“games graphics stay in the childs mind”?

well if the child in question see’s images all the time, then the child has some sort of mental illness and needs therapy

these statements and one like it in the uk and in other countries around the world are promoting the hatred of games and of those who play them, we gamers are being demonised, and we in the uk especially have been called “worse than junkies” from mr Kieth Vaz MP and his fellow nutter Julien Brazzer

last week Mr Vaz said ” that children play games that let you rape women on the psp” and that games of this sort are common

i find this amazing, and so did a member of the BBFC who said in over 25 years of certifacation of games he has never let a game of that nature be published in the uk, or ever will

so i suggest sony contact a lawyer about his claims

i have been playing games for over 25 years and i had a great up bringing from my parents, they explained to me right from wrong, what is make belief and what is reality, and they took the time to explain that actions have outcomes, and that what you see on tv isnt real, or what you see done in cartoons or games are not REAL!

these 15-18 rated games in the uk or the M for mature in the us or the ultra rare AO ones DO NOT GET SOLD TO KIDS!

they get sold to adults!……………….THE PARENTS OF THE KIDS! the parents are to blame! not society,not video games, these so called parents by the games for their kids in order to have them out of their way for a few hours, so they dont need to be around their kids,same as movies which are not for kids, its a cheap way to keep the kids out of your hair!

these so called parents , are so weak willed they cave in to the kids moaning and then go to game,or gamestop or where ever they buy games and get the game little johnny wants, usually the most violent one, so they get and are somehow shocked at its content, when little johnny starts cussing and acting like a little hitler, and whats to blame? ……..the game of course!
not the lack of back bone and moral fibre from the parents to say the magic word NO!

if you as a parent buy your kids a mature rated game , just to shut your kid up, you should be fined or imprisoned, and your children taken a way from you, as you are not responsible to be PARENTS

these parents are the reason their kids go on to commit crime, murder, school shootings, and become mad suicide bombers, all because they raise the child in a home enviroment where no morals are present, no back bone is shown, and the words “you are to young”

most unbalanced and mental folk have been born that way, some get depressed with home life, or the lack of it in some places, some need to be told what to do, but parents are scared to act like parents and step up to the bar and say “NO!”

did hitler have gta when he was growing up austria?

did stalin have manhunt in russia?

NO but between them a good couple of tens of millions died, in ww2 and afterwards

but hey its ok

the press and sad case politicians might find a lost journal of hitlers where he describes his battle against the masterchief and his adventures in liberty city!

so stop blaming games from everything from terrorism, and gangs to drugs and the antichrist

people are born and raised and the parents are not doing their jobs

stop being fooled by spin and propaganda, take a look at yourselfs and they way you raise your kids ok?

Secondly, how can language be unsafe? It is just WORDS. Anyone with half a brain knows to ignore anything inappropriate and not repeat it. If your child is stupid enough to take everything they hear to heart, you shouldn’t let them watch TV or even let them out of the house, let alone play online.

Finally, “The graphics can stay in your child’s mind and they could perform things they normally wouldn’t because the influence of some games.” That is just an outright lie and there is no conclusive evidence to support it. The graphics stay in your child’s mind? What? So you mean they’re walking down the street and suddenly they see Master Chief in front of them? That’s known as being schizophrenic, not being a gamer.

As someone who has played games for over 20 years, ranging from cutesy platformers to violent shooters, I can tell you, as can the millions and millions of other gamers like me who have never felt the need to recreate anything they’ve seen in a game, that playing videogames has no impact on your behaviour in the real world. The only case in which it might is if you are already violent, maladjusted or just plain braindead to begin with.

Parents, form your own opinions. Do not believe this fearmongering hyperbole. Gaming is perfectly safe as long as your child is a well-adjusted individual who can distinguish between fantasy and reality. If they aren’t or can’t, well then that’s your fault, not the fault of a piece of software.
