Grand Theft Auto, game for lowlifes?

Question

I watched a report on CNN for 20 minutes, and they were talking about how KIDS play this for hours. On the other hand, they get hooked! How do they get hooked on it!? All it is, is, s*x, drugs, and massive murdering! The news reoporter said you can have s*x with a woman and slice her with a CHAIN SAW! I was sick to my stomach when i heard that! Why would they allow this nonsince!

Answer 1

Playing video games, watching tv and movies, and music videos is a poor excuse to blame someone's troubles for. Although it might influence them a little, really, all in all, the person themselves are responsible for their own actions. There are a lot of other factors not mentioned, like bad parenting, school bullying, having little to no friends, mental disorder and more.

When I play the game, I don't take it seriously. I mean, parents should tell the kids in the beginning, "this isn't real". It really is a fun game, even if it's shovenistic. But I know that the real world isn't like this.

Answer 2

i play it and im not bad x)

Answer 3

The game is rather strange and violent. . . but I would have to say that parents should not be allowing their childrent to play it, because for one you have to be 18 to purchase GTA games. . . As for the adults. . . ummmm. . .  they are big kids now and should be able to make rational decisions about what they fill their brains with :)  It is a mature game, kind of like a mature dvd would usually be pornography. . . imo, if parents are allowing their children to even look at a mature themed anything and then complaining about it. . .they need to be fined and arrested for contributing to the delinquency of a minor :)

Edit:  Good one David. . . I've played a lot of games also, and never acted out in the real world with the fantasy of what we are playing, lol :)

Answer 4

And this has what to do with conservation?!?

Answer 5

A game is a Game its not real there is no reason to blame a game for someone elses actions. The parents of these kids playing are responsible but most parents will buy there kid a video game and never know wat it was about. GTA is a great game and i can have hours of fun on it ive played all the GTA games and i turned out just fine, ive never done drugs or killed anyone yet.
