I think it's a great idea, if just for the first bunch of immature posts in this thread.

I also don't get why people have to throw a tantrum because someone wants to have a serious discussion about video games.
Noone said they will actually go ahead and try to ban things, so far they want to discuss and think about violence in video games.

The more video gamers talk about killing and mutilating red cross members over this, the more I'm convinced that the discussion is necessary.

For many years videogamers have felt like outcasts and been seen as nerds, now that we get public attention, for the good or the bad, the first course of action seems to be to prove to the general public that we love our "perversions" and really are a bunch of freaks...?!?

I for one could certainly do without attention-grabbing missions and mutilations in video games, doesn't mean I think they should be banned but at some point it may be valid to ask whether the constant tearing down of moral borders is actually a good thing.

And just because the world is a bad place, there's no reason to celebrate that.
