Will somebody stop the madnes!

Dude parents suck now and days, we don't have parents now that actually give a damn, maybea few, and most just "pretend" to care, like they'll call you up, ask you were you are, and then hang up saying kk, my mom does that sometimes, and it always happens with my friends.

The fact is their turning to the government to do their work in parenting. it states in the friking constituion that Congress shall have no involvement in this kind of thing!

[Lucandrake]

Dude, I noticed that, once I was at a certain place I wasnt sopposed to be , (don't want to get arrested so I aint going to say) , and then my friend ran away telling everyone else that why are you here, our parents have to pay more to the gov so that they can care less about me! He was depressed and it was ryo that said that...

Internet is freedom of speech buddy, it's just an opinion we can freely bash on if it's yours.

[Lucandrake]

Yeah but then if I do post something it might be consedered admiting a crime , so it's bad for me if I end up in court

[Shibathedog]

Whenever i hear about this guy flames shoot out of my eye sockets and it really hurts so i wish he woud STFU

 

Seriously though what a douche bag...Blaming video games is the bottom of the barrel of excuses

 

With the close minded ways they think, Heres an intersting point.

 

In video games, you, the player have to commit the acts of violence, so you have a choice to do it or not.

 

In movies however, you dont have a choice, and you will see violence and blood and all that and theres no controlling it.

 

So wouldnt a movie be worse?

In my opinion, video games have an effect equal in importance to that of TV, music, books, or movies - not significantly any more or any less. All of these things are popular mediums for creative output. Creativity comes in all shapes and sizes, and some of it is clearly NOT for everyone, in ALL of the above media. The difference is that Americans (and others) know what to expect from most of those, but not from games. Games are still in the age of the Atari in thier minds - consisting of abstract kids' games of logic or skill. They don't think of them as creative canvases capable of capturing the realism or feelings of the other popular entertainment.

 

The media, in the meantime, is having a ball at the public expense - making a spectacle of every misguided case brought before a judge. Those who don't understand cry outrage, those who are familiar with games cry foul, and the media picks the most sensational voice - that of the angry mob - to amplify and draw more ratings. In turn, the public and the government, respond to the misguided angry voices and ignore the voice of reason.

 

This ignorance should filter out in a generation or so - as new adults are increasingly familiar with video games as they really are. However, if some hand-holder bill is passed to "protect" us from this "evil" new phenomenon, it may take longer to come around.

Well , I noticed that more games are coming out rated T now...well in the store shelves so don't ask me for names, and that alot of movies are also being rated pg-13. Post up anymore thoughts of what you think

Mass market appeal. That's what it is. The Godfather is going to be EA's first (or first in a loong time) Mature rated game.

 

Ofcourse, being rated R or M doesn't make a movie or game any better.

[Lucandrake]

and that's because most rated r and m movies and games are still allowed to be watched and baught by the majority. I've goten into tons of rated r movies and I have baughted rated M games before at places like circiut city and best buy, especially EB games

Well, you guys in American should start reading up the consitition and start a big massive movement or something that gets parents to actually know what their kids are doing. Because Liberman is doing it for everyone! Stupid Congress sumabitch

[Lucandrake]

No one here is up for that, everyone here is a bunch of lazy retards that somehow ended up getting rich one way or another. If everyone would do a movement, then the first thing they'll aim for is the FCAT, a stupid test based soly on the opiniuns of high republicans and retards that think the world is better of without tv and just school

That's not true. Once I get a few minions willing to do as I say, I can start making America better. And hopefully, one day, the world.

You have such noble goals in life.
