It's just a game folks.Proper parenting is our nations problems not games.

I find it hypocritical that they want to ban a video game claiming that it promotes violence and in any Wal-Mart live ammo is sold without any form of control. All the activists and mothers and Bloomberg say nothing. WAKE UP PEOPLE! Guns and ammo kill people, not videos games. We are all humans and by nature may feel aggression from time to time. video games are a non-violent way to vent out aggression and have fun on the way. Boxing is more violent than GTA because its not fictional. If your kid can't understand that drunk driving is wrong and reckless than you have raised him wrong; blaming it on a game doesn't relieve parents' accountability for their kids actions. What's next? baning movies? And a word to Mr. Bloomberg-fix the subway, reduce taxes, do something else than tell people how to live. You are there to serve us no to control us. You would never dare take on the Walton family for selling ammo because they are worth $120BB. I wonder how many people were killed from ammo bought at discount retailes.

Get a life, Its only a game. Do you want to ban movies like No country for old men because of the violence? No. Reality check time, if you don't like it don't play it and carry on with your life and stay out of ours.

So, Justice Scablia can say that torture is ok because although cruel and unusual it is not punishment and no one says anything about. This is a real Justice talking about real people being tortured and all MADD can talk about is pretend drunk driving. Good job Moms.

Playing GTA is an option. Just like MADD has the option to protest, violent video game players have the right to play games and 'protest' in their own way, being virtually, non-socially-accepted oriented.

More so, violence is a feeling every person has, it is not 'created' by a video game.

Hello, I have GTA4. It is a fun and in my case a stress relieving game. If they ban it, it will cause a serious problem for Sony, Microsoft, and RockStar considering Sony and Microsoft will drop their internet capabilities for the game. Will we receive a refund? Will Sony and Microsoft receive their money back for licensing? How many people will get laid off at RockStar? This is crazy and everyone knows it. The MADD group needs to understand yes its a choice but other games insert the idea of violent crimes too. CoD4 inserts the idea of killing terrorists is a "good" thing when in reality they are humans like us fighting for their cause and beliefs. The game will not get shutdown because it is the nations #1 game of the year in sales. 600,000 copies the first day... Blew Halo3 out of the water!

The real problem is the sick attitude so many kids and adults have: they like to fantasize about killing people. What is so great about that? Why spend endless hours in front of the computer, simulating murdering people, when you could do something positive in real life?
