Common Sense Beats Out MN Games Law

superdan2k writes "A federal court judge dropped the bomb on Minnesota's pending gaming law that would have fined minors for purchasing games with the mature or adults-only ratings. The lawsuit against the legislation was brought by video game manufacturers who claimed that it infringed on free speech. The judge agreed, and the ruling said that the state had failed to prove that graphic video games were harmful to children."

    I believe you have that wrong my friend. America seems to be apopulated by a alrge number of well meaning, Chrtistian type people who are ignorant on some of the darker truths of their country and life in general. Politicians, to their own disgust I bet, need votes, a majority of votes no less. So they structure all that they can to gain said voters favor. These voters, being the way they are, do not see through these guise.

    Personally, I personally opose gay marriage, for example. Wether it should be legislated for/agsist is another matter.
