You know what I think, I think it’s stupid that they want to ban this game. They don’t allow knees to the groin but they are fine with teenagers stabbing people in games such as Prince of Persia? This world is screwed up.

This is ridiculous. For any country to try and ban a video game is really sad in the 21st century. Just watching regular cable nowadays kids can see every kind of explosion, sex, etc. Plus, with the internet, kids can eventually get a hold of anything they want.

Columbine was a horrible event. That being said I think that comment just shoots down all possibilities of having an adult conversation about this game. I was bullied back in school and I can tell you it’s no fun. Having said that I would play this game if I had it, and still be no more near shooting any school than I have been thus far. It’s incredible how these people who are supposed to teach us and our children about wrong or right get upset when something like thioscomes along. They should understand fiction when they see it.

yeah, right, “violent” video games are “evil”…

hypocrites, then what about the violence-through-a-tube that are most movies?. Nooo, nobody attacks them, hollywood is sacred.. And what about the brainwashing the school system does to easily accomodate the future workers in a boring job?. Isnt that violence too?, mental violence?.

For what I have seen in real life, I instead think that the so called “violent games” help people deplete their violent emotions.

here’s a quick solution.
How about we force the Conadian Teachers Federation to play the game and see if it makes them more violent.
I think the Teachers and School Boards need to stay out of politics and concentrate on actual teaching.
No one wants to here their ten cents.
Their solution to difficult children is Ridilyn(might have got the spelling wrong), what the hell is that going to teach kids…. lets see, if something is wrong with you take drugs. That might explain why kids these days are so into drugs.

Games far from a columbine simulator… Overreaction for an overreactive nation.
