Video Games will not be banned. It is the peoples problems if they are offended by a game. As there are rating labels, and, though I don't have a problem with any games, if a person has an issue with the violent/explicit games, then don't buy it.
Please, please, PLEASE, stop talking badly about both Mortal Kombat and the GTA games. If you do not like a game because it is violent, don't buy it!
First, Mortal Kombat. It was not the first game to contain violence. Yes, it was one of the first games to be as graphic, seeing as I can still get the 'rip-the-guys-head-and-spine-out' fatality nearly every time on the original, but don't talk about it as if it is the spawn of Satan and all that which is evil. If you are going to blame Mortal Kombat for introducing Violence, then you might as well pin Duck Hunt for the idea of shooting for sport.
And GTA. I personally don't like them, but that's no reason to rip them off the shelves. I have already said this, but if you do not like the game, dont' buy it. As long as a person isn't influenced into buying a horde of guns and taking on gangs and the police, I don't care who plays what.
Even if there is some insane law that bans so called 'Bad' games, Mario would have to start sniffing lines and do the horizontal tango with Peach to come anywhere near that. Though not a kids game persay, it is still light-hearted enough. Also, any ban would never work. The US tried that before, only saying booze was bad, and thus was made illegal. It backfired. Somehow, I doubt this would work any better.
