i'm getting there. people can rarely force me to do something i dont want to do or make me change my ways, but this is largely because i'm not public schooled full time; i never grew up having to do that so i don't.

but if i may say myself i'm incredibly shallow and value public grace over persona power.

hey wimp!.. (he then punched my kidney, sad how do you like that, and i started laughing even thought i couldnt breathe .. im horrible)

hah, someone tried that on me once, locked his wrist kicked out his heel from under him and had him pinned and waited for someone to notice. in hte meantime he was screaming bloody murder.

But, really, the problem is with the parents who LET their kids play GTASA. or VC. ESRB is there for a reason, very few stores give a second glance unless it's very off (a 5 year old buying F.E.A.R. for instance).

it's all old arguments tho. it's all been said, people will be offended by almost everything and will try to gain from their own errors by being ignorant that it was their fault.

alright, iread the first few pages and skimmed the lawyer and comic books interviews.... but where im coming from is straight from what ive always believed.

Video Games are video games, nothing more. They are for pure enjoyment of one's self and to experience "escapism." Personally, when i play a video game (GTA, doesnt matter, ANY game), i forget about all the other pressing matters going on around me, It keeps my mind off the corrupted world around me

... anyways....

GTA is a GAME, just as much as FOOTBALL is a GAME. Last time i checked, football doesnt exactly teach me to tackle the passerbys on the side-walk or to sack the opposing candidate for president. Same goes for GTA, How could it possibly TEACH you too kill? It does not show you how to operate a firearm or how to drive a car for the benefit of running over people on the side-walk. In fact, most if not all missions in all the GTA games... Arent you killing CRIMINALS? I dont see any missions like "Kill the pope!"

And it does teach you how to become a criminal. It doesn't teach you how to fire and reload a gun, but the behaviour in general. You know - go out on the street, steal some car, run people over, or try to become a member of a gang... That's what I'm talking about.

I dont look at it that way. It doesn't teach you this either.... Think of it this way... Ever watch a video on drug abuse and meth? Ever work at a convenience store? well, what im getting at, is that these things teach you what meth is made of, not how to make meth. Follow?

But it is obvious that today's society is becoming ignorant so much that they relate video games to murdering....

If your kid has the intelligence - or the lack of - to murder people triggered by playing video games, there has been some obvious problems in the parental discipline and lessons department. I would elaborate more myself but its a waste of time, when u should know what im talking about already....

Meh, i dunno what else to say, it pisses me off at how society is run by the scum and retards of the nation(s).....

------The lawyer's arguement is a crock of bullshit -----
He dodges every question with a seemingly personal grunge against the GTA games. He didnt even say the percentage he thought... Man, this lawyer is bullshit, im not even going to go into details.
