		I'm saying that a claim 'videogames are bad' is worthy of debate and argument on its own merits at all times, but that the move from 'videogames are bad' to 'let's ban videogames' implies a different standard.
		Videogames are popular; their users show no apparent dissatisfaction with what they are doing.
		If one is to argue that policy toward videogames ought to become more negative than it is, then one must first establish harm.

		Basically what's happening is some airhead is attempting to pass a law making it illegal to sell violent videogames to anyone (in Tennesee).
		What ticks me off the most, is that a majority of the people trying to pass these so-called bills to ban violent videogames, is that many of them have never even sat down to pick up a gaming controller (much less try to understand the concept behind the game). All they see is "Hot coffee mod" or "Look!
		Educate yourself on the true essense of what gaming in itself is. Videogame's aren't something you pass laws on, they're a form of entertainment in which you live to temporarily escape reality. Thanks for reading.
