If adult gamers are so keen to have R18+ games, I expect children would be just as keen. I have publically argued that because electronic games are interactive, the violence and other adult content in games have a strong impact. I am particularly concerned about the impact these games have on children, who can spend a lot of their unsupervised leisure time gaming.

Man, couldn't the same be said of any R18+ rated DVD ("i cannot fathom what state-enforced safeguards could exist to prevent kiddies from finding daddy's porn stash")? They say drugs in the vidya is wrong, oh so wrong but any kid could switch on to House at 8:30pm and watch some glorified pill-popping antics. I didn't realise it took federal law to do a parent's job! Because surely the classifications serve as a guideline to inform parent's about the content of a game, from which they can they can act as, say, parents? Oh but that's too hard man, the kid's might get grumpy they might throw a tantrum! Given that many modern consoles provide parents with settings to restrict the playing of these games and enforcing classifications, this argument holds too many parallels with other mediums that aren't under the same scrutiny, pressure or limitations as the gaming industry for it to remain valid.

I'M SORRY MISTER ATKINSONS BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUSH YOUR CONSERVATIVE AGENDA SOMEPLACE ELSE

MAYBE YOU COULD TEAM UP WITH ANDREW BOLT OR SOMETHING?
