[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 209084, member: 3373"] Yeah, the good guys killed some bad guys when we were younger but there was rarely even a bullet hole. Saw some of the video games used as examples during the meetings at the White House. Can anyone explain to me where the thrill is to have a game so violent. Where is the public outcry when a game meant for the younger audience, or at least no guarantee that young children cannot have access, has a scene where a person's throat gets ripped out. There can be no social value in such games. The right to Free Speech only goes so far in my mind. Hell, I've been hunting for years and even I don't like to see much blood when I shoot an animal. Other than wanting them to die quickly I want the blood cleaned off before I do much looking. Have taken some pictures in the past where I didn't take the time to clean the animal up and then look later and wonder "Why didn't I take a little time for a nice picture?" If you're a parent who allows your children to use such brutal video games I guess I might question "what the hell are your thinking?" [/QUOTE]
