I was reading around, and I stumbled on articles about New York passing a bill making it a Felony to sell unsuitable violence to a -17 year old kid. The bill was issued by a Democrat and passed by the New York assembly causing it to be a WTF in my book. Seriously, has Americans gotten so untouched with reality that were finding store clerks to blame? How about blaming the F***ing parents for their idiocy in BAD parenting. I say give the felony charge to parents that don’t watch their children’s activities. I’m so pissed that democrats believe it’s reprehensible to a FELONY. GOOD JOB democrats now if you could only learn how to run a economy!

i don't see why you feel the need to stress that its a DEMOCRAT given that the republicans are even more gung ho anti-video game violence and such

and i dont understand your last statement, because the current economic status isn't because of the democrats

I think it's a good law. Violence sucks. 17 years old might be a little too high, but there has to be some mechanism that will stop a 5 year old from buying GTA in a store.

As was pointed out, most of the time it's the parents actually doing the buying ._.

1.) i beg to differ, they're both equally bad

2.) In general terms they blow in economics like , unions, entitlements, general spending...

Yes, i agree it's a good idea, but i don't agree in giving clerks a felony charge.

honestly, if you're criticizing the democrats for being so prudish, you've got it all reversed. hillary clinton and joe lieberman are pretty bad, but absolutely nothing compared to the descendants of the moral majority.

moreover, if it's equally bad, then it's nothing to do with the democrats. it's just old people out of touch.

also, saying stuff like "they blow in economics like , unions, entitlements, general spending..." makes you seem like a 8yearold. if you think the economy has gone to shit, blame it on the party that was in power for the last 6 years, not the one that just came in 4 months ago

also, i'm fucking sick and tired of the "blame the parents for everything"

(i'm assuming you're a kid here since you sound and act like one) do your parents know you browse and read TL? are they supposed to? would you really be in favor of parents like that, or are you just spouting bullshit again?

store clerks should take the brunt of the reponsibility. if i sell drugs or a gun to an 8 year old, the felony should be against me first and foremost. it is my responsibility as an enabler.

not that i disagree that video game violence is a different matter. i don't agree with the bill and think it's stupid. but honestly, oppose it on its grounds, not just another tired cliche "blame the parents" schtick

I’m going to assume you’re an ignorant, pompous, dork because you sound like one. Great job with your personal attack.

GET it straight, never said the store clerk owner should be exempted from all responsibility. Charging a clerk with a felony is excessive. Also calling it a cliche opposition is stupider than your personal attack against me.

I always giggle when I get carded for M rated games at Best Buy. Really, not a big deal though. I think there are quite bigger world issues to worry about.

I'm sorry but both major parties are pretty poor spenders - Its just a matter of where the money is going.

yea, 99% of the budget is fixed anyway. It is that 1% that you see the parties argue over all the time;p
