My state, Virginia, was among the first in the US to implement the age verification thing in order to access porn sites a few years back. That I could get behind, making it harder for teens to access porn during their formative years is actually a good thing. But age verification in order to access social features like voice chat on Xbox? That just seems extreme to me. How soft are these people, my generation grew up playing games like Halo with voice chat, and those just a few years younger than me grew up playing the infamous Modern Warfare 2, with it's lobbies full of people hurling racial slurs and death threats. We all turned out fine, we had the ability to separate reality from a video game lobby. Why do they think teens need to be blocked from using voice chat now?
