Rumor: Kerry & Edwards Want to Ban SEIV

[Atrocities]

Before you freak out, know that it will be a cold dark day in hell before I will ever give up my games. They can pry my Space Empires IV disk out of my cold dead hands.

Ok here it is:

I was watching the news tonight and they mentioned that Kerry and Edwards are in favor of banning or limiting the production and or sale of violent video games.

What are violent video games you ask, well according to the news, violent video games are games that promote or have violence as in death, destruction, battle, war, domination, etc. These types of video games would be under the Kerry Edwards administration be targeted for censorship and or Banned entirely.

I am afraid that games like Space Empires would be included in this ultra liberal banning and so would most of the games we currently enjoy because they depict violence and war. Now I know this is a broad spectrum of games, but keep in mind these people don't care. They use lables to sell their way of thinking, and unfortunetly as much as we ALL know that Space Empires is NOT a violent game, they do because of their liberal labeling system.

Now I have searched Google, yahoo, and many others trying to find sources that would cooberate the news channels statement and I have found NONE.

So at this point I am willing to chalk this up to email rumors and the crappy channel 12 news eagerness to stir up controversy.

If this rumor is true, and any one can post a link to anything relating to it, please do so.

Sounds pretty false but if it does happen do not worry.

I'm sure the English and European Space Empires Fans will be willing to smuggle Aaron Hall (and any other Americans) to Europe and allow him to Publish and release SEV here. I will be more than prepared to set up a Space Empires Black market and make sure you Americans get your fix of War, Violence and Dominion

Will they want to ban nasty brutal sports like american football with all that violent running into and knocking over each other, battling to win and dominating the other team?. Unlikely as they would lose their precious votes from sportsloving americans.

edit: anyway they probably have in mind that the only people who play the games they oppose are teenagers who can't vote.

Sometimes i am incredibly thankful about living in england, although even our government is taking things a bit far in some measures it's now taking. The whole debate on a Ban on Smacking children and numerous other issues is getting quite worrying...
