Good.
OK, fine. The 'even with parental consent' thing cause me ethical problems. But parents are stupid...and weak. Teen girls don't need to #$%^ing tan. Want boys to like you? Get a personality.

Update: Violent game decision experts experience varies widely
In the SCOTUS decision, the justices referenced that the studies regarding the youth link between violent video games and violence were not conclusive. But looking at the experts' experience, maybe it should have been more conclusive than they thought.
And yes, I hate saying this.
Those experts on the side of the fact that there IS a link between video game violence and real world violence in young kids had MUCH better research cred than those debunking the link.
That's not to say that the pro-link experts were RIGHT. Just more prolific in original research...in the field of violence and media...and everything else. ....Damn....
News: Capcom makes newest game one-play...forever!

SCOTUS: States can't ban sale, rental of violent games to minorsF

He added that the videogame law �abridges the First Amendment rights of young people whose parents (and aunts and uncles) think violent videogames are a harmless pastime.�

Study: Violent video games correlate to lower crime rates
Even if violent video games increase aggressive tendencies, the amount of time the kids are (I'll use the articles word) incapacitated, that is, not outside committing violent acts, far outweighs the downside. Study by University of Texas and the Centre for European Economic Research.

News: Texas court rules spanking is felony injury to a child
WTF. Seriously. I would understand a brutal, vicious, or too repeated spanking. But a simple spaking? A felony? WTF.
