ECA Organizing Gamer Rally for Free Speech at US Supreme Court

After a few years of lurking I finally HAD to register so I could comment.

This story is final proof that the yanks are the dumbest, most easily led, ingorant excuses for human beings on the face of the planet.

This issue has NOTHING WHAT SO EVER to do with freedom of speech... the issue is a matter of parental responsibility... NO ONE is saying that mature games WON'T get made.. what they ARE saying is that as games become more and more about sex and violence, that there should be CLEAR LINES between what is mature material and what isn't... the legislation is saying that if PARENTS WON'T MONITOR WHAT THEIR YOUNGER CHILDREN ARE BEING EXPOSED TO THEN SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT.... They are trying to introduce legislation that forces games retailers NOT to sell mature products to children not of an age to purchase then ESPECIALLY WHEN IT SAY SO ON THE BOX..... What is bad about that?

The fact of the matter is that those people screaming about it have NO CLUE WHATSOEVER what the actual legislation is REALLY about.. AND the rallys that are being organised, are being dome so by CORPORATE ENITIES who don't give a TOSS about about your rights, they just want to sell as much of their crap as they can and want no restrictions whatsoever on their ability to make money, regardless of whom it affects.

You know it's really funny... you Americans didn't give a toss about the REAL threat to your rights when your administation was riding roughshod all over your constitution as an exuse for an illegal war... but when it comes to games you get all outraged.

Your whole country is a joke.

This really isn't helping gamers as a whole.. Just making them look.. well... immature and the game industry WANTING to sell adult-content games to kids.

I'm all for free speech and everything, but how is this a violation of first amendment rights in the first place? It's not banning M-rated games or fining game companies who put adult content in their games, it's just not selling m-rated games to minors. Why can't the kid just have the parent or someone else buy it for them? It happens anyways and I don't see how this is a huge problem.

It's already been years passed since at least in Pennsylvania they do not sell m-rated games to kids and even read the ratings content to the adult or parent thats going to buy it. How will this be any different?

This is embarrassing

Please don't dress up. . .

Ug. Whatever. Don't sell M rated games to kids. Move on with your lives. Free speech my pasty white ass.

It's election time for certain political jobs in America, isn't it? Whenever some retreating party is getting ready to finally get the axe, be it liberal, conservative, or middle, the opposing party picks some easy issue like this. Same crap comes up in my country.
