Supreme Court to decide hte future of Video Games

[FullMetalX]

Sorry, but I don't buy any of that. First off, the whole "Interactive Medium" argument is weak. It's the same type of argument that was made with movies, being that they were visual rather than just text in a book.

Also, what's wrong with a parent not letting their kid be friends with someone. I've had situations where my parents thought certain kids were bad influences and didn't let me hang out with them. Yeah, I didn't like it, but it totally within a parent's authority to do that. Also, what's wrong with a parent talking to the parent of their child's friends and asking that they not allow their kid to play or watch certain things? And lastly, if a child gets a friend's parents to help him/her buy an M-Rated game, guess what? That type of thing is not covered by the new law. If an adult buys it, the law can't do anything, so that point is moot. Also, at some point, that kid is gonna bring the game home and is gonna get caught.

Parents have the power to do things about what their child watches or plays and doesn't have to force their kids to live a sheltered life. You know, they can actually talk to their kids about the violence they see on TV or in games if they know their kids will just play these games somewhere else. The law doesn't have to get involved. It shouldn't get involved.
