ok ban the sales of M rated games, theyll get them any other way they can
(ebay or the internet for that matter). what about future murders,
carjackings and other illegal activities? what are you going to say
influenced their decisions.... video games? normal people can play M rated
video games and not hurt anyone in real life. the problem is the few people
who are crazy enough to actually do it. I might be going off on a limb but
could you say these horrible people are just not sane? if the parents arent
paying enough attention then maybe they shouldnt have kids in the first
place. if they dont notice there is something seriously wrong with them then
theyll just get arrested for doing something illegal and then they will
surely know. what do you think was to blame before the invention of violent
video games? movies... the media... i mean come on man. thats the whole
point of the law. its not legal to steal a car and shoot someone but does
that really stop these people from doing it? i saw the news the other day
about a man from texas who stole two cars here in baton rouge and had an 81
year old man hostage.... i dont think hes even played gta. the real issue is
that these crazy people shouldnt be allowed in society and i dont think
banning video games really helps anyone and it just hurts local sales of
video games. oh... on the subject of the ignorant parents, theyll buy their
kids the M rated video games which is usually the case with people under 18.
