Huh, I wonder why they're not advocating less biased and more accurate news in newspapers (and more on the internet) and television so young people will even remotely care about those oldsters' concerns?
Oh, yeah, we've all had this conversation. The desire is to legislate all childhood activities because the old folks don't trust or understand new-fangled shinies. Maybe if they started emulating the churches using Halo to draw the crowds, they would inadvertently witness how far-off their claims are.
I still don't see how there is clear evidence of a link between violent videogames and gang activity. Oh, wait, I know--the presence of video games is all that's needed to incriminate them in any violent crime committed by violent criminals in violent gang willing to ice all the cops before they ever played GTA.
Of course it's obvious to all of "them" that the mere existence of these infernal gaming machines is a threat to society and the youth. Just like, despite the impossibility, GTA is so obviously the tool to teach real-life violence and skills (such as shooting and screeching driving).

Posted 07/24/08 at 11:21am lumi: their own. Looks like they're arguing with ghosts...
Posted 07/24/08 at 11:20am lumi: Ooh, and to prove the validity of their arguments, they've deleted all the comments from the gamers/outsiders, and just left
Posted 07/24/08 at 11:20am lumi: Wow...there's worse invective and vitriol on that first feminist site's comments than in most gaming forums I've read...
Posted 07/24/08 at 11:19am SimonBob: You guys can read the feminist blogs? One of 'em has over 1400 comments -- my browser locks up when I try to load the page!
Posted 07/24/08 at 10:49am M. Carusi: That's probably the message to describe hardcore feminism in general. :P
Posted 07/24/08 at 10:35am Tom90deg: Meh, it seems like most of the comments are "I'm right, and it you don't agree with me, you're a girl-hating masonogystic pig!"
Posted 07/24/08 at 10:30am M. Carusi: Those comment walls on the feminist blogs complaining about FP are generating some hilarious content.
Posted 07/24/08 at 08:48am E. Zachary Knight: @ lunatic, What you see is what you get. Once a comment gets pushed off it is gone forever.

Posted 07/23/08 at 08:05pm LuNaTiC: is there a way to view old shouts? sorry if its a noob question.
Posted 07/23/08 at 07:07pm gamepolitics: momma didn't raise no sock puppet
Posted 07/23/08 at 06:15pm Rodrigo Ybáñez García: Jack is a repressed man. Don´t be surprised...
Posted 07/23/08 at 06:07pm GryphonOsiris: So Jack admitted paying for gay porn... all I can say is wow... just wow...
Posted 07/23/08 at 05:09pm lumi: to the case, and he's been on 60 minutes once!
Posted 07/23/08 at 05:09pm lumi: GP, you should mention you'll be filing a legal injunction against him if he doesn't comply. Phoenix Wright will be attached
