Australian R18 Games Rating Gets Gov't Support

dotarray writes "Even with the news last week that an Australian Government study found no conclusive link between video games and violence, it's still a little surprising that the federal Labor government has announced today that they support the move for an adult R18+ rating for video games in that country."

Flaws of democracy

And this, is why democracy isn't the 'end all' solution the West seems to think it is. If governments realized that in most to all cases legalizing things would have little benefit except supporting the people who want it legalized.

Give me one good reason on why R-18 games should be banned. There isn't any, you might personally disagree with them, but here is the thing, you don't have to buy them. No one is making you sit down in front of a 360 and shoot zombie after zombie. On the other hand, banning them is effectively forcing people not to even if they want to do so.
