Grand Theft Auto may be encouraging people to murder people, jack cars, consider policemen as bad guys, create gangs, graffiti, use weapons, use bad language etc. Although the game is rated M it may still be promoting bad behavior from people 17 and older or their younger siblings. Nothing can prevent younger children from watching their older siblings play or even play for themselves. Should there be stricter rules? Every person I know that has the game Grand Theft Auto is under 17. I know people the ages 9, 10 11, 12, 15, 16, and possibly more who have played Grand Theft Auto. Should it be banned from stores? The games feature the several cusswords (including Sh** and Fu**), multiple weapons (slitting civilians throats with daggers, guns), running from cops, stealing cars. Sure it's fun, but is it really worth it if people start turning into "bad guys"?

^Of course, there are the exceptions. People who have gone through strict discipline will be able to control themselves. Still, though, there's always the breaking point - we're definitely not impervious and perfect.

QUOTE(CreateBlob @ Mar 21 2005, 5:59 PM) I guess it's about time I posted. I read through most the posts already. I think he has a point ^. My own opinion is that I don't think GTA is causing most crimes, but it is kind of encouraging them. My dad (who knew nothing of the game GTA) heard on the news that someone confessed something about GTA encouraging him to do crimes. I think that it's the own kid's choice and it takes discipline. It may also be the parents' responsibility as well. |
