For example of my argument Fathom, compare Mortal Kombat from our adolescence (

Growing up playing Mature games and rated R movies is never a good thing. I ended up having to be my own censor because my mom was at work, taking care of the family. I played Doom, but I refused to play Quake when I was young, purely because Quake was much more realistic (and scary at the time).
Comparing violence and sex in media from the early 90's to now is as ridiculous as the 80's to 90's. Case in point, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWa9kTeLAGU) and Splatterhouse 2 (

I actually had the misfortune of seeing a man murdered in the street at the age of 8 as well. Mature content needs to be for adults, not children.

Hope that makes sense to you guys, my english is kinda leaving me every now and then  |
I agree wholeheartedly. All I want to see is that children will not be able to get their hands on inappropriate content without consent from their parents.

Not that I'm aiming my vitriol at you, Ox. You seem to be a perceptive fellow. If you believe in such things, then I'm sorry. |
There is no issue of rights or free speech in the actual bill though. All it's trying to do is keep ultra-violent games from kids. They do the same thing with porn. Who's really opposed to that?
