Maybe we can get Grand Theft Auto to computer generate a “blue-stained dress” that a cartoon Hillary can blame on a computer generated “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”?

So what we’re left with is a situation where parents and politicians weren’t concerned when the came consisted of punching hookers in the face and/or murdering them
Where have YOU been hiding? Parents and politicians have been making noise about violent video games for years and years.

How about getting upset about the liberalism that’s led to tons of teen violence, sex and pregnancy in real life?

Every kid who plays violent video games wants a real gun, sword, battle axe, and/or knife. All of the adults that I have met in metro areas who play violent video games also own guns. Most of the guns have never been fired. The adults get the guns out and just look at them, sometimes load them, and talk about them. They have never been hunting but lie and claim to have been. They sometimes secretly carry their guns as they take fantasy trips on paths in wooded areas near their homes. They talk about how they would blow the heads off intruders into their homes. An engineer and his wife, in an area that has never had a robbery, let alone murder, ritually goes through the process of loading their guns and laying them on their respective nightstands every night before they go to bed. They share and laugh as they play Grand Theft Auto. The only thing that these people are ever going to shoot is each other, their children, or you. I am more worried about these people going nuts at work than I am about some one breaking into my home. I found myself wanting to carry a gun when I visited their home for barbecues or parties. I have felt safer in bad areas of Brooklyn, Chicago, and LA. I stopped going.
We, sometimes, are forced to protect children from parents who are so irresponsible that they are dangerous and harmful to their children’s development. Violent, sexually explicit video games have no redeeming value other than to give pleasure to people who have latent psychopathic thoughts. Any parent who buys Grand Theft Auto for their children should have their children taken from them. Any adult who buys Grand Theft Auto should be forced into therapy.

Unfortunately, it’s difficult for some of us—me—to resolve our disgust for shameless political pandering (Hillary) with the conviction that the mass media, video games included, degrade our culture and invite government intervention by their deletrious effects.

Based on their history of going nuts and shooting people indiscriminately! What a dweeb! ews48: You should definitely stay away from parties and barbeques given by gunowners. These guys could snap at any second! / sarcasm

Hillary should be more upset with Oval Office oral sex.

What’s funny is, the game has a Mature rating for “Sexual Content”. The actual nudity in the game was from a patch made by someone other than Rockstar. So, it’s not like the Parents didn’t know there would be sexual content, and it’s not like Rockstar put nudity in. It’s all BS.

There are a lot of things that have no redeeming value. That includes most TV, video games in general (unless they’re learning games), junk food etc. We don’t take away kids because YOU disagree with the way the parent was raised.
The violent video game can be a cathartic experience, a way to blow steam.

It is simply impossible to ignore the link between violent games and increasing adolescent violence. As a high school school teacher I can tell you that this is not a ‘nanny-state’ issue! This is a direct assault on our kids and our culture by hollywood liberal game and film makers who then run and hide behind the skirts of the ACLU claiming ‘freedom of the press’ while they rake in millions. If there is a single issue on the planet behind which moderates and conservatives can unite, I hope it is this one!
Mitt Romney has called these games filth and HE IS RIGHT!

Somehow coming from Mitt Romney it sounds more legit. When Hillary says it, it conjures up images of Bill sitting around playing it (with himself). It is because of her husband that oral sex related diseases became prevalent at an epidemic proportions. Gosh I hope we don’t have to endure the Clintons again!!!
