Just because you can bypass a law doesn't mean we should accept shitty laws.

There are a handful of games with real value, but honestly most games are stupid shit. If they enact this law it might prod the game industry to get its act together. So while in theory I am against legislation based on hating videogames, in this case I kinda see this law as a good thing actually.

Why? The law isn't banning all videogames, just the sale of certain games to minors.
--- Quote from: Scandanavian War Machine on 12 Aug 2010, 16:47 ---Not only that, it's absurdly hypocritical because no other...anything (media stuff like books, movies etc.)...is subject to such a pathetically draconian excuse for a law.
--- End quote ---
What are you talking about? All kinds of books, movies, and music are off limits to minors. The laws just don't crack down as hard because, like, movies aren't 50% porn.
Ozymandias:
Why do I have to keep underscoring that there is no law banning the sale of (non-pornographic) movies, books, or music to minors in America.
