What's the damned point.
If you are a parent who allowed your child to have a copy of GTA San Andreas you are an idiot. If you are a parent who allowed your child to have a copy of GTA San Andreas AND you have the audacity to blame video games for your child's behaviour you should be forced to spend a month with a copy of GTA San Andreas shoved up your ass. What's the point of useless ratings if the parents ignore them? If you are a parent who allow their child to play video games but is completely divorced from video games yourself then you a prat, a twat, and a naive dickweed. If you don't know what your kids are up or what they are playing then it's YOUR DAMNED FAULT if he plays Postal 2 and it inspires him to shove a rifle up a cat's ass as a silencer. Besides, a video game could never make a child do something they wouldn't already do. All it does it give them better ideas. But your kid hardly needs to play a video game to start getting ideas about how to blow shit up or shoot up a school. Methods of deaf found in reading material are much more creative than those that are used in tv and games. In books you aren't limited to killing someone in a way that is visually reproduceable.

I agree whole heartedly. The Hot Coffee Hack for San Andreas...sheesh, not like you actually see anything anyways. It just looks like a couple of looney toons getting freaky...i mean come on.
thank you whackly,as you can see the link is bbc news(have you got this problem in the states?)and i couldn't agree with you more
although the game has an 18 certificate(same with manhunt)....there have been kids who have killed other kids in the UK,by copying the games
but i think that films are worse for violance and yet the shops are a lot more stricter with selling films to kids with an adult theme
...but it wasn't always that way
in about 1992 childs play 3 was banned because two kids in liverpool killed another kid by copying chucky(they droped a brick on the little kids head while his head was on a train track)...why computer games certificates are not taken as seriously as film certificates,i dont know....maybe it has to have a few more scandle child killings for someone to actually say.......'no,you can not buy this product as you are to young'....but most video game shops only see a way of making 40 quid
if the parents are gonna let these kids watch and play with products that are clearly marked on the case then they should take some of the blame for not giving a shit about their children(and anyone elses for that matter)
as you may or amy not know Rockstar are about to release their next video game named 'Bully'
where you play a school bully and the idea is to bully geeky kids in school(flushing their heads down toilets),there is also a school timetable you can follow if you wish....although i am really looking forward to this game,i think we can all expect mothers to complain to rockstar about the game
just one simple answer...dont buy your spoilt little brat the game in the first place.......and cut his pocket money down so that he cant buy it...he shouldn't be getting that much pocket money anyway
sorry to go on...rant over
oh yeah,whackly, i saw you come on to one of our games on battlefront on saturday,but we had changed all the rules and we was speederbike racing,and killing each other in between
i asked crystal shadow to explain the rules to you but i didn't know if you had your headphones on or not...sorry
I'm just glad that my kid will have the benefit of a parent who knows what games he is playing and who can keep the lines between reality and fantasy seperate. And I will do this, not because I am spying on my kid or intrusively keeping track of his ever move... but because I will be playing these games with him. I think this whole issue is transitional. When the generations that didn't grow up with video games are no longer raising children it won't be an issue any longer. The games don't cause kids to be violent.... the kid is either going to be or not going to be violent with or without the video game. The worst thing a video game ever did was introduce a child to a means of being violent he hadn't already considered or realized was possible. Of course reading grim's fairy tales or the bible would give him more ideas than a video game.
Of course there will always be dangerously indulgent parents.
metallicorphan - didn't those kids get out last year, with new identities and everything?
i also wanted to add that even those who really do believe that kids shouldn't play these adult games still don't bother to police it themselves. they want stores like walmart and target to require id to sell the games and they want to blame these stores for selling the game to the kids in the past. that's a bit silly... to blame the store for selling the game to underage kids.... how did that kid get to the store? where'd they get the money? whose job is it to raise these kids... walmart's? scary

You mean like the Simpsons when the family goes to Try and Save, and Bart Rips off a Bonestorm video game?
nobody is missing the point on that... it's just passe.... it's hilarious that they would raise the rating of a game for content that doesn't exist in the game... the code is there, sure, but you need a hack to unlock it... they didn't raise the sims to 18+ when the nude patch came out... nor did they up the level on doa volleyball when the nude patch came out for that... and then to act like these kids might never have seen poorly rendered fucking if it hadn't been for the GTA hack... if they went to a site to download the hack i guantee they saw ads for a fisting and beastiality site while they were there for fuck's sake... and why the hell is it ok for under 18 kids to run around killing cops and murdering hookers in stunning realism but it's somehow TOO FAR to allow them to see some badly produced cartoon fucking where they dude doesn't even take his pants off? I saw more gratuitous cartoon fucking in that episode of southpark where cartman's mom fucks the delivery man and everyone else... i guarantee those same kids saw that..nobody tried to get the rating raised on that at all... no matter what.... even if these games cause kids to kill it's still the parent's responsibility... if your kid is shooting smack in his bedroom while you and your husband argue downstairs who's fault is that? there's not video game or tv show to blame that on... so blame the drug, blame the dealer. fuck this world...i hope everyone dies on earth except me, my son, my wife, my friends, and all attractive women of breeding age in my general area... everyone else should die
