Blaze72: I fail to see how its refused through digital download
when something like Postal 2 is only illegal to have here on a cd but its okay through digital download.
IwubCheeze: Since when was consistency and rational thought a prerequisite to being lawmaker? :P
Here in China, it's illegal to own a video game console but you saw PSPs everywhere in the early 2000's, it shows you how seriously people took that law. Fast forward to today, mobile phones have replaced the function of portable video game consoles, PC gaming is still legal like it always was but owning a video game console is still illegal? Yeah, doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?
It's not just lawmakers though. While I was in the UK, I remember people I worked with shunning censorship but when they see something they don't like, their first thought is "it should be banned". Same thing with ""The government should get out of our lives" or "down with the nanny state" yet when there's a problem in society, they turn round and say "The government should do something about it". I'm sure this happens in other countries too.
People are such a versatile species, aren't we?
Agreed. Some of the biggest @$$h0les are those with a "save the world" agenda.
