Woah! i'm not sure which country you are living in but it sure isn't britian - the public transport in this country is a joke! i don't live in london but i have had the misfortune of going there many times - both using public transport and my own car - and while my car may take fractionally longer (due to traffic jams) i would use the car anyday. the trains are dirty, uncomfortable, crowded and always late not to mention very expensive
don't even get me started on the shit holes that pass as buses!
i have every right to drive a car - it is a perfectly valid form of transport - it gets me from a to b, its comfortable, reliable, there aren't any drunk morons talking way too loudly for the whole journey (well not in my car anyway) and it used to be reasonably cheap.
but labour has taxed the motorsit to death scince they got into power under the pretense of protecting the envrionment. it is an outrage. i wouldn't mind if ANY of that tax actually made public transport usable but it doesn't. they seem to tax and tax and tax and etc... but never do the trains get any better, never do the buses run on time, and the roads are probably the worst in the western world
pah! this is just another way for the govenment to get money out of us - it has nothing to do with the envrionment at all, as proved by the fact that despite the taxes the level of traffic on the roads has increased a lot scince labour got into power, taxes will not clean up the envrionment and neither will getting people to use public transport - cus buses and trains still (at some point) burn fossil fuels
I'm not sure if its a law or anything but over here in the UK we already have age ratings on games like movies etc. It doesn't really stop kids getting at the games, although I have seen a shop refuse to sell an '18' rated game to a young teenager, they just need to get their parents to buy the game for them.
Anyway i dont see why you would want kids being able to get hold of games like the upcomming solider of fourtune 2 (not that this law will stop them anyway), i mean you can blow peoples arms and legs off in that game. From the screen shots i've seen and the demo it looks pretty nasty. why does a 10 year old need to see that? Anyone who says it wont 'change' them in anyway is just being as niavie as the makers of this law. As someone once told me 'what goes in must come out' not to say i think games should be toned done or banned but you have to realise that it does affect people especially young people.
Heck this could mean even more violent games etc (as we've seen in the movies) as games makers can say 'its got an age stamp on it' etc
