I consider much of the censorship in this country to be pathetic, hypocritical and completely out of touch with reality. For example, my nephew, who is ten, likes playing 'Call of Duty' games on his X-Box. The games feature age restrictions on the basis that the content is unsuitable for people below that age. Really? ... It's a computer game, it's not real and my nephew is quite capable of knowing the difference between fantasy and reality. On the flip side of this nonsense, we have something like the lunchtime News - where real-life images of Colonel Gadaffi being battered are considered perfectly acceptable for unrestrained broadcast. There was also a story about a young girl who was raped on her way home from school - my Nephew asked his Mum "What's rape?" A difficult conversation ensued. Can anyone explain how this bullshit even begins to work?
i have to agree with you. There doesn't seem to be any consistency. One is fantasy...and there's a lot of blood, one is reality, and there's a lot of blood. It makes no sense to show the real over the fantasy.
My 5 year old nephew regularly plays GTA, COD and such it never did me no harm to play violent games so how it harms other people is a mystery. Although i did know some lassie who was a friend of the family, she played Resident Evil with my brother then 2 days later went sleep walking with a stick trying to break into cars in the middle of pollok.
Because aparently video games breed, ****ed up, no emotion feeling serial killers. That's what all the professors, teachers etc say anyway, I think it's a complete joke
...I love stuff like this - it must be based on all the serial killers that have confessed 'the games made me do it' Total madness.
How about the internet? That's freely available on pretty much every mobile phone now. As supernorwich23 proves to thecuntwithnobrain, real images of Apache gunships shooting **** out of 'the enemy' are available right now for anybody, of any age, to look at. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=db9_1259575524 I don't have a problem with young people witnessing reality, but to censor things like computer games or Hollywood movies seems plain crackers to me.
That's because London is a ****ed up place, where people call each other 'blud' and cite anger at high unemployment rates as a reason for looting and then burning down employing businesses.
