FullMetal's point seems to be 'if they don't carry one form of media regulated by the government in this way (porn), then why wouldn't they keep every other form of media?' I could be wrong on that though, as that's just the way I interpreted it, or at least that's how I think of it. Sorry if I seem to be putting words in FullMetal's mouth.
No...that's exactly the point I was making. I never said anything about the games being porn. I said that the law would basically deem them just as bad as porn. And that's one of the arguments that keeps being brought up. The fact that we keep porn out of the hands of children and that we should do the same with violent video games.
