Thread: Why the Hell does Congress continue to waste time on this - Video Game Lableling

US politicians want cigarette-style warning stickers on games • News • Eurogamer.net

As reported by The Hill, a bill titled Violence in Video Games Labeling Act H.R. 4204 was submitted on Monday by Democrat congressman Joe Baca and Republican Frank Wolf. If it becomes law, almost all games would be required to sport a sticker stating: "WARNING: Exposure to violent video games has been linked to aggressive behavior."

Part of the ESA's response

"Numerous medical experts, research authorities, and courts across the country, including the United States Supreme Court, exhaustively reviewed the research Representative Baca uses to base his bill and found it lacking and unpersuasive. Independent scientific researchers found no causal connection between video games and real life violence.
"We would commend Representatives Baca and Wolf to the reams of bourgeoning academic research demonstrating that video games can be innovative learning and assessment tools in engaging and educating America's youth, especially in core subjects such as science, technology, engineering and math."

Ah Washington, where stupidity begets evermore stupidity.

You know this shit cracks me up every time. They all grew up watching the 3 stooges and bugs bunny. For the life of me i cant remember 1 single piano being dropped on another kids head, or an anvil, or a kid plugging the barrel of a shot gun with his finger. Sure a few noses got pulled and some eyes got poked but im fairly certain there wasnt much permanent damage.

They are more then happy to not pay government employees while their fucking around. Put a hold on their check and i bet we get a budget.

Why does republicans budget cut a few million instead of the $600 increase in spending they want for military? Both groups need to fuckign suck it up and agree instead of no one backing down and nothing getting done.
