Prominate people that think games should be regulated include Rick Santorum, Hillary Clinton, Joe Liberman, Jack Thompson, James Dobson, and various Parental Groups.

Majority of Americans Want Gov. Regulation news from 1UP.com

Congressmen call for ESRB transparency - News at GameSpot

so government can regulate the size of signs allowed for a business marque, but this must be free of government interference?

No I think thats a stupid rule to. Business should be allowed to do what the hell they want as long as its legal and doesnt violate anyone else's personal rights. It boils down to right and left wing parents bitching and moaning on who to blame for their kids screw ups.

Ban ALL video games for 5 years so we can see the difference in HS test scores, graduation rates, SAT scores and other scientifically chosen standards of behavior and performance.

THEN decide what should be done.

I bet that the video game generation would improve in ALL areas and the High School kids shooting up schools and shopping malls would decrease.

Actually we need kids to play video games so they can grow up and run tanks and fly planes and boats and such. They use the same control system in many cases.

Its better to have a multimillion dollar jet pilot with 15+ years of control experience as opposed to 5 or so.

Joint Task Force is pretty good if you like C&C type games.
I am looking forward to COD4 this christmas.
Americas Army is pretty cool and its a free download.

As far as government control goes. Its an easy way out for irresponsible parents. If the parents are not actively knowing what their kids are up to then they need their own asses kicked.

Do your parents know what you are doing right now?

It's young people who are the first to rag on parents about being too restrictive and then they are the first to criticize them for not being MORE restrictive.

Fine.

I say lock up all you sunsabeotches. THEN you'll have something to whine about.

And if you are older than 18 then I'm not talking to you.

In the meantime, here's a little 'game' fer ya.

Pick The Response You Like Best

They'll figure it out without the practice.

There are millions who have 10+ years of videogame experience but we don't see them busting down the recruiters doors.

We won WWII without video gamers, I think we can get by somehow.
