    While looking around, I found this link about the Glenn Beck show and they were talking about how GTA IV is training kids to kill each other. In the show, he gives such examples as having sex with a prostitute and then killing her.

    Link.

    What do you guys think?

    THEY LIE!


    There's no chainsaw in GTA 4, I already unlocked all the weapons.


    Also, for the hooker killing I prefer the Combat Shotgun or the Desert Eagle.

    ...I'm so not surprised...I was wondering why this hadn't already happened the day of the release. *shrugs* Whatever people and their stupid theories. "Video games make you kill people" :rolleyes: Yeah and you're an idiot.

    Glenn Beck, STFU.

    Listen to these idiots, these video games "trains these kids", they are "murder simulators".

    Have they ever played these games?

    He blames Counter Strike for V-Tech. Has he ever played Counter Strike? You basically move a mouse and learn how to get into the game. How does that teach you to do anything?

    GTA is all autoaim on PS2-3, how does that teach you to do anything?

    These people's incompetence scares me.

    EDIT:He says, "The difference between firing rates between WWII and the Korean war is in WWII it was 15%, in Korea it was 55%". Well Geee Wiz mate, might it be because many of those that were in WWII were also in Korea? Maybe? Just maybe?

    It's nothing new.

    The best part was when he said "I'm not blaming everything on videogames". I thought he actually might have some sense then. But he goes and says "It's the entire pop culture, music, movies, television....".
    What's his solution then? Banning all of that? I'd like to see him (and the morons that share his opinion) try.

    Glenn Beck is an asshole, plain and simple. And it doesn't relate in any way with this GTA4 bullshit, since on my crappy computer not even san andreas starts.

    I can agree with that statement to a point actually. Not because of violence, but more towards how ignorant our society has become. Our entire culture is to blame for the reason American Idol gets more votes than when we vote for the president of the U.S.A.

    ... or that may be because there's not voting age involved for American Idol.

    -_-

    Maybe, but I'm content to blame it on our culture.

    Die culture die. :splatter:

    Actually, yes it is. We're all about the killing of each other. Sure, we'll form temporary sides where we won't kill the other guys who are with us for a while, but when it comes down to it, we're all about the killing each other.

    Hate to break it to you, dipshit, but women like this game too. Gosh, yes, we do play violent video games! It's shocking, isn't it.

    Yeah, this guy is an over-conservative fucktard.

    I think I want this game even more now...

    Isn't that Vash's job? But back on topic, thats complete bullshit. My six year old brother is addicted to San Andreas, and he's still a loveable little boy. The only thing the game did for him was improve his vocabulary.:p

    It's time we went back to the morals and culture of the Victorian Age. People weren't violent back then.

    Oh wait...:rolleyes:

    Jack Thompson is still alive? I thought he was killed by gay frat boys. Hes like some kind of foot fungus that never goes away.

    Also thanks to this I'm going to go out and buy GTA 4 just to say screw you to Thompson and all his other fuck buddies.

    Anyone who thinks Jack Thompson is going to far is going to love this!

    In that link, Jack has had too much of a hard time from the public, so in retaliation, he sent a letter to the mother of the Exec of Take-Two!

    Didn't you hear that he tried to compare teenagers playing GTA 4 and Hiroshima as the same level of destruction?
