Members RSBro Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 Man, I'm surprised nobody started a thread about Mr. Hillary Clinton and her oppression of Rockstar's hit game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas". I thought liberals were all for porn/the naked human body as "art", as long as it was classified as such? Way I understand it, the alleged "content" was only available in the PC version a la` a 3rd-party download and add-in. I'm surprised not many people even know why this whole thing was a big deal. We went out yesterday looking for a copy and the people were bitching about it, the salesguys, and were like "Yeah man, we didn't even know why. Managment just called and said take all the copies off the shelves". Then I explained why and they just had blank looks on their faces. I mean libs were all OVER garbage like "Farenheit 9/11" and "Bowling for Columbine". Where were they on this issue of "free speech"? Hmmm???? And then also the wife of those cops who were shot by that kid out of Cali I think it was, who claimed "temporary derangement" or whatever that is, because of GTA. She's suing Rockstar, Sony, Microsoft, the retailers that stock it, and certain computer manufacturers because it plays on their systems. The kid was 17 at the time. Who gave him the $60 to buy it, and much less allowed it at the same time?? Yep, everyone else's BUT the parent's responsibility, of course...

I figured the forum was almost operating at about 50% of musical-related posts, so just thought I'd throw this in! Also, it's hardly about that... All I hear about is "free speech" and the like and how the big bad conservative gov't. hates us all. Being here is like watching CNN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the available content was in the PS2 and Xbox versions as well. It's now rated Adults Only, the game is NOT banned.

And I realize the game isn't banned, but the whole idea behind this thing is so contrary it makes me kinda laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally haven't really cared for the 5's I've played, but then again, I'm not a big fan of 5vers. I like a wider neck. They sound like Rics, but I'll be honest, I don't recall how 'tight' the B was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sixgun77 Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 What's a neo conservative? I consider my self a conservative when it somes to social issues most of the time. I'm not at all religious or even spiritual. I think laws should be made by communities and local governments and despise federal government. I hate having my own safety forced on me(helmets and seat belts). I'm pro gun, pro choice, and anti PC. Oh, I like warm weather and lots of really low end, while I hate cold weather and small speakers that put treble in a bass guitar's tone. Where the hell does all that put me in the politico-spectrum?

Members fretless Posted July 28, 2005 Members Share Posted July 28, 2005 Originally posted by Rachel Sampson The point is that parents need to know the content of the video games their children are playing. If there are secret sex games in there, I think it should be pulled from the shelves (I bet you guys are really surprised about that one) until it is labelled as what it truly is. GO HILLARY There is not a secret game , you need to download a hack first PC only btw , now there is tons of gang warfare drug dealing and cop killing , so I agree it's not for kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's okay for Junior to beat up hookers and pimps, kill cops and innocent bystanders, pummel them on the ground or just go on a car rampage and run everyone over but people get pissy when the character gets a little? That sounds like bad parenting right there. If a parent didn't realize that the GTA series was not meant for younger kids, they really should re-examine themselves. It's already labeled as a mature game. I think the rating should stand. If you don't get the idea that it's not a kids game from realistic depictions of violence, drug use, drug references, foul language, etc. etc. then it's your own stupidity.
