Video Games & Our Children

  The Supreme Court is courrently discussing whether or not to sell violent video games to teenagers.    

 
 I think they should be allowed to sell violent games to teenagers. They need to limit how violent. Teenagers are into that and they could sell a video game that deals with fighting but have it be appropriate.


       To make a game unsuitable for people under 18 it would have to have very graphic, and visual pictures. The sound effects to sound as if people were actually dying and being shot in real life. Also have be that it looks so disgusting you can hardly sit there watching it.

       I would draw the line by limiting how much video games are being played so they don't get attached. I would enforce parents to read the warning and not let their children play rated M, and T games if they're underage. In stores they could make sure that the people buying the games are of age.


     I think violent games don't affect young people in a very good way because it exposes them to what's out there. It also makes them more violent especially kids under the age of 12. It doesn't hurt them too much but playing violent games does not give them a huge benefit.

Questions for President Obama...

       How do you come up with the decision of fighting or not fighting a country, what do you take into consideration when deciding what is best for America? Would be the first serious question I would ask our president if I ever got the chance.




       I'd ask him that question because I have always wondered how presidents or people in very high positions tackle on such high responsibilities and very important decisions. I imagine it must be extremely hard and stressful knowing it could change the whole word if you make a wrong decision that could take possibly years to fix. Being president takes such great pressure and commitment, who else helps them in making the decisions and especially the very important life changing ones?

       If I were president of the United States I would have people help out the less fortunate more because I care about them. I would try to make the United States a more peaceful place than it already is, by passing new laws, improving the school curriculum, making higher requirements for students in college to make them motivated to achieve higher goals than they normally would. I would make it a better place not only for the lower class citizens but for the ones who are wealthier and pay taxes. I'd make changes to our government, the health care, inssurance. I would change everything for the better.
