News is interesting only when it concerns me.

Oh my. This has been a big week for news. Two stories are hitting hard. One from around here, and another over in that big America place. 

So let's start with America, since it's Video Game related. The supreme court of America has been called upon to decide whether or not the sale of violent video games should be more closely regulated to prevent minors getting them. This calls upon many things. Are video games protected by the first amendment, are minors able to decide for themselves, and do violent video games have as big an influence as people say? The term "minor" here refers to people under 18. Which is a bit unfair. I'm sure children over 14 can start making decisions, and know the difference between games and reality. And the moderation of games should be done by parents. Not the government. While it may only be in America now, that sort of thing may cause people to look more carefully at games here.

Meanwhile, over here in the UK, our complete and utter wankers Brilliant leaders have had the best idea of raising university costs, and cutting student loans at the same time. Brilliant! By having more money coming in from the students, and giving them less money to cope, our financial crisis will be solved in no time! Who cares if it puts everyone who gets a degree in debt for the rest of their lives! What does it matter if the unemployment rate goes up because people who couldn't afford a degree now can't get jobs? Which will then  cause a drop in trade meaning more debt?

Short term plans right?
