DC Could Ban 'Mature' Video Game Sales to Minors

DeathPooky writes "As a part of an effort to continue a reduction in crime in the nation's former murder capital, DC leaders are trying to pass a law banning the sale of mature video games to minors - along with harsh penalties to enforce the law. According to the article, 'A store that violates the law could lose its business license and face a fine of as much as $10,000.' This law mimics other such bans proposed in Virginia and Maryland. I can already feel the chilling effects from here."

    I'm not going to respond to most of this flamebait. However...

    America is the world's only super-power? Really? Have you checked?

    Yup. I checked. America is the only remaining super-power.

    I seem to recall this super-power is being given the run-around by a load of Iraqi insurgents.

    Being given the run-around? Listen, I'm sorry that those on the left in America and all of Europe are too cowardly to deal with war anymore, but less than 1500 casualties in the amount of time we've been there is hardly "being given the run-around." It's overwhelming success. There were more than that lost on each side many single days in World War II. What's going on in Iraq is barely a war. It's an American smackdown. Shock and awe.

    If you do a lot of extrapolation...

    You are clearly good at that. It takes a lot of extrapolation, or oversimplification to the point of distortion, to make the claim that the morals of the Bible "come from the middle east."

    going to change the murder rate among D.C. nigger drug dealers?

    Which is where ninety percent of the murder rate in D.C. comes from...

    Oh, it doesn't? Then how come when word went around Leavenworth that a bunch of D.C. niggers were being transferred there that the Leavenworth inmates (the white ones, anyway) were pissed off because D.C. niggers had a rep for being disruptive overly violent assholes - even in comparison to Leavenworth niggers?

    That's right - I used the "N" word - just like every black prison inmate does 24/7...and just like I use the word "redneck" to refer to rural white assholes or "punk" to refer to urban white assholes...

    And I don't give a rat's ass if anyone doesn't like it...

    If a black doesn't act like a nigger, I'll stop calling him one...
