In reply to the discussion: You will have to pry my Video Games out of my cold.. [View all]BarackTheVote

For those of you living under a rock for the last decade, video games have evolved into a full-fledged art-form, and they deserve the same respect and protection as any other art! The video game industry has a rating system and as far as I've seen, it's even more accurate than the MPAA ratings on movies. It's up to parents to keep their kids from inappropriately mature video games, or at least to put them in the correct context. But no government-imposed censorship should be tolerated in art!

Odd. I play shooter games, and yet I'm a hippie pacifist who can't stand actual guns.
