.
[QUOTE=Roperious]Although I understand that you were throwing his words back at him, and you weren't directly taking a shot at Canada. I think it was in poor taste to use the phrase in the first place. [/QUOTE]
... which was the point of throwing it back in his face. Either you have liberals threatening to move to Canada if they don't get their way, or you have conservatives telling you to move to Canada if you don't like some level of authoritarianism on the home front. I'd much prefer the phrase(s) just go away, but that's not going to happen until its no longer viewed as clever, or as some kind of trump card on any argument.
I'm gonna talk about stuff that was controversial in games. Someone from last month said something about sex in the games. Now, I need an answer: Is it controversial or not? Sort of, because of the "Hot Coffee" mod. I mean, that mod caused GTA: SA to be re-rated. But do people hack in the game? Yes and no. It is pathetic to put sex in games. I mean, I would rather make love in real life than in a game. You need entertainment and developers think of sex sometimes. If you have kids, don't play those games.
October 07 is going to have GTA: IV coming out on Xbox 360 and PS3. That Jack Thompson guy is already trying to get the 360 version banned. He gave an email to Bill Gates about banning it and going to court if it was not settled. Thompson has gone on TV and try ranting on the other games from previous school shootings. Have you heard of the Salt Lake City Mall shooting that happend earlier this year? Thompson thought a teen played GTA and shot people in the mall. Because of trying to ban the Xbox 360 version, I have seen on Wikipedia, that he has received multiple death threats.
