Topping the "Way to Prioritize. GOP," attack violent video games

[SammyBlue]

I don't care if you like or don't like violent video games. . .this is a who gives a shit? I've been playing violent games for 15 years.

My brother plays 1st person war game shooters. . .doesn't kill anyone in in real life.

Way to prioritize, Republican assholes!

BTW, I hate this Parental Advisory and the Video Game ratings shit. . .the only reason I do like it is the "M" rating tells me I should buy the fucking thing!

1. What makes them think it's not their base who's playing the games?

Us tree-hugging, guitar-strumming, organic-gardening, peace-marching, poetry-reading libruls might not be all that inclined to play Death Star - - or whatever the kids are calling it these days. :)

2. I play 'em. Ain't no Republican in me! (written poorly on purpose)

But I like the sarcasm!

[Jane Austin]

6. I'm not saying that some of us - - perhaps a lot of us - - don't play

these games.

I'm just saying that I expect a lot of their base plays 'em, too.

Those games and players are immensly popular, and I don't think that popularity is confined to one or two groups.

BTW, I hope they try this. I think they will show a bunch of their own folks just how nosy and bossy they are.

It's bound to backfire.


(Edited to add a thought.)

4. You have a point there

I'd like to see the demographics but there are a LOT of red staters who play video games.

[Jane Austin]

7. I'll bet you are right.

In some of those red states, there's not a heck of a lot to do in the way of entertainment.

Seems like they'd be ripe for a lot of game action.

3. Only if the video games depict gay sex and abortions.

And a flag burning or two.

5. Pssssssssssss Hillary is attacking them too.......... nt

8. Lieberman is the one who attacks video games and other entertainment

the most, and everyone knows he's not a real Dem

We should make this a GOP issue so they will lose more of the younger voters
