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."
"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."

WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!!!!!
Now that that is out of the way, these people need to be removed. We have FAR bigger fish to fry, and the fact that this has even come up, proves that these people are not doing the job we sent them to do. All this is, is a way for these idiots do get their names in the news. Seemingly doing something, while really doing nothing, all on our dime.

If there is a bill about labeling, it needs to be about fixing the ESRB labeling in the first place. Lawmakers get all pissy about gore and violence (which you can have a good bit of and still get a T rating), but if you have a few naughty words said in the game or a couple references to sexual partners, that is an instant M.
It doesn't matter if the game is "Lets walk through a field of flowers!" but if it's "Lets murder your family and piss on their grave," but has no naughty words or sex, that is perfectly A-OK!

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.

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.

Comments below rated M. Idk even know where to begin. What a fucked up country. We have the govt worrying.about raising our kids instead of all the other important shit. Parents need to be parents the federal govt needs to be the federal govt. Let's put our big girl panties on and get real shit done.
