The GTA IV Debate

Sorry for the stutering in this video, I did my best to edit it out. Anyways, I'm sick of all these news reports banging on about GTA4, therefore I made this video with some intelligent views over violence in videogames, and how Parent SHOLD revolve the issue with their kids rather than banning stuff. The ESRB and PEGI is there for a reason, keep your eyes pealed to them and what your Kids are playing...

The game should be banned. 2:52 If child pornography suddenly got legal, would you think that it's ok as long the person is 18. I mean, people need to think for them selfes and not mean something is ok just becous everyone else does. The game is filled with filth and evil.

May I ask you a little question? Have you actually played and experienced this game? Or are you making an argument without any experience about the game. Unless you have played the game, you really don't have an argument to make, it would be like me dismissing a politician when I haven't even voted. In other words, your statement is pointless unless you've played the game. I've played a small amount of the game, and it's not a very good game anyway, so who cares...?

[killbill402]

I have played it a little. Did you know it's impossible to complete the game without killing any cops.

[ianwagj]

true, then again the Cops in the game are as corrupted as every other character in the game. Shock horror there's a such thing as corrupted cops out there, it's a sick sad world out there.

Ok, the GTA series started in 1997.

Only five real-life murders were commited in 13 years because of GTA.

Wake up, you stupid ass-protest parents!

IT'S NOT THE GAMES FAULT!

@ViccieB1993 guess what i was born in the same year as rockstar made the gta series in 1997,and i still play those games but those games dont affect me at all,i like those games becuz they fun

[gruntlover2]

@killbill402 no it shouldnt be banned and child porn should be legal

[shootfirsttalklater4]

@ianwagj i know right i bump into their car and BOOM im busted

[JB24971]

@JustinWar You're totally right. One of my friends is almost 14 and is a frequent CoD player. He also doesn't go around killing people with an M16 because he KNOWS you can only do that in the virtual world and NOT in real life.

[JB24971]

@killbill402 If an 18 year old plays the game, he or she has the sense not to do it in real life. A 5 year old will see what happens and doesn't know if it's right or wrong. The people that are allowed to play the game do have that sense of responsibility. Like you said people need to think for themselves and think if they can just do what happens in a game.

Ur are completely right except for th very few occasions of kids who r way above th average maturity level for that age. I myself am 13 and hav been told I hav th maturity of an 18 yearold so I shod be abl to play GTA IV. My parents aren't letting me get it (which is probably what they should do) but I know for a fact that I can handle it

[BRm2008]

i agree. parents are weak as piss and should have thier kids taken away untill they shape up.

[BRm2008]

more games are ban here than other countrys i would wager.

[Thesamdeman22]

I totally disagree with you it's up to the parent yes but, people are generally quite descent, how often do u see someone shooting or killing someone else in public ? It really never (a couple of times a year ) happens. it depends on the child and his or her maturity wether or not they should have games over their age.
