SC Upholds 1st Amendment

But I still have to say, I agree with the dissenting justice when he questioned why it is fine to let a 13 year-old play a game in which he kidnaps, binds and tortures an innocent woman but abhorrent for him to see a real naked woman in a magazine.

I question why it is not fine to let anyone play any video game or see pictures of naked women (in magazines or no).
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
THAT would make sense.

Law is not about sense.
So in the USA, do games have age-restrictions at all? I mean, here in the UK, it's illegal to sell a game with an "18" certificate to anyone under that age; same goes for games with "15" and "12" certificates.
There is no legal restriction but businesses do restrict the selling of games by age.

Yes, if there's one thing I find insane about America, it's the fact that we find ourselves much more willing to get into moral panics over sex than something like violence, and that it's the panics about sex that we find the biggest need to try to solve.
