'Reservoir Dogs' game banned, I am pissed

[onearmedbandit]

I kinda figured you wouldn't be a Port Royal man OAB.

Style baby, it's all about style.

[onearmedbandit]

No I don't, and i never said i did.

Wasn't aimed at you specifically. But there are those that want to.

By your logic a game about fiddling with kiddies wouldn't encourage any one to actually go out and do that.....

Anyone who is going to go and commit those crimes doesn't need a game to encourage them. It might act as a catalyst, but the seed was already there. And with those people anything could be a catalyst. Like the pre-school up the road.

Having said that your idea of banning reality tv does have it's merits......

We agree on that much at least.

Who here has ever muttered the words or thought to themselves, 'I'd kill that cu#t'? I dear say a high percentage, maybe even you spudchucka?

Who here has ever muttered the words or thought to themselves, 'I'd rape that woman or child'? I hope no-one.

There is a difference spudchucka.

That's a nice analogy. Wish I'd thought of it.

Only too those whose vision is already blurred. See, I can tell quite easily the difference between pushing a button on my mouse to 'fire' a gun at someone, and actually obtaining a weapon in real life and shooting at people from my car.

Unless you're like the cretin who dropped a boulder on the car and killed the driver.
He wanted to be 'famous'. When he told his equally cretinous mates, he said he was 'ruthless'.
I'd be happy to see him a withered old man rotting in a cell.
If we can have restrictions based on the lowest common denominator for driving, why shouldn't we have the same for entertainment?

I'd like to see how 'ruthless' he'd be in a locked room with the rest of Chris Curries rugby squad.

Video games have made permanent impressions in my mind,

As a child i loved playing Frogger and to this day i still go out dodgeing traffic, That game has obviously effected others as well because they are constantly trying to run me down.

If video games affect people so much then how come half of Gen X weren't all running around in dark rooms munching pills and listening to repetitive music...?

I heard much the same sentiments about comics when I was a kid as I'm hearing now from those oppposing this game PC games. I've heard much the same when rock 'n' roll first became popular. In the sixties flower power was the evil philosophy of its day. Now it's PC games. Hell there are some people who even advocate that motocycles lead to anti social behavour. By far the majority of us grow out of our youth and move on to other things. Some of us come back but we are no worse for it. A PC game is nothing more than one of two things................you either win or lose. This is the world that we all live in.....................lets not turn this game into something that it is not.

A lot of you are missing the point. Most of the people on here would be considered moral and socially conscieous people. Not everyone is the same. There are lots of people, especially those who may suffer a mental disease that struggle to distinguish the difference between fantasy and reality.

Have you not noticed how badly violence is on the rise here? I read about 3 separate murders in todays paper! You cant risk arguing with anyone in the public now days for fear of being stabbed or the like. (sounds similar to home really). What is the next step...people carry personal fire arms.

How can you miss the fact that de-sensitising of our generations fo violence etc. is directly related to the activities that they are involved with. It isn't only adults that play the games, it is impressionable kids who struggle to dis-associate fantasy and reality.

I am happy to let someone live their live how they want, but when their fantasy becomes my reality, that is when i get pissed.

I am glad that such a sadistic and evil game has been banned. I dont want to see this beautiful country follow down the path of my home land of South Africa.

Columbine was a product of the Second Ammendment: the right to bear arms. The perpertarators had social problems a lot more serious than playing violent PC games..................serioulsy.

And they practised playing quake and doom. NOthing even remotely close to reservoire dogs.
