Why do politicians try to single out violent videogames to ban?

Because her name is Hillary Clinton? :P

Yes, a vote to Clinton is a vote for Thompson.

*yeah, I said it*. ;)

Thompson wants an outright ban on games that he personally objects to and Hillary Clinton wants to add fines to retailers who sell M rated games.. that's a pretty big difference. I don't agree with her at all but to say the two are the same is really unfair.

 

Both result in the death of the industry as we know it. But I would argue that Clinton's stance is actually the more extreme of the two. At least Thompson wants it done on a case by case basis, Clinton just wants to make it untennable for retailers to sell M-rated games period.
