alarikf I think the law about child molestation would apply to your example. So long as it is not illegal, I can see no reason for "banning" a game that you are free to choose not to buy.
Now if it was being force fed to me like spam email or pop up adds, then yes, I would be for passing laws to prevent it.
I agree with the rating system for games.
Its a very useful tool for parents. And I agree that any parent that would buy such a poorly tasteful game should be beaten if they bought it for their kids to play.
I agree that some things are harmful to society as a whole, but when ever we as individuals have the ability to decide for ourselves, government should not step in. Like I said, if this crap was being forced upon me, via tv, radio, bill boards, phone calls, or emails, then yes, I say put a stop to it. There are some lines that should not be crossed.
But when we start passing laws that do away with our freedom of choice, we give up that which makes us free. I would never buy a game like this, but my neighbor might. I would never presume to tell him that he is wrong for buying it, because it is his right to choose what he buys. I would choose not to associate with a sick SOB like him in that situation, but I would never support a law that limits his freedom to buy such trash.
I guess living in America, and not under an imperial state, has somewhat spoiled me. I do apologize if my desire to keep my right to choose offends any one who feels that I as an adult should not have such rights.
And personally, I would have thrown the book at Janet Jackson for what she did. A ward drobe accident my arse.
