I especially like "This is 10,000 times worse than the worst thing anybody thinks Michael Jackson ever did to a little boy". Just wow. Comments? I'm too angry for words.

Well, it seems like molesting a child might be worse than making a video game, but that might just be me.

Also, what's wrong with a game boy version again? I thought the author supported taking out the realistic violence.

If the author read supreme court rulings, he or she would know that virtual child pornography is ok, so there is no chance of virtual violence being stopped.

To Mr. Christopher Byron

In regards to your article 'Give Back Take Two' recently published in the New York Post:

You can kill a cop, steal his gun, and then use it to shoot someone else. Or you can pick up a prostitute and have sex with her in the back of your stolen car, then beat her to death - or shoot her, bludgeon her, whatever you want.

Or you can not do these things. Much like real life, the recent two installments of the Grand Theft Auto series afford players the opportunity to make a great number of choices. Certainly, the option to kill police officers exists; I won't deny that. But, like real life, consequences for these actions exist as well. If you kill many people in the game, you will soon be caught and punished. What's the difference? Would you propose prior restraint in real life? To do such a thing would be quite unconstitutional, and with good reason. Our society works on a social contract, just as does the society of Grand Theft Auto. Perhaps you should persecute the games that encourage killing without ( ... )

I'm mad too, but rather than be wordy about it I think I'm just going to break some things.

Breaking stuff is always a good idea. BTW Myles sorry about Jen last night...she was quite drunk and just messing with you.

Hahahaha, yeah, I kinda figured something like that.

well written jack... i don't give a damn about video games, although i believe that all these violent games are a bit over the top

it's quite fun to read all the discussions that have been going back and forth.
