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.
