Hmmm. I thought we were supposed to have more freedom under liberalism?

Wasn't California, or some California city trying to put a ban on violent video games? Heard it on the news a couple days ago.

Are you kidding me? Yes, take the responsibility from the parents and children and let the government pass laws banning the free market! I honestly don't know how Michael Savage lives there. Or any rational human being for that matter. :roll:

With California having voted down both gay marriage and the legalization of marijuana, I don't really believe we should consider California to be any kind of a "liberal beacon"...they're obviously nothing of the sort.

So you don't consider California to be your liberal beacon? What state do you hold as your liberal beacon?

That you believe I am such a strong liberal so as to have a liberal beacon leads me to believe you don't have the common sense that God gave a goose.

I just wonder who is a liberal beacon for you as California is "obviously nothing of the sort."

I just wonder why you are so blinded that you believe there needs to be a liberal beacon.

Well if there doesn't need to be a liberal beacon then I'm not really sure why you even brought it up. Also I have never said that I believe there needs to be a liberal beacon.

Perhaps you should read the subject line for threads you're posting in then. Then again, when you don't even read simple posts properly, why should I expect you to do that?

You never tire of embarrassing yourself, do you?

You're desperately trying to make that bell ring aren't you. I could care less about your standard insults. Anyhow let's get back to the point of the thread as you've already implied that liberal beacons are not necessary then. Do you agree with the liberal / SF decision to cut out toys from Happy Meals and why?

I'm not desperately doing anything. I am wondering why you insist on embarrassing yourself, however.

I think it's a waste of time, personally. Parents that take their kids to McDonald's so routinely as to affect their child's health aren't going to stop doing so because of this sort of thing. And those kids certainly won't stop eating the crap.

Proponents of the law would argue that even if the difference is marginal that it's worth it. I think they would argue that it has an even bigger impact though.

Do you believe that the law is Constitutional?

I don't know anything about California's Constitution. Do you have a link to it?

I meant the US Constitution. I think I'd spare you from researching the California Constitution but that is an interesting possibility too.

Why is the US Constitution relevant to this at this point? The law being passed has nothing to do with the Federal Government. Shouldn't state laws be resolved first at the state level before becoming a matter for the Supreme Court?

That aside, in what manner could this law be considered unConstitutional from a Federal perspective?
