Video Games and Politics

[zachiscool1]

well Hiliary is running for president =[ and you guys know what that means,
she is gonna screw gaming beyond belief, and there have been two diffrent incidents lately that are gonna help her, one two teens killed thier sister after playing MK and some kid claims that WoW made him light someone on fire.


what are your guys's opinions on games and how far the government should go to censor them?

 

[Timewarp]

I'm sure now that a good majority of gamers are old enough to vote, i have no qualms that Hillary....heaven forbid becomes president...will be stopped at every turn.

There will always be someone wanting to censor something. Its the way of the world. It usually just makes things worse like during prohibition.

If you are old enough to vote, you could be allowed full contents.
If you are not, you should be stay locked at house until you are 18.

Minors should not be heard, seen or imagined.

...

At any rate, I sincerely hope adults will stop wasting time with videogames.
They are seriously messing with our sanity.
I mean, I actually care if my ranger's mithril chain and elven cloak colour-clash...

...

If you are old enough to vote, maybe you are too old to play games...

i swore to myself, never again a clinton in office, and if that means i gotta vote republican, then so be it.

or i shouldn't vote, probably won't. i hate both sides, why vote for lesser of 2 evils when you just don't vote, and vote for no evil.

If you don't vote, then evil has already won.

I believe it was Dietrich Bonhoeffer who originally said "The only way for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing..."

Great reference.

-Sigh- You gamers. >.> Only look at the bad things. Hilary will be supporting universal or something or another health care, and make some other changes for the good. Well...regardless of who wins the next election...I kind of fear for the whole issue in Iraq. This may seem a bit off the actual topic, but if it was possible, I'd want to keep Bush in office until the conflict is over. I mean, this whole "support the troops" and "bring them home" stuff is all meant well..but I think it is placed incorrectly. If there happens to be a full scale withdrawal, Taliban will just come back after we have gone, make it be as it was before..then what will this whole six or so years of fighting have been for? The current president hopefully has a plan (which hopefully doesn't include invading Iran...or I fear the world will actually end in 2013 via massive nuking), and then kick him out and stuff. I think worldwide affairs should be dealt with before national. That's just me of course.

Naught, some might say.

Yeah her health care is the same thing we had here called tenncare. It alone almost bankrupt our state so no its not a good idea, at all.

the only way are really going to win this war is if we stick our flag in the middle of the country, and say to everyone "you have 2 days to get out we are nuking this enitre coutnry" 🙄

Fascinating notion.

One might argue that other countries have nukes too, and they would likely retaliate.
The first one would be the last one, and then - in keeping with the thread's theme - game over man.
The only winners would be the cockroaches.

I think we have too much censorship already, so I would not support any additional restrictions on video games.

I don't like Hillary's health-care proposal at all. I think that a modest expansion of Medicaid would be a more efficient and less intrusive way to assist lower-income persons.
