Did he ever believe he could take down something so widespread and popular? What is he on?
Finally one of these games are evil types has been told where to get off. Most rational people can make a distinction between what is in a game and what is real life. And it is up to them whether they buy a game, not some do-gooder idiot lawyer who wouldn't know rationality if it hit him in the face, stole his car, ran him over and stole his money [/rant]

thank goodness for that, if there is one kind of person i really dislike, it's useless complainers
I think this is massly hypocritical, if you'd heard some of the absolute garbage that came out of his mouth based on his belief structure (christianity) and then put a spin on it , lets say turned him into a muslim, the guy would have been spending time in guantanamo bay.
He does have a point on some issues, I mean I sat there whilst my brother in law let his 7 year old play GTA 4. I don't think the issue is the violence in these games I think the issue is that some, not all, think that computer games are "childish", and therefore its fine for them to ignore the age ratings on them, I think the issues are based on the premise that most parents in this country are scally's who drag there kids up and anything that keeps them entertained whilst there smoking crack and hitting up the dole office is a blessing, even if it is being a "G" in an 18 rated game.
Sorry I think I got my period
Meh, glad he's off the streets though

U can have games that are blatently graphic, sadistic, terrorizing, anti-feminist, anti-gay, anti-capitalism, bad language, neo-facist, abusive - whatever. And I personally think if there`s a market out there for it, games companies should be allowed to produce them, to an extent.
What bakes my balls is people looking to get things like that banned, when they`d obviously be rated 18+ and in such cases the `kids` shouldn`t have them. There`s all kinds of arguements either way, but what it boils down to is that the parents dont really care what their kids do and would rather it not be out there for ANY1 to purchase.
I`m against censorship - full stop. I`m 2000% for responsibility.
