"Studies show children and teens can easily become desensitized to such violence. They are already excluded from going to or renting violent and sexually explicit movies. It makes sense to keep the video games in the same category."
LINKPLZ!!!
Oh, that's right. You can't, because the studies you referred to DON'T EXIST!
"The simulated violence on some video games goes beyond shock value. It transcends even the most violent of movies... "
Movies have been around a lot longer than games, so they've had plenty of time to learn how to turn people's stomachs. Go ahead and pick out the most violent game you can think of, and I can tell you about a movie that's twice as bad. Go ahead, try me!
Manhunt was about some creepy guy that liked to watch people maim and kill each other, so I guess "Saw" is pretty close. Oh, and that Arnold Shwarzenneger movie, "The Running Man" Exact same concept as Manhunt, and nobody protests that.
F.E.A.R., Blood and gore in slow motion? Well, this thing can't touch "Equilibrium". Equilibrium looks like The Matrix and has a ridicously stupid story. The action is great though. And it has Patrick Bateman in it! (Batman, American Psycho)
The Suffering? There's nothing in there more Graphic than "Hostel" Ever seen Hostel? If you haven't, don't. People get blowtorched in the face until their eyes pop out. It's rated "R" by the way.

Show me a game that's that violent. Seriously. The most violent games I know of are Manhunt and Postal 2, and I've seen much worse violence in movies than I have in either game. Well, I suppose there is always Chiller, but that was an arcade game from 1986, so I think it's fair to assume that the writer has never even heard of it, and regardless, there's still worse in movies.
Oklahoma children will have to find an adult to buy ultra-violent games for them
THEY SHOULDN'T BE GETTING VIOLENT GAMES AT ALL! I thought that was the point of this whole thing! Oh, wait, no, the point is for the politicians to garner votes. Sorry, I forgot where we were for a moment.
Exactly, theaters enforce the age restrictions on voluntary grounds. Because if the don't enforce it, they will either A)Lose the theater; B)Get sued by the "vitctims"; C)Lose support from the studios that give them the rights to show them the movie; D)All of the above or a combination.
"children will have to find an adult to buy ultra-violent games for them" (I took out Oklahoma because this statement affects everyone in the end) That is true, buecause the retailers have been enforcing the rating system a lot more than before, JUST LIKE THEATERS!!!! But wait, we didn't think about that, or rather, we didn't think.
Now of course, there are a lot better options on these bills, but because they are so irational and looking for support SO BADLY that they just pull out whatever crap comes out of their ass. Isn't that a problem?
