OH this is bad very bad...

Hello every today I bought the pc gamer mag and guess what it made me worried!

On page 20-22 it mentions "politians/MPs" (not the millarty police stupid) trying to take away or fun! what is this fun you may ask? VIOLENCE!!!

ok i agree with them about some times unapproite things happen in games eg: Bully there thinking about banning outright some how i agree with them... my friends how played said it was: CRAP

There thinking about censoring words... why's that? the gaming industry already has a good censoring system that works.

also some game with "cartoon violence" witch have 18+ or adults only should be raised!

also people are trying to ban san andreas becuase of the "hotcoffe" mod, this mod readds the sex option in san andreas when it was removed? it's mod for god sake you add or remove when ever you like!


people in the US aren't safe eheiter...infact their banning it outright

and also the MP'S and Politians are trying to asstioate a virus with gaming! they give a thumbs for this idea...i put a finger up to this crap!

so basicly their saying were all stupid and we cant make are own choices i find this a offence!!!

Absolutely Abokasee, you make some very good and disturbing points here. Of course, I, as a player of computer games, am biased, but these politicians really need to worry about more pressing issues rather than gaming.

As for the violence, it is really up to the parents to monitor their children’s' gaming habits. My parents do. They really don’t like me playing computer games at all, but they strictly forbade me from playing the Grand Theft Auto series after seeing the media hype about San Andreas (I had Vice City myself, but my parents really didn't see a difference ). My mom still gets uneasy when she sees me playing Battlefield 2. And I am 17 years old, turning 18 in 2 1/2 months. Still, I accept, and to a certain degree, agree with my parents’ limitations; after all, I am living in their house, eating their food, and using their money to buy my games. Besides, I know that I would myself get uneasy if I had kids playing certain games on the market. But once one reaches their teen years, they should definitely know what is right and wrong, and should have more sense than to idiotically mimic what they see on TV or play on their video games. It’s funny, there are all these studies showing how violent video games or TV shows are linked to aggression in kids, but there are also studies which show that kids who are actually monitored by their parents as well as those who play or watch with their parents are normal. Seems to me that the more important variable is parental involvement…

Anyway, great thread once again, Abokasee.

Good point. If you wait until your kids are in their teen years to worry about this stuff you're too late.

Yeah, I agree. Put a finger to this crap. If you're too responsible to reign in your kids, you deserve to raise kids who's brains are filled with smut and violence. This is one of the few things I know H Clinton cares about, but it's not like the GOP can always be trusted with this kinda stuff either. It's ridiculous.
