Retailers react violently to violent game laws

"Frivolous and irresponsible." Think this is being used to describe video game retailers who sell violent games to minors? Nope. It's being used to describe the proposed legislation to prevent just that. An interesting choice of words to say the least. Now, before I continue, don't get me wrong, I am all for keeping violent games out of kids' hands. Just like I wouldn't let a ten year old watch Evil Dead,
I wouldn't want them playing Grand Theft Auto, either. However, I don't believe a law putting the onus entirely on retailers is the answer.

This story reads like a doctrine of madness. What kind of crazy planet is this when the passing of a law can be approved by the Parent-Teachers and Girl Scouts associations?! I only wish I was making that up.

HEY! Girl scouts! Go back to selling cookies and keep your damn nose out of the video game business! And parents? How about you get off your butts and do your job for a change instead of expecting the government to do it for you. You chose to be a parent. Start acting like one.
