I say we draw a line with movies and completely eliminate horror, slasher, and violent war movies as well. While we are at it lets ban novels that deal with violence too. You know things like Band of Brothers and War and Peace deal with violence in a way, so they should be banned as well. Oh and we can't forget ****ography [though that one I might support in actuality].

You cannot selectively limit one form of entertainment without doing the same to all the others JP. If you would, fans of the limited one would cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war for sure, and a violent movie can have the same effect as a violent video game. They are both limited to a certain age group though, and it is the parent's responsibility to limit what their child it exposed to, not the governments.
C'mon Hers, you can't put video games on the same level as movies and books. Video games engage the individual, make them play stuff out. It is a whole nother level. I do not agree that what applies to video games applies to movies.
Say you watch a movie about rape and murder, no big deal, right? Then you watch someone do it in real life. Then you do it yourself. A video game is somewhere between the movie and doing the act yourself. Because you are acting it out in a virtual world. So anything in virtual reality is OK?
