Congress floats video games enforcement act

Comments

Enforecements

So now teens that are under the age to purchase games will have to get their parents to buy them those games or order online.

Additionally older brothers & older friends will be able to get the games for them.

If they cannot prevent alcohol getting into the hands of teens, they will definitely not be able to prevent games.

Maybe they need another RPG to take out this fly.

Creepy

A large electronics chain in holland called media-mart also has a sticker that says they won't sell 16+ rated material (games/movies) to under 16 and they will ask for ID if in doubt, and that while the country HAS NO SUCH LAWS that I know of and the labelling is merely advisory.
That's what you get from american "culture" creeping into societies if you aren't damn careful and watchful.

w is under 16

Perhaps media mart is actually paying attention to medical studies .... and they are playing up to the parents... let your kids come here they won't buy what you don't want them too....

and about being careful about "culture" creeping.... It would help you to have Americas medical culture creep into holland then you wouldn't have to worry about your doctor killing you if he thinks your not worth it.

So please cork the anti-America speech ... each democratic nation has its pros and cons but always blaming America for everything is lame.
