I hate seeing people running around killing innocent people and stealing cars, doing close to what the Bible tells us not to do( 10 commandments). http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig5673072 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST never again will this game live, we walk in beauty http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig5393694 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4826666 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4686606 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition, this game is sick. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4508739 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST you all fucking suck!! grand theft auto is the greatest game ever made! and if you ever went on i would kill you(in the game you stupid fagot mothers!!!) http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4501419 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I do not, in anyway, support this. This game is for ADULTS! When you say why are children playing it? Why do you think? Becuase PARENTS let them, it's not the companys fault. Blame the parents. They did add a child lock to consoles for a reason, maybe parents should use them if they don't want kids playing it? And another thing, I bet you're one of those idiots who think "Murder in games = Murder in life." right? WRONG! If anyone did murder anyone after playing this game, it's becuase they already had the power to murder someone. The game did nothing. The first time I played a Grand Theft Auto game was when I was 8, and it was for the PlayStation One, I've played voilent games ever since and I can say that I've never murdered anyone. So get lost with your stupid pertition and get a life. Idiot. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4489530 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST If you ever needed evidence to support a ban on this type of video game just look at the mental calibre of some of the individuals criticising this petition below! Frankly half of them sound like they have forgotten to take their medication! Whilst the vast majority of the people can separate games from reality it is the sad human detritus such as some of those that have momented below that are suspectable to being brainwashed into crossing the line into committing a real atrocity. Whilst profit driven software houses who continue pump out this rubbish are grossly irresponsible and metaphorically have blood on their hands it is the government that are equally culpable for not banning this revolting tide of so called entertainment, based on the glorifaction of all the worst elements of society. I'm sure its all but impossible to quantity the damage which this tide of negative and destructive video nasties has on many vulnerable members of society. Its not so much the subnormal social misfits that enjoy these games for the wrong reasons that I despise so much as the greedy social misfits which produce these 'games' in the first place. May God forgive them. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4489464 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4435899 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4392260 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST The 18+ rating was put there by a board of a few people at the ESRB, The rating is strickly an oppinion. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4385995 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST F.uck all u pu ssy mutha fukers im gonna kill all of u lil bi tch as.s mafu.kers. u fk.n pus.sies make me sik http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4315466 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I do -not- support this petition. I am not a fan of such games as GTA and Saints Row, but I would never even consider refusing others the privilege of playing them. I myself an am avid player of a game known as Fable 2, which allows you to make the choice of being good and helping people, or falling to darkness and slaughtering entire cities. I have been paying such forms of gaming since I was the tender age of five, and here I sit as an SNHU college student with no crime record to speak of. If video games are responsible for causing children to spiral into such crime sprees, then why haven't I done such a thing. A simple fact is that parents do need to take more responsibility about what they allow their children to play. My father exposed me to games that I likely shouldn't have looked at, but I still managed to keep forth as a good citizen. This year I am writing my term paper on Video Game Violence and its affects on those who play them. If you would like, send me an e-mail and I will give you a copy when it is done. Make your decision from there. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4313509 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I just got GTA IV for my 33rd birthday. An d love it (althought I love the sound track to Vice City much more) As a parent of a 16 month old I would never allow him to play this game when he is older. Infact I've store this game where he can not see it and only play it when he is either asleep or not around, so I can get into the habit of not playing it when he is around. The point is banning this game is wrong. The first amendment is sacred and should not be trampled on. Part of living in a free society is putting up with speech and entertainment that we do not agree with. I think movies like the Friday the 13th series are appaling, do I want them banned? , No! I simply do not watch them! Who'd thought that? Now ofcourse minors should not be playing this game, just like minor's shouldn't bee watching porn or drinking beer. What it boils down too is parenting. Before you run out and buy a game for your kid, research it. Make sure it's appropiate for your kid. If you feel it is not, then don't buy it, even if the kid whines about it. Remember folks you're their parent not their friend. So banning this game would be as wrong as banning the bible. Censorship in any form is abnorant. God bless America! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4299247 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4198680 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. This sort of violence should not be promoted at ANY age. There is no good excuse for marketing a game, such as GTA IV, that allows players to have sex with women, then kill them. The people who make these games are sick! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4160275 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4076305 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/BanGTA/#sig4072409 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST "quote: if the game is 18 rated why are children playing it?" Because of stupid parents that let their kids play it. Thats an obvious question. with an obvious answer. I hate all you people that say grand theft auto is bad. Its rated M for mature for a damn reason. For mature 18+ people. Not for stupid parents to buy their kids then complain about it later how bad the game teaches their kids things. Seriously. The game isnt bad at all. It is an interactive movie. It has a story line just like an action movie. It has objectives. Just like an actor on a movie. Not just running over prostitutes, killing cops, or running over people. they have a whole story to them. Grand theft auto IV gotten an award for the best storyline in anygame. Play it before you have anything to say bad about it you stupid cock suckers
