Michigan Violent Games Law Thrown Out |
Listed in: News Tags:
Ó
The
Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has gained another victory in
Michigan against a permanent injunction against the state's violent
video games law. The main argument for the prosecutors were that the
violent games are interactive so kids get to participate in the
violence instead of just watching it as they would on TV or a movie.The defense used the argument that "it could be just as easily be said that the interactive element in video games acts as an outlet for minors to vent their violent or aggressive behavior, thereby diminishing the chance they would actually perform such acts in reality." The ESA is also seeking out reimbursement of it's legal fees as it did in Illinois.

if they ban video games then they should ban books, internet, tv, cinema, all sporting events, gambleing etc.....
lets see how long it would take for people to start killing each other.
p.s. if games made people violent then there would be no one left alive within a 100 miles of my house

When downloads are mainstream, what are they going to do then? Try and ban video games all together? LmaO.
Honestly, they need to quit because what they are doing is robbing the voice of the parents, who are responsible for their kids and what they view. And if your a parent who cares about their kids, you'll know what they can and cant view.
All kids are different and have specific tollerences - parents are capable of knowing this. Not some joe-shmoe I never even heard of before - let alone them knowing my kids enough.

The study should be on how people get violent when they lose their jobs. Then they need GTA to vent their frustrations.

my motto BAN THE BOOMBOX NOT THE XBOX.
Its them chav kids with the load music and love for guns brought on by 50 cent that kill people. Not fans of violence and gore.
