Ban GTA IV for killing virtual people, but what world do we live in?

GTA is just for fun.Everyone likes it because u get to do things illegal to do in life,like killing someone in gta game isn't illegal.But why is media and people in the society sayin that they have to ban gta because it influences u to kill people?.People in this world take revenge by killing someone.Mafia,american gangstas and other fucks kill people jus because they dont pay them or if they disturb them.people even kill for pleasure.People dont fuckin kill by playin gta.IF This game influences people to kill why would the creaotr create sumthin like this!!!!!!!He would know if sumone will kill sum1 by playin this.They banned our favourite tv show south park and now our favourite video game "GTA".We cant let those mothafuckers do this!!!!!!We should stop them!!!!!!!

The idea that video game violence desensitizes people to violence is complete crap. There are depths to real life violence that video games could never grasp, and because of those depths people who play video games will not become apathetic to real world violence.

Besides, the only reason that many people choose video games as creator of violent children is because those few kids who have committed violent acts have played video games of a violent nature. However, considering how many kids above the age of 8 play or have played extremely violent video games I think that it is safe to conclude that it does not desensitize our children.

Those virtual people had it coming anyway. I'm sure some of them would have become virtual Hitlers.

So playing madden increases my NFL credentials. I'm coming for you Tom Brady!

*Sigh* Yet again the root of the problem is given a wide berth in favour of going after the nearest scapegoat.

I blame Elvis.

Here's an idea. Why don't we ban semi-automatic weapons from being sold out of gun shows? The last time I checked, you don't need to pump a deer with 20 rounds of bullets to 'Git er Done'.

I don't know where you live, or who you've been talking to , but that's always what the argument has been about: "Blah blah blah GTA desensitises people to violence blah blah"
Not to be rude but I've heard you're viewpoint a hundred and one times and I still don't believe it
