GTA and Rating of Video Games

Gamer writes "There is an interesting debate on Grand Theft Auto and rating of computer games going on. It started with Lawmeme's Paul Szynol wants 'distribution control so that minors don't get access to inappropriate material'. Greplaw's Mikael Pawlo has a reply saying 'Computer games are art and should be dealt with accordingly, without any references to the prohibition tactics of the 1980:ies.' Would the world not be a better place without the violence in GTA? I don't understand Pawlo's art argument, although I love gaming. I agree with Paul Szynol. Kids should not get violent games." I really don't have a problem with regulating violent games- its when the government tries to outlaw them that I have a problem.

Thanks for ruining my morning with your idiocy.

Bowling was so full of sh*t.

Talk about a hypocrit to the nth degree. That guy would set up "facts" one moment, and then rip them all down the next moment, and then go back to pretending the original "facts" were true. Granted, it was FUNNY, but none of the "facts" in that movie were even remotely true, and a lot of the blame (Ie. Returning spent bullets to K-Mart??! YAH OKAY, GOOD CALL THERE BUDDY. WHY NOT GO PROTEST FORD TO RECALL ALL THEIR CARS SO PEOPLE CANT DRINK AND DRIVE - Moron.)
