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.

Killing jihadists in video games isn't as useful as killing them in real life!

The libertarian phiolosophy at all levels of government is simply not workable.

Government is simply a coalition of individuals, and if a majority of individuals can't get what they want out of government, they will replace it with a form that has more teeth and get what they want out of it.

This nonesense is exactly why I'm so vehemently opposed to Clinton taking office. With her in office, we can expect such nanny bull-**** to expand.

This is utter bullcrap. God damn I wish people would just take responsibility for themselves AND their kids.

Still, who knew that rolling up junk into a huge pile could be so much fun?

Unfortunantly it will have the same word with you over, and over, and over again.

Hi, how is it living the life of a fascist? Could you please tell me where in the constitution it gives Congress the right to legislate what americans do for entertainment purposes? Please give me an actual legit basis for which the government should be able to BAN video games?

Hey, lets ban all foods over a certain # of fat grams. That'll get health insurance prices down and make people healthier. Give everyone little toaster cars too, that will decrease the amount of oil we need and make the air better. We also need to regulate everyone to 5 room houses at most, anything more than that takes up too much space. Only one bathroom as well, extra bathrooms just uses up more water. Also, there are some books that give an opposing veiw on Islam, Capitalism, and Christianity...we need to ban them to save the children.

The fact you call yourself a conservative is laughable.
