the problem is when that slippery slope does come to an end, just what happened before it did? were games legislated only? maybe they wanted to start censoring books, music? how about movies? Censorship is censorship. No one wants violent games in the hands of children, but when it encroaches on freedoms of speech it's then a larger issue. It becomes "who decides what people can say?" What if you have something to say that someone doesn't like? does it mean they should be able to stop you from saying it? and if you let them tell you what to say, maybe they should tell you how to think as well, because chances are you think differently than them about alot of things. Welcome to that slippery slope we've mentioned. You might get those freedoms back in 50-100 years, whenever they get bored with using that power or someone stands up to them and says "No more!"
