Hmm. Apparently I'm now a troll. Well excuse me if trolls wish to lower gun crime. Also, how do these ratings systems work? I dont see any flashy buttons anywhere to vote for different posts. And if it's controlled by some database, how can it tell what type of post it is? I havn't met many servers with a sense of humour. (humor?)
And while we're on the subject of my views on law, I would also outlaw drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, meat; broadband would be a human right and clothes would NOT be required in public (why do we condemn countries for not allowing women to show their faces, when we're not allowed to show our genitals? Shame on America).
These developers release demos so that people can play them. This obviously means they think that the demo will encourage many people to buy the game. Therefore, the more people they get downloading demos, the more people they will have buying their game.
Which leaves me wondering why this demo was exclusive in the first place...but nvm.
Oh, and on the subject of GameSpy, stop using it! The sooner they go bankrupt, the sooner I will be able to download a free demo without paying for it.
OK. But all of your statements there are based on the first one:
I believe that it is an immoral thing to create such a violent video game
You give no reason for your belief of this. Do you really think that kids are that stupid that they will actually kill because of a video game? Do you think that the act of killing never once went through their mind before playing the game?
I personally feel that these kids are doing this because of boredom. Sure, it might not start with killing people, or shooting cars. In this sense, games like this will keep kids off the streets killing people.
From personal experience, these games are entirely seperate to these crimes. I play GTA. I play the original Doom. I play Quake III. etc. I don't ever recall killing someone, or even considering it.
If these kids are stupid enough to kill because of a video game, then stupidity is the problem.
OK. So it's the kid's fault. No wait, it was the game's fault. No wait, it was the parents fault. Oh no, wait! It was actually the community that the parents lived in!
How long can we keep passing the buck?
When people shoot cars, it's thir fault, full stop.
Well, first post ever by me. I'm not sure if I can use html tags (does this work?), or those funny weird forum tag things (does [i]this[/i] work?). Anyway...
Democracy, shmemocracy. Make me your leader!
Broadband as a human right!
Extensive taxing on:
M$!
RIAA!
OK, I assume that you nerds don't like those two either. Im just trying to make some allies in my first post:/
Tobacco!
Alcohol!
In fact, lets just made those last 2 illegal.
Well, that's about it on my stance. Oh, throw in some communism too. Go nuts.
Oh, and i just saw that drop-down list under this box.:/

That's my view, take it or leave it
I am not about to launch an anti-gun tirade
Bah. Personally, I think that no guns would definitely mean no gun crime.

Ahh Doom. You can keep your pantsy realistic 3d models thankyou-very-much, I prefer my 2D floating monster shapes in square rooms.
Oh, and I just want to see what this "extrans" thing is.<i> hello</i>
