The fundamental flaw in this line of reasoning Jeffrey... and this is a 
flaw which any sophomore would have been able to spot in the days when 
they still taught logic and critical reasoning skills at American 
universities is this:


-> Putting violent arcade games in an educational resource violates the 
right to spiritual and emotional recovery for nations that are in the 
process of recovering from war.

-> Making lists of whatever entertainment resources you wish _OFF-SITE_ 
does not violate anyone's freedom of speech nor their right to choose 
whatever type of drivel they wish to waste their time on.


What part of this do you not understand ?
