I reality, kids can buy almost anything that an adult can buy. Adult games to alcohol to drugs to porn, altho who would waste money when it's free on line. The laws are feel-good for the parents. Kids are ingenious in their cunning. I know I used to be one myself, but the bad stuff wasn't around much then.

Nobody can control kids nowadays, even their parents have a hard time with them.
Violent video games were sold at walmart to minors, and they did a reporting on the issue. Made a difference, no.

"The law, or Act 441, denies the sales of video games to minors in case [...] The game, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artist, political or scientific value for minors."
What video game HAS serious literary, artist, political or scientific value for minors??? And what minor would WANT to buy a game WITH literary, artist, political or scientific value?

Dear Johnodd4,
It's "their bums" not "there bums", mr. harvard educated, I can read so well. Put down the bong and get a F--- dictionary. Looks like you got out of public education just what you put in to it. "World's most dumbest laws"? Grammar for dummies won't get you through life, are you really from here? So I guess Louisiana has no monopoly on morons, you've proven they're (not there) everywhere!

I think Louisiana should be considered with the levies rather than some pointless video games. Louisiana is still at risk, politicians are such useless scoundrel at times, I swear.

Hi ZIPPYDSM,
Well, it's spelled "asinine" not "asine", but I gather from your other posts that spelling and writing with good grammar don't really matter much. You know, I just get tired of people who can't spell or write, knocking Louisiana as some kind of home for idiots. There are plenty to go around everywhere, and I bet if you checked your own state legislature, you'd find at least one dumb law, trust me. Have a nice day, and stop picking on Louisiana, people here are just like people everywhere else, even in the legislature.

And HOT ICE,
it's "levees" not "levies". Jeeez..can no one spell at all anymore? But hey, I'm sure I'll get a brilliant, misspelled flame for this, so go for it guys.

@bushfilm
I am in Louisiana and for far too long. My whole life save a few early years and college. We have more than our share of idiots in this state. The legislature included, hell start with the Governor. The two laws that where pushed, one about the video games and another about mandatory pet evacuations from hurricanes(I can just see the pit bulls in the shelters); just two prime examples while New Orleans festers in it's own rotting trash. They are just now removing abandoned autos. So far they are on a fast track to rebuild New Orleans worse than it was before Katrina. They've just called in the National Guard. So until wholesale changes are made at the top of Government on down, then outsiders are going to coninue to laugh at us. But other states have their share of idiots as you say. Ours just make bigger headlines. Where do you live?

Bushfilm, you're making a big deal out of a single mistake, I wonder, does someone have a sudden craving for attention?
Lest I forget, you are perfect, as such, you are entitled to your crown, O' venerable king of superiority.
I am not really known for my sense of humour, but I know a sick joke when I see one.
Good day.

Hot Ice,
What single mistake are you talking about? No, not perfect, just willing to make the effort to write a coherent sentence with most of the words spelled right. Point here is, and lets all pay attention, Louisiana has some dumb legislators who pass some pretty dumb laws from time to time, but I think you can find some dumb laws and legislators who pass them, just about everywhere. For some reason, people just like to jump on Louisiana and I don't think its deserved, nor is the timing particularly appropriate. Got it? Thanks, now I'm off to correct all the flaws on some other forum.

@Bushfilm
"What single mistake are you talking about?"
Don't play coy with me Bushfilm. You know exactly what I'm referring to, you prevaricating fefnicute.
"just willing to make the effort to write a coherent sentence"
What a mendacious statement: logically speaking, if my sentence was incoherent, then how is it, you would know I was referring to levees in my sentence? Oh! That's right, you have telepathy.
"Got it?"
No. Come again?
"Thanks, now I'm off to correct all the flaws on some other forum."
If you have that much time on your hands, do something constructive with your time, and stop being an abrasive character with others.
Thank you, come again.

I take back the words, "prevaricating fefnicute", but everything else fits the circumstances.
