Speaking of games kids should never play, did anyone else have the continuous recurring thought I really hope no one bought this for their kid... while playing Duke Nukem Forever? You just know some dumbass did.

i cant wait til they stop kids playing with toy guns. or pretending to be cowboys & indians. or cops & robbers.

I've heard of case where kids where expelled for that due to threatening violent gestures and such and such, but then again I may have heard it in a Michael Chill Dog Moore documentary so it may be bullshit, whatever.

The enforcement of carding customers via heavy fines for violations Syd mentioned is a good idea in theory, but without vigorous counter intelligence operations (so to speak) to catch people breaking the rule and not carding it's tough to impose. I started smoking cigars and pipes when I was 15 / 16, I had pretty substantial facial hair at the time and was literally never ID checked by multiple stores in my area, I'm still hardly ever carded anywhere despite the local posted advertisement of the rule under 50, if so we're carding or however it's worded because I look like the fucking guy from the Big Brawn Feminine Napkins commercial. So no matter how tough the punishment it wont be caught unless their are people / organizations trolling for said undesirable behavior. That costs money, money no one seems to have right now. Unless you want to save money by farming shit out, let's talk about that scenario!


Maybe some sort of verification system where they scan your ID before the transaction is approved... but in order for that to work you have to set up a database or link in to an existing one like the DMV or whatever, hire and train and vet and security clearance OK them and then train them again and pay these fuckers a legal wage to staff the inner workings of it (let's call it the operation) without a lot of direct oversite because in my experience business entities that require direct oversite tend to get mad about cost and cut you off, if they're going to pay you to do it for them you cannot ask them for help or guidance too much or they will cut your funding despite the deficiency of initial information / training you were given to work with so whoever these phatom people are they'd BETTER NOT FUCK IT UP EVER OR IT'S OVER.

Then you're going to have to roll out a big warning advertisement campaign about it so everyone doesn't get their panties in a twist about it popping up out of nowhere (MONEY MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU SPEAK IT?!). The secure websites that handle the verification of sensitive citizen/consumer info between point of sales terminals and said database is going to be a pricey bit of tech and farmed out to the lowest bidder which naturally leads to cutting costs but potentially increasing customer/consumer risk of identity theft due to data transfer that in all likelihood will be across multiple state lines and also poorly staffed (talking quality employees here, not staffing for expected volume although that will be a whole different can of worms not really covered in this explanation ) in order to save money, lest this supposed program leech severely needed / not even available money from said State's already swollen budget.... shit it would be an even bigger clusterfuck if the fucking program was across ALL states.

In closing such a system of checks and balances is potential but will cost ya if you want it to work correctly... *makes it'll cost ya gesture with hand while looking away from podium distastefully*

Longest sentence ever 2. You could easily set up a check/balance where M rated games require a drivers license number. Don't scan it or manually key it in, then no dice. "Problem" solved.

Sorry I was tanked, like really tanked. I think I edited that like seven times.
