Will Parents be acountable for buying little jonny an 18 game and then the following murder spree with an m16 and frag grenades to get his rank up?

Yay... more politicians deciding what we, the adult gaming comunity, can and cannot play based on the actions of a few people that may or maynot have played a game which may or maynot have influenced their actions and ended up hurting themselves and others... or not as the case may be.

Some times the politicians in this country make me want to cry. But i say we revolt! if they change the way games are rated, i want movies and books to be included. I say ban anything that might be viewed as upsetting to children! Release a version of Bambi where instead of getting shot, Bambis mother explains that a car some where backfired and they can all live happily ever after!

Or we could host a giant lan party up in Parliament and show those stuffy MP's the joy of shooting your friend in the face at point blank rnage with a high powered shotgun in CoD4 and giggling like a school girl afterwards, ill bet it would release a lot of pent up aggression and get them off our case... at least for a little while
