No i was comparing the government stepping and rating games to the time when the collier county school board stepped in and tried to test students with their own exams. The school board gave county wide exams for all subjects and this was a terrible idea because they were expecting all students in the whole county to be on the same level and the result was most students didn't pass the boards final exams. In short the school board stepped in to something they knew nothing about and had no business in doing.
The government stepping in to rate games is just a terrible idea because they know nothing about the gaming industry and clearly don't realize that there is already a rating system set up for games. So Theoretically the government could view something like Super Smash Bros or Final Fantasy 13 as being too violent even though the violence in those is games is on the more milder side. Because their view on games is black and white.

So the SCHOOL board knows nothing about education and has no right to give out tests? SCHOOL board. You sure about that metaphor?
School board giving test =/= Government rating games

I dunno, Pete..the School Board here is pretty awful. However, from a general standpoint, School Boards should be competent at school-related issues, so Jerem'y metaphor doesn't work in that regard. I would say it is more like if Dumb Farks regulated what bands you could say you liked in the Music section. The system of your free speech seems to work fine, so there is no need for us to decide what bands you can say you like.

that's a better one Mike. thank you. Back to the issue I for one strongly disagree with the government stepping into to something like this. It's as Mike said "history shows that when the government tends to get invovled in things that are going just fine it almost always goes bad."

In all honesty, I think nothing will come of this. This lawsuit won't fly for long.

I'm not following it all too much, but I'm sure that if it gets passed, some issues with gaming sales will occur in the Golden State.

I doubt it will get passed but at the same time I always try to expect the worst
