You heard me right. Those people will not stop at just banning game
sales to minors, they will eventually want to seek bans on game
contents.

LOL, I loved this bit:
"We respect the First Amendment and do not advocate censorship.
However, we have the right to tell the industry that we will not
accept the glorification of violence towards police officers."

Is DiF***wit's mum behind this one?

Well thank God someone is standing up for our impressionable little
minds! It's about time someone did!

I'm certainly going to sign that petition, as surely as my name is
Mary-Juanna Reefer, and I suggest every other right-thinking
individual here does too!

I'm with ya Mary. Plus I think they should extend it to shooting
civilians in games. Then we should look at whether it's right to shoot
soldiers in games - I guess a lot of folk shot german soldiers during
their gaming moments last night but we're not at war with Germany - I
mean is it right to shoot soldiers of an army you are not actually at
war with?

And what about animals? I once saw this game for sale, where you were
supposed to sneak up on and brutally shoot a poor defenceless deer!!!
On purpose!!! And you could wound it, so it'd run off, and you could
track it by following the blood dripping off it!!! And shoot it
again!!!
Everytime I think of the suffering of those poor electrons on the
screen, I just want to cry.

I think I'm going to have to ask my neighbors Claire Voyant and Hugh G
Reckshon sign this petition too!

Totally with you. You know I do see an opportunity here to extend it
further. It's not just the killings. Games such as Age of Empires
blatantly put gamers in a position of power where they abuse their
workers rights, working them for hours on end with no break and just
killing them off when their usefullness has expired. These gamers then
go onto become the captains of industry (those that dont follow the
killer career path of course). How can this be defended? No wonder
there is so much stress and bullying in the workplace. Damn. Perhaps
we can get difsayno to write a 'document'.

You all left out the games like Tetris and Bejeweled. Where the player
get's 3 boxes in a row and BOOM! They blow up.

Poor, poor boxes. <sigh>
I tried that in my living room the other night with some u-haul boxes. It
didn't work to well. Then I realized that I'd forgotten the M80's...

As funny as this immature little Beavis & Butthead exchange has been
(HE,
HE, HA, HA, HI, HI), you guys don't seem to be able to discriminate
much
between degrees of right wrong or hold a meaningful conversation
regarding
this topic. You certainly don't seem to have raised any small children
of
your own (if you have, God help us!, they are no doubt gun-totin little

rednecks in the making, though & through . And you certainly haven't
got a
clue how the 1st Amendment actually applies, which is even sadder,
because
most of you are yanks lol.

Oh yeah, & GTA is the worst POS dribble that has come out of a game box
in
many years >;-p

Hey is this guy ripping on us yanks? wtf is up with that. Must be a
foriegner. I agree that people and conservatists groups are always
looking for a shot to make it at the headlines. I for one, Dont play
GTA SA . But I was a big fan of VC, and VC Online. If kids portray what
they learn in a game, then its not the video game makers fault, its the
parents neglect on raising them. If anyone should be punished, it
should be the parents. And this petition will never go. Last I read
that 80% of americans are gamers in a certain kind of way. More as the
years go on. So ditch the negitivity, and Look at the positive side,
atleast the 20 percent that arent gamers, arent working for video game
companies making us games that make you hug trees, and feed rabbits.

Good point, nossy. Why don't you explain to these moral deviants why
the one entirely fictional two-dimensional depiction is more wrong
than another entirely fictional two-dimensional depiction, and how
this translates into reality?

And where was the First Amendment when Howard Stern was fined for
baring his breasts on the air?

Well, at least we now know the answer to the age-old question "Did
anyone named after a spaceship ever pass a drug test?"...

You got all that from a joke exchange. Your powers of perception are

Wouldn't know. Played GTA VC for a while but got bored. That was a

Look Nostromo - it's a serious issue that needs a serious debate. Doing
it here with a bunch of rednecks, liberals and 14yr olds is not the
forum for it.

And I can tell you that I can discern reality from video games, tv, movies,
music, or otherwise. Today on my way to work, I had a terrible traffic
accident happen right before my eyes. Sure in any PC game that would be
"cool" to see. But after jumping out of my car and dragging this person out
of his cargo van on its side, it is has a million times more impact that
seeing it on screen, realistic or otherwise. Thank God that everyone was ok.
And the sight of someone else bleeding in reality really made an impact on
me. I didn't make the connection here earlier, but the more I thought about
it, the more I realized how much something like blaming video game violence
pisses me off.

Games allow us to fantasize non-violently against other beings. For those
that cannot discern the difference, they will more than likely find a way to
enact their fantasies on reality anyways. But that's my opinion and I'm no
psychiatrist.

Well, 'nuf said from me...

Lol. That's OK - you dont *have* to be all three

Issue of censorship that affects our games does require serious debate -
but this NG aint the place for it. Too many mass-debaters. Serious
ridicule *is* what is required 'here'.

It's not a serious issue, it's a cheap cop out.

GTA didn't make anyone shoot anyone, or steal cars or do anything else.

The only problem here is the American legal system ACCEPTING these
modern equivalents of "The Devil made me do it" argument.

Censorship calls should ALWAYS be treated with the respect they deserve;
unbridled ridicule.

ANY attempt to blame someone/something else for YOUR choices/actions
should also be met with the utmost derision.

Dont misunderstand me Xocyll, I agree with your comments but if there is
no debate, if you do not take it seriously, then you may find a creeping
censorship coming into force purely because it is a popular and
UNCONTESTED cause. Politicians do not do what is right - they do what
is popular. How the hell do you think political correctness came about?
Unless challenged these things creep in.

I've been looking for a way to tell whose posts to trust on this NG.
And you've found it for me.

So, anyone using Google and a Yahoo email address is obviously a bit
flakey. And presumably anyone with a real-looking email address and
using a newsreader is legit?

Ah, but I shouldn't put any faith in what I say.
