Parents Ask If Videogame Rating Bill Necessary?

Thanks to the Zanesville Times-Recorder for its article discussing why some parents are questioning recent moves to legislate on the availability of violent videogames to minors. John Sellars, a local Ohio parent, says of his children: "I watch what they play and I decide what they play. I don't think it should be up to the lawmakers to decide, it should be up to the parents." A local videogame store owner is also quoted as arguing: "The game manufacturers rate each game, like they do movies, and parents will tell their children 'No, that game's not for you'", in a relatively rare counterpoint to recent violent gaming-related legislation attempts.

[Anonymous Coward]

in evolution living things improve to survive

for example neanderthals coudint survie to because man came along and they were alot smarter, faster, and could hunt better
then neanderthals went extinct

but what can be better then humains now
how are humains going to evolve

the awnser lies right in front of you
machines
the next step of evolution is A.I
man will become extinct from what they created

machines are being upgrade every day to be better then what they were just like the evolution of living things

A.I will evolve becoming better and better machines will make better machines and those machines will make better machines

but i believe humains will destroy them
selves before they cant make the transition to machines

i cant explaine this to well in words but its so clear in my head

You should be modded down. You're arguing that legislation should be enacted to prevent children from buying video games and to strengthen this argument you're citing your belief that similar legislation exists for the movie industry to prevent children from seeing NC-17 movies. This is simply not the case and you should apologize to everyone who read your post. There is no legislation that says it is illegal to sell a ticket to a child for an NC-17 rated film.

Before you try to call out the 16 year olds, why don't you get some facts?
