SnyderGuy Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I just learned to tolerate children in GTA ONLINE instead of yelling at them for playing a game like this and calling their parents terrible parents (I give a reason of course, like the rape, drug, prostitution, torture, etc) You have convinced me to start again. ROCKSTAR NEEDS TO ADD REPORT OPTION FOR TOO YOUNG Wait, we can rape in GTA? LOL I'm guessing you haven't played single player You can also rip people's teeth out, shock them to death, hit them with crowbars, ugh, it's just... Really hard to think 6 year olds play this game, even though I see it every time I do... ten-a-penny, Dirtbag, sid_vicious74 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am30 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The head teacher is putting the blame in the wrong place. It is not the game that is to blame (someone gets shot by a whack-job with a gun - the gun is not at fault, it's the whack-job). It's the negligent parents letting their kid play a game that they should not be playing. Also, GTA is not the only game these kids play that is not suitable for them and it's not just video games. It's TV, movies, internet and music as well that contains material unsuitable for minors. But abover all else, it's the total and utter lack of parental control. Changed days from when I was a kid. The worst we did was clothes-line each other. Kids should not even know about the things listed in the letter I would actually be embarassed if a child of mine was up to this sort of stuff. I remember being caught swearing when I was 6 or 7 by a teacher at school who happened to be friends with my Mum. Sure as hell didn't do it again for a while after that. Different times though (well 20 odd years ago). J_L_K_64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatRandomGuy42 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) You guys should all completely ignore OP's post. Not saying it's bad (Good job OP) but the source in question is from "THE DAILY-F*CKING-MAIL" The Daily Mail is the UK equivalent to Fox News in the USA. They are constantly xenophobic, blaming immigrants for just about everything they can They are often homophobic They supported the Nazis in the 1930's (Earning the name "The Daily Heil) They will tell you that everything will give you cancer They constantly publish bullsh*t with the sole intention of scaremongering They LOVE the pin the blame on violence in gaming and TV for crimes (as OP pointed out for you) They steal articles from other websites (Cracked for example) They constantly bitch and moan about porn on the internet...while posting bikini pictures of celebrities They enjoy making up bullsh*t newstories from TV programs (Like Sherlock and somehow relating it back to the BBC being political biast) They rightly hate on pedophiles but have no problem publishing images of celebrity children at the beach. Yep. You read that right. They are just awful. So do yourselves a favor and take no notice of OP's article. It's just your typical Daily Mail bullsh*t.

trunkster Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Video games? When I was 6? Erm... We played outside. That was it. It's only since I have had my eyes opened by the many guises of GTA that my rape, murder, running people over and shooting cops tendencies have been able to flourish.

redfirebird87 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 if it's against the law to sit a kid down in front of a pRon, why is it not illegal to sit them down in front of a game like this? Seems like there should be some legal consequences.. like child endangerment or some other "think of the children" bullsh*t. J_L_K_64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Reacher Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 What most likely happened was a bunch of 11 year olds played the game with their older brothers at some point. They then acted out the scenes on the playground because, well what kind of grown adult is going to do that? They let a 6 year old join in cuz well why not he doesn't really know whats going on anyway. GTA will give you cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Muramasa Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I would question why parent's aren't monitoring what their kids are playing, but to be honest thank god it is GTA they are playing and not one of the god-awful games in the world. They will one day grow into avid gamers who know what a good game is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonaut Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Apparently nowhere days, movies ratings hold weight to adults but video game ratings? Ppft, nah, what would a completely controllable, watchable and easily more rememberable medium such as that do to our kids? Picking to kill someone brutally in a game by choice? Totally not as bad someone else doing it on screen and stylized.. And not to say that I believe that video games cause violence. Its 110% the parents control and not enough is done to reinforce what an 18 Rating in games means today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
