Politicians (AKA Scumbags) wants to create law in Brazil that makes violent video....

games criminal.

"It is not the first time this issue is being addressed in the country, but now it can get really serious, it was approved with the Constitution and Justice Commission of a law that makes it a crime to sell, import or distribution of games that government considers violent or offensive.

To make matters worse the law is poorly explained, which would allow almost any game to be banned in this country, because it does not say exactly what is forbidden, making room for different interpretations.

The law, which now only needs to be approved by the Senate to be worth, is causing outrage companies and gamers all over the country, because once again the politicians are playing with a theme that know, trying to create an unreasonable law, for games are regarded as cultural products and could not be prohibited. The government could only advise the population on the consumption of games.

"We also need to consider two factors: a constraint in this way would constitute a violation of freedom of expression and also open the door to even more piracy of games," said Association President Commercial, Industrial and Cultural Games."

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Politicians are opportunistic mother fuckers who are only good for taking a bullet to the face.

Why would they even want to do this? What's the purpose? Violent video games never cause a person to become violent themselves unless they're fucked in the head. That law is incredibly retarded and unnecessary. These politicians probably haven't ever played these games themselves anyways, so IMO they shouldn't be able to control it like this.

This is what I hope for these fucktards scumbags:

What's with brazil first homophobia, now violent video games

[Luizao876]

It's my country. Sometimes, Brazil does good things (Not saying that criminalizing homophobia is a true way to go) and does shit like this.

sarcasm? I can't really tell and you're new so you could be the "bomb dem sand niggurs" type
But if you were serious, it was just some guy online. I was browsing through the comments on some war related story and there were a lot of stupid comments and this one shined (shone?) out through all the bullshit.
