So don't play those games, and when you've got kids don't let them play those games. That's as far as your rights go on the issue, and that's as far as anybody's influence should extend. I'm rather thankful that you're not old enough to try and impress your view of how things "ought to be" on everybody else (biased sonovabitch that I am). Hopefully you will keep an open mind as you mature and eventually realize that no form of entertainment has any influence on a child if their parents don't allow it to. Government regulation is a waste of taxpayer money, a degradation of parental responsibility, and downright dangerous to personal liberty when applied to anything covered by the First Amendment. We've got enough stupid censorship already without it encroaching on yet another medium.

Videogames are just a convenient scapegoat for the problems of society. Take a look back through history, and you'll find that everything from comic books to action figures to saturday morning cartoons has been blamed for the same things at some point or another. In any case where the blame shifts as the medium changes, there's more than likely a failure somewhere else that someone just doesn't want to admit to.

"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
