Rockstar Investigated Over GTA - Vice City

Jubii writes "Seems the State of Florida is about to investigate Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for possibly violating state hate crime laws. This comes right after Rockstar and Take-Two issued an apology and a promise to remove offensive dialog found in the game. This could cause significant changes for 'mature' games in the future." Since Rockstar has already apologized and pledged to update the game, is it just me, or is the state of Florida only looking to line its pockets with some best-selling game profits? Update: 12/12 00:19 GMT by S : Haitian community leaders aren't satisfied either, saying "the manufacturer's pledge to change future editions did not solve the problem with games on store shelves now."

i wish more people just watched southpark and shutted the hell up.

I wish more people just watched their Kindergarten teacher tell them that 'shutted' is not a word.

Then wouldn't that make Islam illegal? After all, some portions of the Koran say that those that follow Allah to kill all Jews?

You see, one should not be punished for what they THINK, they should be punished for what they do.

Lasty, don't forget. Laws like these could be turned around to come after you.

surat number 29, verse 29, "fight against those who believe not in Allah; nor in the last day, nor forbid that which have been forbidden by Allah and his messenger Mohammed; and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth, Islam, among the people of the scripture.

Really? My beef is people that ignored their teacher telling them not to randomly capitalize words and to use double quotes around quoted text.
