AP - The video game industry seems to delight in pushing the envelope — and the bounds of good taste — with ever-gorier content. That has put it under renewed attack from legislators and activists who claim some titles must be kept out of kids' hands, though courts have repeatedly granted games First Amendment protections.

Governor's Crusade Against Violent Video
Games Backfires

Governor's Crusade Against Violent Video
Games Backfires 12/22/2004 01:16 AM
Someone who prefers to remain anonymous writes "Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich had his crusade against violent and sexually explicit video games backfire when his office promoted the wrong Web site. The reported site also included links to pages on Amazon.com where the games the governor believes are offensive can be easily purchased. Kinda serves the Governor office right for not registering the .com when registering the .org." It's amazing how many times this sort of thing happens, where someone promotes a .com instead of a .org -- but this time, whoever bought the .com made sure that it was very much opposed to the plan.

Correlation, Causation, Violent Video
Games... And Church 03/19/2005 03:18 AM
While some have been quick to link all sorts of violent video games to crimes committed by teens, there's plenty to suggest they' re not the problem. To make a similar point, someone has noticed that a number of recent mass murderers were religious church-goers, yet no one is blaming church for their killing sprees -- nor should they. It's easy to show a correlation. It's much more difficult to prove that one thing really resulted in the other.

New Zealand Bans Violent Video Game

New Zealand Bans Violent Video Game 12/12/2003 02:02 PM
In one single action, New Zealand's "Chief Censor" has just given Rockstar Game's Manhunt more publicity than they probably could have bought. New Zealand is completely banning the game for being too violent. I don't know anything about the game, and it certainly doesn't sound like anything I'd want to play. If New Zealand wants to ban it, that's their issue. My question, though, if the game is so dangerous that no one should dare be allowed to view it, how come the folks at the Censor's office haven't gone crazy shooting up the world? What makes them so special that they can view the game, realize it's "just a game" and continue acting in a civilized way in the real world? How come they think that everyone else in the country doesn't have that ability?

California bill to ease move aways by
custodial parents pulled. 08/18/2004 04:40 PM
California bill to ease "move aways" by custodial parents pulled. Until a recent CA Supreme Court decision, it was easy for custodial parents to move themselves and their children far from their ex-spouse. The Court reversed the old rule and held that the move could be blocked if the non-custodial parent could show that it would interfere with his/her relationship with the kids. Legislation to reimpose the old permissive standard passed through the State Senate, but has now been pulled off the legislative calendar after an outcry by father's rights groups.
