US proposes violent games tax
www.news.com.au
(visit the link for the full news article)
VIOLENT video games could soon be hit with a sales tax.
US congresswoman Diane Franklin said her proposed tax would help to "finance mental health programs and law enforcement measures to prevent mass shootings."
Since the Sandy Hook massacre in November in which 20 children and six adults were killed, American politicians and lobbyists have been pointing the finger at violent video games as the catalysts for the countless massacres that have occurred in the US over the last 50 years.
great idea, i support it...
actually i would ban all violent games and educate the game makers on proper ways of creating a civilized species...
In this world that you live in, would you ban books like "The Art of War", and history books that contain violence?
How about movies, and violent sports? How about banning all animals who attack their prey and consume it alive???
You should probably ban the imagination too, so that no one can come up wwith anything violent in the future....
yep ban all darkness from the planet
ahhh...
feel that?
peace...
bliss
abundance
for all
Sounds good, but you don't think that you could actually "ban all darkness from the planet" do you? Anyway, reading some of your other posts, I'd like to know what planet you live on, because I'd like to move there.
i'm from the the Pleiades star system, we live in utopias there, we are Human and we are very much in your future

Just told Wifey about this and she was laughing at how absurd it was.
And then she comes back and says what about making a video game that is a first person shooter game in a school. Oh, and then one in a church and maybe and old folks home. Oh, and a movie theater, could be a whole series.
Kidding, but...those games probably already exist.

I can't think of a single video game, where the player's objective is kill innocents, in the game. They all have "bad guys', opposing players, or something that represents a threat to the first principle player.

While not the "objective" per se, Grand Theft Auto come pretty darn close.
