Re: Factual question

In Response To: Factual question (SPARTAN-01110101)

: " Different mediums, as they've come along, have had their share of
: controversy. From pulp horror, graphic novels, to movies, music and
: television; is this part of a cycle?

: "They [ Conservative groups, watchdog groups] are just going through
: the motions. They’ve never played, read, or watched these things but
: they’ll be the first to condemn it."

: (Bolding in original document, italics not.)

: I've never heard of any conservative groups condemning and trying to ban or
: restrict the sales of video games. In fact, of the news that I could
: check, the only attempts to ban or restrict the sales of video games
: through any methods other than parental involvement were the proposed
: pieces of legislation in the states of California and Illinois, neither of
: which are states known for conservatism. Certain nations (notably
: Australia and some European nations) have banned or restricted the sale of
: “violent” games, but by and large these are not conservative nations.

: There were, of course, other news stories about groups condemning Halo
: without taking action to restrict sales, but by far the vast majority of
: even these groups neither claim nor express conservatism; many of them are
: in fact liberal organizations. Of the US politicians referenced in
: articles about violent games, all are democrats, belonging to a party not
: known for being conservative.

: Am I missing a whole lot of news here, or is this insertion by the editor
: rather off the wall?

My thoughts exactly! It's a huge contradiction of agenda to worship the second amendment AND speak out against violent video games.

More and more people should read your post. I remember watching X-Play and they had a small discussion in which they also implicated conservative politicians as the "culprits" behind the movements against violent video games. Afterall, can you see Arnold or W trying to ban a video game?
