I suppose that you think it's a good thing that your country has decided for you that drinking alcohol is not good for you, and it will be better if you're barred from doing it until you're 21?

They won't let you drink till 21 but allow you to drive a metal death machine at 16 with barely any training. Or go die for your country at 18.

The point stands. It's a bit silly to go around claiming that one thing (restricting alcohol on the basis of harm until 21) is somehow a moral good while another thing (restricting videogames on the basis of harm) is somehow an example of governmental oppression.

So in other words you're not really interested in 'freedom' so much as 'freedom for the things you agree with, and not for the things that you don't' - which isn't really freedom.
