No really. I mean it. Dose this guy have some sort of learning disability? Is he communist? Or maybe he's just one of many others that like to point fingers and jump at something that is a popular scapegoat instead of hitting the real issues.
In response to the article by Kevin McCollough about a video game titled "Mass Effect" (
found here), I have this to say.
The game is rated mature for a reason. You can't blame the industry for creating a game for adults when ignorant parents purchase it for their children. Thats the same sense as buying a 15 year old pornography. The only difference is that not all mature games have "sex scenes" or nude pictures. I have actually played the game, Mass Effect, to completion and the so called "sodomy" included is nothing worse than what can be seen on the average TV show on the average network. It is actually not as bad.
How can you call Ron Paul out for clearly following the intent of the constitution?
"
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Did you contradict that? That
First Amendment to the constitution? This document is all that separates us from being controlled by the government. I don't like what some people say, but I will fight ignorant people like you from taking those rights away from us.
Lets say for a moment we do allow the government to step in. We ban sexual content in video games, books, tv, and other forms of media under the pretext of saving America. Then lets say that didn't work exactly, so we allow the government to censor a little bit of a controversial article because that WILL help America, but it doesn't and they keep going and going and going... Where does it stop?
I'm 23, and I don't like all the smut that is prevalent in America today, but you should go to the source of the problem. Stop trying to be reactive. Be preventive. This problem starts at home. Save the marriage, save the family, and we WILL save America.
