God I'm sick of this mindless issue. There are far more important things the democrats could be pressing on about, like oh I don't know the war, Rove's ALLEGED (see, I'm fair) treasonous acts, the deficit, etc etc etc. But instead we have this idiot Hillary trying her best to act like a republican.
Where was Hillary Clinton on Mortal Kombat? Where was Hillary Clinton on GTA3? She wasn't thinking about running back then. Before these idiots started talking about this MOD I had never heard of it. The Sims has similar stuff hidden in it, as do many other simulation games. Why aren't they trying to ban those as well? Because GTA is the current scapegoat. The pattern is quite easy to follow. In the 40's and 50's it was comic books, which some how warped the minds of the youth (and apparently led to Vietnam). In the 60's it was Elvis. In the 80's it was metal music, which once again somehow was said to destroy the minds of the youth, who grew up to create the internet and Y2K. In the 90's it was gangsta rap. In the early 21st century it was Harry Potter and Eminem, and now GTA is the "new" kid on the block.
Until parents start parenting and stop demanding that the government raise their kids there will always be school violence and shootings. Currently there is no scientific evidence anywhere that proves that games "make" children shoot people or attack people with bats. GTA:SA has sold more than 12 million copies since October. If these "activists" were correct, there should be a freaking army of hoe slapping, plane hijacking, gang banging 13 and 14 year olds out there destroying cities right now. But where is this army? It only exsists in the minds of opportunist politicians and pathetic parents.
