The incredibly violent Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, made by Take-Two Interactive of New York City, has caused multiple copycat killings across the country. A recent Gallup Poll found that any American teen who has played this one game is twice as likely to be engaged in an act of violence than those who have not played this one game. In this game you have sex with a prostitute and then kill her grotesquely to get your money back and win the game faster. Police officers are set on fire, shotgunned in the face, and innocent pedestrians are run over with cars.

Pardon my language, but this just pisses me off.

First off, you dont HAVE TO have sex with a hooker.
Second, you DONT have to kill her.
Third, Kiling Hookers isnt how you win the game.

You could draw the same conclusion from the old Mario games.

In Mario you run around jumping on turtles and riding dinosaurs.

Now i've never seen any study that says there was a raised attack on turtles, or any study that says anyone whos played this game is twice as likely to ride a dinosaur.

Pong doesnt make me want to play tennis. And it doesnt make me want to hit little white balls.

What about games like BF 1942? That is pretty much a sim to kill people. Actually, its the objective of the game. So why does it get off easily?

In 1992, the American Civil Liberties Union named Jack Thompson one of its ten "Censors of the Year" for daring to suggest that Time Warner rapper Ice-T's "Cop Killer" should be pulled from store shelves worldwide. That award is a badge of honor Thompson wears proudly, not only because Time Warner did what he requested but because Thompson was ten years ahead of the national curve in predicting the entertainment-inspired copycat violence we are seeing from a generation raised on violence that Hollywood says is "cool."

As much as i hate rap, A song is still art. You cant ban art. Why not put pants on Michealangilo's David for indecent exposure then? That sculpture might make kids want to run around naked.

Jack Thompson has appeared recently on a number of national television program with victims of two teenage Tennessee snipers whom police concluded trained obsessively on Grand Theft Auto to prepare for their sniping spree. Numerous others have been murdered by teens trained on this one game.

Then obviously they are f***** in teh head, because i snipe peopels heads off all the time, i dont gfo doing it in real life.


Maybe the problem isnt violence in games so much as violence and neglect in the home.

Maybe less violence would happen if kids wernt so easily accessable towards guns.


Just my thoughts, i dont expect anyone to read it word for word, but if you do, Thumbs up. ( Yes i realise i butchered the name of the sculptor, so i wont even attempt to spell it again)
