Video Games = Violence?

I couldn't find the original post, but I had a good answer for it.

Someone posted "if pac man had any effect on kids, we would all be munching pills and listening to repetitive music".

Dude, you mean like a rave?

Pac Man Fever used to be my favorite song...I think that was the only thing worse than disco. I used to have a whole tape of video game themes!

Postal wasn't banned in the US. It was pulled by retailers, a right they have. You can buy it at www.gopostal.com

There is a difference between a retailer's decision not to sell a product and a government ban.

BW, this game (with a half-decent graphics engine) is dedicated to killing blacks and jews. I have not played it, but I hear it's pretty sick with sfx, etc.
