Hillary, GTA, and High School Football

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the worth-your-time dept.

The LA Times is running a really worthwhile story discussing the recent attack on video games in congress. It talks about GTA, the decline in youth violence, and mentions that football actually encourages real aggression, causes real injuries, and is treated totally differently. It's worth a read. Unfortunately I'm fairly certain that very few U.S. Senators are listening over the sound of hype.

    Hillary is finally standing for something? Has hell frozen over?

    Seriously, when politicians get involved, be afraid. The issues will become more clouded. I believe Hillary is just using this to make her seem more mainstream.

    This is the consistent message from the Dems today. They know better. Let them handle it. Stop thinking. Stop parenting. Let the maternal federal government take care of everything.

    Yes. Thank God for the Republicans. At least they are around to keep the government out of our personal lives!
