Scratching my head? What? (Score 1)

While I don't see it as first ammendment violation, I'm still scratching my head as to why? Okay so there are R rated movies and kids sneak into them do we need more warnings? Do we need another law? What about newscasts and newspapers, they have stories about death and violence, do we need a law to force them to put warnings on their content? Here's the point, the game has a rating. If it says M, then what more do you want? And those that would be stupid enough to say that parents or children don't know what the M means then how does everyone know what an R means (at least in terms of who can get in.) It just doesn't make any sense to pass any more laws. I've been at, and worked at, game stores where parents will buy these games for their children and just don't care even after explaining the games to them. I was once yelled at and had a parent threaten to call the cops all because I told his 12 year old son he couldn't buy Grand Theft Auto III without his permission(store policy and it wasn't EB or Gamestop.) If a parent doesn't care where their money goes when the child spends it then tough luck. I used to be in support of carding for M rated games. I still wouldn't care if they did it but what's the point when parents don't care? And beyond that there are parental controls on game consoles, if you aren't willing to use it as a parent it's your own fault! Be involved in your children's lives and spend some time with them. I know I do with my own. And anyways remember the TV control chips that worked so brilliantly? If parents don't use them they don't work. So how will this be any different. This more sounds like some politician looking to pad their vote count by saying "LOOK I DID SOMETHING!" when all they did was waste a signature on toilet paper that won't solve any of the problems it intends to curtail.
