Being an American, it's tough to swallow the "Americans are stupid" part, though for a large part I can't say I disagree.. After two terms of Dubya, I'm more than willing to give Obama all the rope he needs, and hope he uses it to pull this country out of its slump. Seems the White House is the only part of Government really trying to get anything done, the Supreme Court is pretty much dead with all that's been going on, and the Republicans in the House and Senate were too used to Bush letting them run amok to want to let anyone do anything for anyone else. Since Obama started proposing all these ideas that were actually going to save this country in the long run, even if it cost us in the short-term (can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs, though), this has pretty much been the norm.:
Democrats/Obama: "We'll give the American people Universal Health Care!"
Republicans: "They'll unplug grandma and spoon-feed her corpse Socialist hippie agendas, while telling you how to live your life and rifling through your doctors' files."
Democrats/Obama: "We're going to put thousands, millions, of unemployed Americans back to work, and invest much more heavily in companies that keep those jobs here!"
Republicans: "They'll make us go broke with their Socialist agendas."
Democrats/Obama: "We're going to make sure education is a top priority, because the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow!"
Republicans: "They're going to brainwash your children to become the next Hitler Youth."
Independents: *stand in the corner picking their noses* "No comment."
There's been more, but that's the gist of it. Sad to see ignorance has apparently won out this time around, but I for one am going to remember the old addage "we made you, and we can break you" should the usual continue.

Garek Maxwell guitargod4900 actually theyre not just cencoring them, they're preventing the production and sales of M and T rated games. they already got california! gonk Completely false.1. They haven't censored anything yet. There are groups that want to, but that is not what the case is about. The case being heard by the Supreme Court is different from others which have not been upheld by lower courts. 2. There has not been any ban on the production of any games past T rating. 3. California has NOT banned the sale of the games, nor the production either. 4. The law in question is to place violent video games into the same category as pornography, making it illegal to sell directly to minors. Parents could still purchase these games for their children however. 5. It is still a free speech issue and a sticky one at that due to the laws not being a total ban on sales and manufacture. http://kotaku.com/5678354/all-you-need-to-know-about-this-weeks-violent-video-game-case-in-the-us-supreme-court
Somehow, I actually figured that was still the case.. I'd heard that much broadcast on almost every news network, never heard that anyone had actually completely banned or stopped the production of them.
Just goes to show a little misinformation can go a long way to inducing false alarm..
