"the game trained Posey how to point and shoot a gun in a fashion making him an extraordinarily effective killer"
Yeah right.. and me after playing all gta games out there now i am an expert in using bazookas to blow up police vehicles in my daily life and then steal their helicopter to go back home and park it in my garage and go to bed in peace after changing my t-shirt and saving my life to the memory stick...
Post number #1 said it all.
Why do they ever make kids if they have no clue on how to grow one up.. Its just sad...

» Why Are People In Court So Stupid?
"Said the plaintiffs, the game trained Posey 'how to point and shoot a gun in a fashion making him an extraordinarily effective killer without teaching him any of the constraints or responsibilities needed to inhibit such a killing capacity'. The lawsuit goes on to claim that if it were not for Posey's use of these products, he would not have killed."
First, a video game can't train you how to shoot a gun period. Its common sense when you want to kill someone else with a gun you don't need much training. Point and pull the tigger. Really come on now if you need a game to help to teach you how to kill someone then, I'm sorry you just can't be helped.
And people that sue people all the time really just need to stop... I would like to no how people keep winning lawsuit on stupid crap O.o who are the juries in these court cases cause they are bored line retarded

» WHAT A SURPRIZE
yeah, america is full of ***** like always the dobble standards and now this. now a days it must be easy being a parent if anything goes bad BLAME the following... MUSIC, VIDEOGAMES, TV. Im not surpized if they blame the wars going on on bush playing some command and conquer game... well whatever If someones kid does something like that and the parents blame anything else other than them they deserve for that sh*t happen. and maybe the kid was just F***ED up to start with maybe some bad chormosome in the parents genes who cares really. eather way games have ratings like movies so "M" is for MATURE parents. i dont see what a 12,13,14,15, or 16 yr old is doing with such a game or what lame parents you are for not supervising their gaming. im sure you dont buy porn for your kids and if you catch em with one you take it away. its the same for the game. so... you know just SHUT IT. have another kid maybe that one wont be F***ED UP. Try eating healthy and not smoking. also avoid drinkin.

how come celebrities never take blame like this?
thier lives are emulated more than anyone else.
if this is anything like McDonalds then in a few years the games will be more violent then ever,since the whole "eat healthy" phase passed by

» this should be a rule
Ok ppl agree with me on this one, when a family tries to sue a game company who makes rated M games for causing a someone under 17 (who shouldnt even have the game) should automatically have their case refused. i mean really the game is rated M for a reason, most kids under 17 cant handle the difference between a game and reality.

» If this kid shot his family, the kid was F*cked up... the game is rated mature. In a way the parents are to partialy blame for letting the kid get the game. The game didn't make him do this... his already messed up life did.

» American comments are uncalled for
If you have not been in the US, don't f**king judge....just because the lame media posts something in the US, does not mean every american does that...stop being ignorant, and open your eyes. This kid did not learn what is right from wrong, and I guess some of you didn't either.

» Guilt
It's all based around guilt, they feel guilty and as though they are to blame, maybe they are maybe they aint, it could have been the people he was hanging around with or just overly influenced (by games, yes it is possible) What am saying is, they feel guilty, so they just want to pass the blame, so they feel less guilty for letting him get so bad (again despite the fact it may not have been their fault anyway.)
But at the end of the day, he was 17, he was old enough to know better, no matter what games he was playing, he is responsable for his own actions, and should face the consequences.

» I say
...sue the parents. Well, since they're dead, sue the next relatives (esp. those who now try to sue entertainment companies). Sue them to hell and bury them in a deep black hole for their utter dumbness and ignorance.
a) A game rated "M" given to a 14 year old
b) The kid had access to weapons which he shouldn't have at any possibility
The parents violated their parental duties at least twice. I don't even want to know how much else they diseducated the child. *****ed up families shouldn't get the possibility to sue other for their own faults, especially when it's so *****ing obvious (a game does not train anyone to do things in real life, you just can improve your reactions and intuitivity at specific situations, also the game surely didn't include the weapon, god damn).
The judges at court are also pretty much *****ed up if they give reason like this. I really wonder how stupid people can be and still get into positions where they get to decide over others. And that's not only in America... the courts here in germany aren't much better either
***** the world, 'cause the world is *****ed up

Ok... How can a third person perspective game teach someone how to fire a pistol if the characters in the game can't even hold the damned thing the right way? GTA doesn't teach basic pistol markmanship, it teaches us that people are whiney douchebags and that stupid *****balls will blame other peoples idiocy on video games.

» wtf?
Really , a game could not push a person to do such a thing unless they had totally *****ed up morals in the first place. As if games are the cause , and yet firing a real gun at animals are never blamed. I have no problem with hunting , i have a problem with blaming and ignoring the issue of ethics.
An ethical person would not have shot anyone.. pixelated humans have nothing to do with the issue

» Uh-uh.
Being an avid Grand Theft Auto fan, and also a kid just turning fifteen soon, I can say that GTA does not turn you into a cold blooded killer. In fact, I would never kill somebody if I had the chance. And I'd like to wonder how such a game 'teaches you how to point and shoot a gun', turning you into a merciless killing machine. In reality, there's no R1 button that targets a nearby enemy, nor is there a large O button that automatically fires the weapon in a perfect line to the target. These accusations are nothing but crap.

» well..........
I always was against people like Jack Thompson because of their extremist actions but few days ago I realize that when you go to Babagges and Gamstop most of the kids who buy games like GTA are just 9-12 year olds and although I bought GTA 3 when I was 11 , I feel a bit insecure that minors play that games , why? , I know that unlike me there are kids who there parenbts don't spend time with them and there are many kids who act by gropu pressure and there are many kids who have anger issues and there many kids who can hardly dsitinguish truth from reality , some of those kind of kids buy this games and have a capability of causing massacres. And I know the fault is not of the videogame companies but we gotta face that that doesn't change parents will be responsible , with todays many troubles ( especially in America as a whole , not just USA ) many parents don't have time to spend time with their children and parents like those are million so it's a problem that cannot be solved , that's why I think that to some extent we should limit what can be done in violent videogames.
