ABA Journal Highlights Upcoming SCOTUS Fight

Postal 2...

Yeah, because it´s the most popular game today and all the cool kids play it.

California declares that “violent video games, like sexual images, can be harmful to minors and have little or no redeeming social value for them.”

There are cartoons on TV that actually don´t have social values on them, but they still on air and no one is complaining. Anyways, enterteinment doesn´t always have the need of having social message or morality attached to them.

if the game appeals to “a deviant or morbid interest of minors,” is “patently offensive to prevailing standards in the community as to what is suitable for minors,” and, taken as a whole, lacks “serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors.”

This parts from the "fact" that all violent games are aimed toward children, which is not true. And the part of lacks “serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors", that could mean anything they don´t like.

“Under strict scrutiny, the state has not produced substantial evidence that supports the legislature’s conclusion that violent video games cause psychological or neurological harm to minors,”

Thank you.

“We see someone’s head cut off [in a video game], there’s a repulsion we feel,” says California state Sen. Leland Y. Yee, a Democrat from San Francisco who sponsored the state law. “When you see that hundreds of thousands of times, you become desensitized.”

That´s because we aren´t hyper-sensitive crybabies like you.

Morazzini says, “The legislature used these studies for what they are. They show a correlation [between violent media and aggression], not causation.”

Thank you, again.

“Violence does have its place—look at Grimm’s Fairy Tales, The Iliad,” he says. “But why should offensive violence be treated any differently than offensive sex?”

Too bad that many fairy tales were alterated by Disney since many years ago. There is many people who doesn´t know other version of those stories rather than the Disney´s version.

“The fact is the self-regulatory system is working.”

As always, politicians are inmmune to logic and facts.
