I'd call the US on being the "number one country in the world" if this was truth. I mean, god damn.

I had to write a 2500 word page on something of interest as a sort-of final for English 11 last year and did it on Video Games and their inffluence of children and such. My main object was Jack Thompson and what he should do instead.

He alienates (sp?) the very people that would be more than willing to help him. I for one, and as some stated earlier, others are acctually interested in better regulation of games. My sister was recently playing a game on the Gamecube that had near blatant sexual innuendos. She is 8 and doesn't need to be hearing that stuff.

What Utah's Attorney General is tring to do is a very good thing, and something that gamers everywhere shuold try to support, or forever be labled whatever the next crazy coot calls us.

I wrote a 15-page rant against video game censorship for english myself. My teacher was a bit surprised that a student was actually INTERESTED in their end-of-the-semester English 101 paper. There are days I think about going back and revising/expanding it, but there'd really be no point.

As for the rest, nothing much I can add except my stamp of approval. Very well said.
