Halo 3 Leads Kid to Killing Parents

[warpus]

Hillary was wrong. Maybe down there in filter-the-internet-land y'all can ban stuff you don't like, but this is America and we're blessedly free to depict whatever twisted violence and perversion suits our fancy. Yeah, it's pretty messed up that people watch shows like CSI:SVU, it says something terrible about the state of our society, but if that's what the people want, they can have it, goddammit. Ain't the gubmint's business to tell us which expression is acceptable. If we want to be sick freaks, we're going to be sick freaks, thank you very much.

USA #1

I don't think I've ever written "USA #1" before. I'm not sure what's happening to me.

What's troubling though, is that Americans want both violence and sex in their entertainment. (This in itself is not the troubling part)

They are being denied the sex, but are spoonfed the violence, for some reason. Wouldn't it be much healthier if that was the other way around?

I suppose I could say the same thing about Canada.

Damn straight. And don't curse on the radio or you are seriously . .. .. .. .ed.

"Mark Petric said he expected a pleasant surprise. The next thing he knew, his head went numb. He had been shot in the head."

I'm embarrassed to be aware of this quote, but...

Hey, don't nblame us, just because a vocal, moronic minority - I think you've already seen what they're like in this very thread - wants to ban everything they don't like, and unfortunately the government listens to the vocal morons, not the average person on the street, who, in this country, wants all the porn and violence he can get, just like in the States.

It's grossly illegal for the government in this country to censor the internet, just as it would be in yours. But neither of our governments have been doing too well on the "obeying the constitution" level lately, much to our detriment.

Gah.. it wasn't even a good game at all.

 

[Dumanios]

[mangxema]

Killing over Halo is terribly ironic.

Wasn't blaming you. Just saying that Australian domestic policy isn't really much my concern, at least not lined up against American domestic policy. Just like American domestic policy isn't really much Bast's concern against Australian domestic policy.

Let's unite in being pissed off at our governments.
