"Games are neither art nor media." - Censorship push

Jesus is Da Man!

He's a pederast, too.

He's a pederast, too.

I don't think so!

I used to manage a video store which rented videogames along with movies. Because the chain had no age guidelines for renting movies to kids, children as young as 8 would rent "M" rated games. The parents had to sign for the rentals if the child was a minor (that went for movies and games of any rating), but it was obvious they NEVER paid attention to the game content or genre. A woman once stormed into my store, actually screaming and cursing me for renting a game to her son which she found "deplorable and evil". As calmly as I could, I looked her in the eye and said, "Ma'am, if you'll just look here, you signed the rental agreement form, which means you were present when you son chose this game. It's not my job to raise your child. It's yours." On top of it, she owed a late fee. BURN!

Damn straight. It's the parents' job to make sure their kids don't see inappropriate material. Bills like this are simply ludicrus, and 'stepping stones' towards more extreme measures..

"I'm going to vote for this bill, but I'm voting for it for one reason — because this is a political bill," said Sen. Mike Jacobs. "If I vote against it, it will show up in a campaign mail piece."

This man needs to be removed from office NOW! He's blatantly stating that his votes are based on protecting his own political career, which IMO should be punishable by a public flaying with dull butter knives.

Ah, but you forget; he is an Illinois politician. Our last governor is under indictment, our current governor is headed there, the mayor of Chicago is on shaky ground himself. It's a pretty sad situation.

Don't worry about this too much, though. They've tried to pass legislation pretty much exactly like this before, and been ruled unconstitutional each time. There's pretty much no chance this law ever goes into effect, much less ever gets enforced.

I don't think so!

Yes, he is. That is the nature of the Jesus.

"What's a pederast, Walter?"

"Shut the ---- up, Donny."

Thank you. Did you notice the bulge in his pants in the flashback part of the scene? Bag of Birdseed.

 

[Darth K'Trava]

Yes, he is. That is the nature of the Jesus.

Must be your version, 'cause it sure ain't my version!

I don't think you understand who the Jesus is. That creep can roll, man.

This thread has religion AND politics!! Wow!

Just don't let this thread get too political or it's bye-bye thread.

I've seen threads closed for a lot less than this.

THE Jesus I know is the REAL DEAL. Not whatever imitation that you are thinking of.
