He is talking about stuff like the GTA scandal and M rated games n ****. I really don't care because no matter what I will be able to get my hands on anything regardless... (aka parents and friends and brother(s) who are over the age of 18 that dont care)

Video game rating are bull****.
So a kid gets GTA San andreas and see some pixelated titties
WHO THE **** CARES???
if the kid REALLY cared about seeing offensive material, they would not need to look far.
To see violent material:
www.cnn.com
or watch any news station that coveres curent events. It's ok to show real people getting shot on TV, but not in a video game? I dont understand. not that im saying there shouldnt be portrayal of violence on TV, but that censoring video games in pointless
to see pornographic material
www.google.com, search "boobies"

you cant stop a kid from seeing things he wants to see. plus, i think it was tried before, because i remember seeing a video about censorship back in the 30's, but it was hard to understand because the narration was in german.

bottom line is, video games are gay, politicians who hate video games are gay, and ryan seacrest is gay.

the end.

I don't like your choices, but here are my 2 cents. Politicians prey on uniformed, lazy parents, who when it suites them want the govenment to regulate what their kids do.

Being a parent of 3, and an avid gamer, i have just one thing to say to the parents giving these bozos credibility...

"BE A FREAKIN PARENT, IT'S YOUR JOB, NOT THE GOVERNMENTS"

...and to the politicians...

"VIDEO GAMES DON'T HARM PEOPLE, PEOPLE HARM PEOPLE"

I don't need to explain to my son that Halo is science fiction and not real, and that shooting someone is wrong, and video games are entertainment...you know why? Becasue I know what he plays, when he plays, and I explain why he can't play certain games until he is older, and low and behold, he hasn't shot anyone in school.

I'm the first one in any vote I can get my hands on to not just vote, but speek my mind. And a side note to our members, you should all take the time to write to your state and city officials regarding this matter, in a well thought out and intelegent fashion that I know gamers can do.

Part of the problem is changing the stereotype of the video gamer himself, you guys aren't stupid, right? :)

what i don't get is how they complain that kids can see violence in video games even when a little kid can turn on his TV and see a movie with sex and people killing each other...

in defense of the TV they say you have to buy cable....but don't we also have to buy video games? and the last time i checked, a 10 year old can't buy a M rated game by himself.

PWAHAHAHAHA

My father was the one that got me into gaming. I was playing games like Duke Nukem, Blood, Quake, etc. when I was a wee little child. Never had to remind me not to go out and shoot people.

And all this bull**** about videogames making people irritable and aggressive... pffft.. Only when you lose, and I never lose. :cool: But yeah, I'm a calm person. :mad:

hahahahahaha, so pretty much u cant play Halo, nor GTA. hahahaha. sORRY but shes doing a good job as a parent tho.


anyways the ratings are okay, as Tony said it is the parents obligation to enforce most of the "laws" to ratings. Ratings are good, i also rate GTA "A", and yeah scandal, shmandal no one really looks out for ratings because people just dont care. w.e Point is ratings are good, people are bad, and Jackyboys mom did a good job.
