Schwarzenegger signs game-restriction bill

Thank you Arnold!!! You are amazing!!!

What a waste. It will never survive for too long.

Hell with it, I'm going to let my dad buy games for me.

once again the law tries to replace the role of parents m e t a l l i c a i s c o o l

WTF!?!?! What about terminator!!! Why doesnt he ban his own movies!!!??

Note to Computethiz: Guns don't make people violent either. After all, police carry guns all the time, yet manage not to shoot passersby, and I have never heard of someone shooting a competitor in Biathlon, despite the presence of both rifles and extreme competition. The only things that can "make" people violent are hormones (ex. testosterone). Unfortunately, people come with their own supply. Accusing the inanimate block of polymer and steel of inciting violence is no different from the very thing we are objecting to in this forum.

Here's a question: Since the law targets any game where the mere option of violence exists, not only where such violence is required does this imply that having the ability to commit a crime is a crime in itself? Or that we should teach children that violence simply doesn't exist? There are always going to be games aimed at children, and games aimed at adults; the same is true of books and movies, yet books have no rating system whatsoever, and r-rated movies bear no "mark of shame" on their covers. Why are video games different? Visual art has no categorization at all, yet frequently features nudity, graphic (obviously) violence, and generally disturbing material. Oh, horror of horror, let's close the Louvre. In any case, this is simply another instance of using game creators as scapegoats for poor parenting. If your kid reads "The Silence of the Lambs" and decides to eat your neighbor, its not Thomas Harris' fault, its yours for failing to mention that cannibalism is somewhat frowned upon. If your kid plays "Grand Theft Auto" or "Hitman" and develops unusual career plans, your child's victims shouldn't sue Rockstar or Eidos: They should sue you with wanton criminal negligence. If you can't take responsibility for raising your kids, put them up for adoption and get neutered.

ARNOLD YOU KNOW NOTHING OF VIDEO GAMES! WHAT!?!? YOU THINK PACMAN WILL TURN US INTO GHOST EATERS OR CANNIBALS!??!?!?

Now this is a kind of stupid law. I think that parents should teach there children beter about violent stuff. Violence in video games can actualy be a good thing. It releaves stress. Atleast for me and I have have no thought of going out and killing enyone accept terorists. Come on Arnold think of beter ways to do this.

You know, its ironic that so many of these people who say, "video games make people kill other people" are probably being put on people's hit list :P anyway, this is so retarted, and it wont change anything. Parents who feel that some games are bad for their kids wouldn't let them buy it before, and they wont now. But parents who dont care what their kid plays, wont care now either, and will just go buy it for them.

This is nothing but a desperate try to blame the increase of violence in america on videogames. Long ago, the church tried to ban BOOKS of basicly the same reasons. Then it was music, and movies. And finaly the turn comes to games. Wake up america, games dont make kids shoot other kids, guns do!!! this is just to stupid!! &/

Terminator got served by Constitution ;)))

Him and his Violent movies and he is trying to stop video games???
