[QUOTE="jesta, post: 39693, member: 195"] Last I week I opened a thread titled 'Cameron to ban video games'. Well now the Prime Minister himself, the leader of the opposition, the guy no-one had to vote for, also agrees! [img]http://www.englandism.com/images/gordon-brown.jpg[/img] "After Tory leader David Cameron voiced his views on violent games last week, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has jumped into the debate, claiming there is a growing concern amongst the public regarding the effects of such games on youngsters. According to UK tabloid The Mirror, Brown plans to investigate whether new rules are needed when advertising or selling potentially violent games to youths. He claimed: "Parents are concerned about whether children are exposed to harmful violence and sexual imagery in games and on the internet." Futhermore, later this week, Brown will unveil new proposals concerning the regulation of videogames to a 'Citizens' Jury' as part of a series of debates on anti-social behaviour. This group consists of members of the public who'll be consulted by the British Government on issues surrounding youth safety. So, here's to a future full of Viva Pinata and Brain Training titles then. Hooray!"

Or is it just more fear mongering and a need from the higher powers to be able to control us in whatever we do?! We've seen it all before in the US, blame Marylin Manson or video games, just don't blame the government! Man it makes me mad! :mega_shok: [/QUOTE]
