    Lightbulb All up in arms over a rumor?

    Things like this anger me. Not the fact that supposably they want to put a tax on video games, the fact that people get all up in arms ABOUT AN UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOR!. There is no ACTUAL PROOF of this being even the slightest bit true, yet everyone is jumping to arms over it.

    The last time I checked, not everything posted on a blog is true. Heck, I could start my own blog and start claiming that Sega's gonna resume hardware production of the Genesis, SegaCD, and 32x. I'm sure someone would believe me, especially if I wrote it in a blog.

    While it is rediculous to think that everything you read online is false, its also rediculous to believe that everything you read online is true.

    My opinion on the subject at hand is, if Hillary wants a tax on video games, let the Congress debate it. My opinion is that I don't see something like that going through Congress. I may be wrong, but then again I may be right. Most likely this whole blog entry is just a misinterpreted quote, or a flat-out lie.

    DIEx3 that is actually a really good article on this problem. Stupid government is being way too harsh and acting like games are making people killers. I dont want my games taxed because they want more money. There is no proof at all that games make people violent and they keep blaming them over and over. And if they try banning violent video games they might actually make me violent!

    Hillary Clinton is a traitor. She stands against the principles upon which this country was founded. The rights of free expression guaranteed by the Constitution are far more important than the selfish advancement of her own flagging political career.

    Are today's video games in poor taste? Hell yes. Should developers like Rockstar show more restraint when designing them? Hell yes. Should they be forced or otherwise compelled to censor themselves by a government which hypocritically claims to support free expression? Hell no.

    Should a traitor like Hillary Clinton be re-elected? Hell no. We've had one Clinton in office too many as it is.

    Hillary Clinton needs to go die in a fire, and yes I do mean that.

    1.)The sex thing in Gta was taken much too seriously, its a crappy minigame that takes a hacker made patch to even see. The company didn't remove it from the game files but they did lock it away in the code so it WOULDN'T be seen.

    2.) Violence in videogames making people violent? Yeah if your playing God of War while imprisoned in a mental institution. Normal people arn't going to become violent just because they just blew some $#@!s head off in Gta, if anything it should take some of their anger towards real people out in the game.

    3.) Game tax? Yeah you morons in D.c need more money to waist on things of no signifigance to the advance of the US. (See: Iraq)

    Basicly, if they ban violent games, implement game taxes, and make all games little kid friendly crap, my happy ass is moving to Canada. XD

    Just because someone SAYS they have a source, doesn't mean they do. Once again, don't believe everything you read on the internet. The fact that he doesn't want to give away his source kinda points to it being false.

    Also, the Rocky Mountain News? Last time I checked, New York and DC are quite far away from the Rocky Mountains....

    BlueCrab she is known for her anti-violent games stance though. It's very reasonable that it's true. You act like its too farfetched to believe. Let everyone rant about it, it wont hurt anyone.
