Banning this game won't solve anything. It's just hysteria whipped up by the meedja.
I remember when the Americans wanted "Catcher in the rye" banned, (Fuck knows why, I've read it & there's more scary stuff in the "Wasp factory") simply because after someone had committed murder they said in their defence that they had read the book!!! How similar does that sound to this case then Confused

It's the same with music too. A record released by Marilyn Manson doesn't mean you have an excuse to kill people, being in the Army & following orders given by a murderer (Oops sorry politician!) does however.
Always thought it was strange that.......Give a man a gun & tell him to shoot someone & it's ok, in fact he'll probably get a bloody medal for it!....let him do it of his own volitition & it's murder......how fucked up is that!
It's a strange ol' world we live in that's for sure.
I mean how is that a president can get impeached for a stain on a dress but another can tell lie after lie to the whole world & get away with it, for fecks sake he wasn't even elected by his own country!!! Sorry I'm digressing, but these are the sort of press B/S stories that we are fed to hide the real stories around the world folks.

Ive been watching violent films and games all my life...and i have never considered stabing anybody Laughing

Basically this lad..killed his friend, now lets face it...in reallity he was probably a little chav dickhead who did nouthing but drink cider and hang out at alldays. (this was compounded by him turning up to court on the news wearing a baseball cap)
But to his parents he was a gentle good natured quiet inteligent "little boy" so he must have been brainwashed by something........... ahh this game on his bedroom floor will do Laughing

It was probably just the first thing to hand at the time.....

They cant face the fact the son was capable of summin like that

Well i myself am a 17 year old*and have only jus turned 17 a week ago*. And i have a very wide range of 'unsuitable' things such as games, dvds, porn films Embarassed

. I have some of the worst games such as carmagedon 2, manhunt, all the grand theft auto games, as well as some of the most violent films - taxi driver, goodfellas and scareface. But i havnt been influenced to become a gangsta, kill people, or drive extremely fast while moaning people down.
As other people said, its all down to the parents! Middle Finger

Blame the fugging parents. If they can't teach their kid what's right, wrong, real or pretend then they're really the only one's to point the finger at.

Totally mad - we should have tighter restrictions.

Although I have watched 'Neighbours' on TV for a number years and quite often I feel like killing a few people .... wonder if there's a link Question

Hi

Don't think things should be banned.

They guy was a fruitcake. Sure he might not have commited murder without watching the film. He also might just have waited a bit longer and got a bit more devious before blowing up the local kindergarden.

All the best

Mmm Censorship?

I fugging hate censorship.

By all means, censor that material that really hurts the innocent. Anybody involved in child porn, snuff movies etc deserves to die in my opinion. People suffer to create these.

However, I hate it when people try to censor a cartoon. After all, that's all a video game is. My kids (age 4 & 2) love Tom & Jerry, one of the most violent cartoons ever.

Never seen either of them trying to hit each other with a frying pan yet.

Anybody remember the knee-jerk reaction after the death of Jamie Bulger? Ban the film 'Childs Play'. Did it make any difference (apart from making the film more famous than a B Movie deserved)?

Censorship is a nasty way of people telling you 'we know better, and you're not good enough to know'.

In this case, the little scrote would have done what he did with or without the game. Tom & Jerry would have been the excuse, if all else failed.

Couldn't have been a case of the kid was just a nutter, could it?

Cheers,

Byrnie.
