Morons.



I am sick of this. Video games are just some safety net the States use to fall into every time something violent happens in their country.



It's not the video games' fault... IT'S THE COUNTRY'S FAULT!



They just can't admit that their ridiculous amount of dumb, under-educated, patriotism-ridden, poverty-dwelling, religion-thumping, F*CKED up people are to blame for the stupid amount violence rocking the country.



"Gotta put the blame SOMEwhere, let's put it on something that can easily be explained with small words like VIDEO GAMES!"



The States have some major problems, and they stem NOT from video interactivity, but from the lack of true, RESPONSIBLE guidance from teachers, parents, government, and most of all TELEVISION MEDIA.



And the amount of people that just fall back onto religion when something bad happens is just INSANE! And EVERY one of them are hypocrites!



"Ooohh... WHY GOD did you let them invent a game that taught my son how to mow down an entire school yard of toddlers and puppies?!" And then: "Please God, save my son from his evil ways!"



Don't blame video games for your children and their stupid mistakes. Blame yourselves for not having any values or structure. Blame the parents. It's all their fault.



Hm. I wonder if I'll get any back-lash for this...

I love how people say the blame for violent acts is on no one but the person doing them, then they always seem to go and blame the parents...or in this odd case a country! Leave the blame on the person doing the acts, it hasn't got anything to do with the parents.



On topic though, I really hope CTA gives back Rockstar their advertising money then. It's a simple advertisement with nothing violent or offensive on it, you can see worse things in a magazine. Plus pulling it over Fox News complaining doesn't seem to make much sense either...

I live in the U.S. and don't think like this so no, I am not a hypocrite. I do not think games are to blame but I do believe that 99% of wars in the world have to do with disagreements on religion. Whats mostly to blame is a lot of parents don't raise their children right. The children are mistreated or need some sort of attention that the parents don't recognize. TV is not to blame. There are a lot of things on tv that talk about how people can support there community and they talk about events in the community that are fun and helpful. Yeah so there is some explicit programming but that falls back on the parent to keep the children away from that until they are old enough to understand life's consequences more. I hate when people talk about the U.S. without really knowing what they are talking about. Have you lived here? Out of millions upon millions of people here, there are going to be some bad apples. It is like this everywhere even probably were you live, you just may not hear about it.

Woah. I never bashed religion. I have absolutely no problem with religion.



I have a problem with people that blame bad things on their higher power, therefore not taking any responsiblity for their actions, and then turn around and ask said higher power for guidance and forgiveness.



Being an atheist, I have no opinion either way on the subject. But I have serious problems with people that think religion is there to be used as a crutch.



I hope I cleared that up.



And ChuckingRocks, no, I've never lived in the U.S. and I never will. I HAVE however spent quite a bit of time there, and I stand by what I've said.



As you've stated, I was right about the parents. And I tend to agree that is their responsibility to raise their children to know the simple difference between right and wrong.



If you feel you are unable to do so, abort.

Fox News...

"PlayStation Pornable"

"SexBox 360"

"Mass Effect = Porn Game"



Fox "News" just can't be taken serious.

that's why I switch back to CNN Headline News.
