Some Thoughts I'd Like to Share...

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Some of these come from a topic at Revora but they're good thoughts... at least I think so anyway.

 

But anyways, I know this is offtopic but it does sort of deal with banning of games. The people in my city are starting to bitch about the extreme violence in games just hit the store like this one game 25 to Life, most cops here are offended my the major cop killing happens in the game and many others(GTA series, The Getaway, and many others). People are also are pissed off by how young teens or younger kids are obtaining these games and so called learning how to hate the police. One of the Police officers here quoted,"These games that are being sold to the public are influencing the people to dislike the law and hating the police that enfforce it, I believe the ones who create these influencing tools should spend life in prison". Since this is becoming more major the Govorner of State of my state are trying to get a bill passed that closes down any stores or arrest people that sell these crimnal tools(extreme violent games). Sorry if it sounded like I was saying it but that is what I got out of my local Newpaper .

 

I think this is BS, because if they remove those certain games then they have to remove certain movies as well and everything else that is "Violent Tools". I wish people were not so idoitic and look at themselfs because we are born violent there is nothing we can do about it. But what do you Guys and Gals think.

 

Meh. It's just more people who don't understand the concept of free expression. If I want to make a violent game, it's perfectly legal to do so. What people do afterwards is none of my concern. Besides, if anyone takes that much influence from any media such as games or movies, he has a problem already. Also, it's not my fault younger kids are getting them these days. We lack something called parents with the grapes to tell their ****in' kids NO.

 

Yes I agree these parents need to go back to parenting school and learn how to get their heads out of their asses.

 

Parents are the source of the problems concerning media like games, movies, television and music. The parents don't step in and say no when they know they should. Parents need to establish a sense of right and wrong in today's generation so the kids can distinguish between fantasy and reality to avoid issues such as these. Parents these days just use video games and television as babysitters without being vividly aware of the adverse side effects that they're causing until it's too late, in which case, they blame Vice City and San Andreas for their own shortcomings.

 

When I was that young, my parents wouldn't let me near it. Now I have tons of the stuff since they know I understand what's going on and what is and is not acceptable in daily life.

 

In short, the parents should do some goddamn parenting for a change and get these kids on the right track in life.

 

I agree, if these parents step in more often we would be having these angery mobs trying to ban games.

 

Nah, doubtfully. The fire smolders indefinitely. Special interest groups hellbent on their own agenda add to issues concerning the media. If dried up housewives would get a goddamn life instead of sitting at home finding things to bitch endlessly about, we'd have fewer censorship issues with which to contend.

 

I'm tired of censorship and the restrictions it sets in place and it seems to be getting worse with every new generation of stuckup yuppie cocksuckers. If you do anything they don't like, they crusade against it... and it's almost always for the children. I'm all for keeping certain materials away from young children but DO NOT keep it out of my hands. The goal of these people is not to keep it away from children but to outlaw it entirely, which has never worked at any point in history. Case in point: the Prohibition Period in the 1920s and 1930s... you see how well that worked.

 

Besides, if you keep children away from all 'indecent' material, they'll grow up with a false sense of reality which is much more harmful than a fart joke or a violent game. The parents need to step in and teach they're children the difference between right and wrong, when certain things are appropriate, etc.

something id like to toss out --- Games that sell are games that kids WANT to play, they are doing something in the game that is fun to them for wahtever reason. why dont religious games sell well, for example? Most kids couldnt be bothered with religious spouting. why do cop killing games sell? cause a lot of kids seem to think thats cool. me, i find such games utter horse****, but then, i had a half ass decent upbringing, i was taught from an early age who to -- and not to -- respect. I may not of agreed with EVERY thing my parents said but i had to respect it , till i was old enough to get it on my own.

 

What im trying to say is, its more a flaw of society than anything else, that we not only have such games, but that kids find such **** cool, i would think. The parents arent taking responsibility for thier kids, teaching them and so forth. tthey expect the schools and so on to do thier job for them, which is uttere crap. society aint helpin either the parents or the kids much either. I dunno, maybe its different down in the cities, but from my standpiont, ive ALWAYS been treated with the utmost respect by the RCMP, and ive always returned it.

I just buy games I like. Played GTA, I really don't pay attention to who I shoot, I just shoot. I would rather play CoD 2 or something.
