Chinese Govt Limits Kids to 3hrs of Online Gaming
1MC writes "The Chinese govt is requiring game houses to modify MMOG's to restrict under 18 users to 3 hours "productive" gameplay per day. This "anti-addiction" software must be in place within 4 months, with games not compliant by July 15 liable to be shut down in China. Net9, Shanda and NetEase will be moving to comply with the government regulations. Users will have to register with their real names and Chinese identity card numbers to be allowed access to the games."
When can we get that here?
How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
Maybe the kids can get off lightly if they report the parents themselves. I've heard this worked well in the past.

Or Utah.

Sadly I don't have mod points for you, but I agree 100%
I have notice a clear striation in class where a certain style of music (gansta rap) becomes the norm. It's kind of interesting to me that in this "lower class" the rap music dominates, while in even mid-level classes there is an much wider breadth of music.

I do have black friends, and even a black girlfriend, which is why I said that I am not racist. Notice how I did not specifically say anything about gangsta rap being specifically black culture? I see just as many low class (grew up among them, actually) white kids getting into it.
