with as little trust as i have in humanity in general, i lean toward censorship

I'd probably go towards freedom, as I always think I can handle anything :P  Lol.  Though I have seen some material which has affected me more than I've ever thought that it could...

Difficult issue, especially when you consider those countries that have mass block various types of internet sites...

all I'm gonna say is
ghey
but then again stuff get eXx1l3d for a reason,
with england prolly(my personal opinion)trying to protect itself from foreign influence, of all types of influences, needs to keep violence out,
anyways the ban is against it being sold in uk stores, it shouldnt be illegal to play it so then just import it, the uk isn't gonna ship you off to siberia, they're not communists

the reason it was eXx1l3d was that back acouple of years ago when manhunt 1 came out.. some teenager was playing it over and over again and he eventually went out and smashed some other kids head to a pulp (litterally, he took the kid to a local forest and smashed his head with a hammer untill it was a pulp)..and that's why rockstar has been given negative publicity eversince in the UK..
i remeber seeing it on the news..some fudgeed up kid who thought life was a game..:(
its quite sick actually..

I personally think kids should get better education - that is, life ain't a video game...

double you tee eff!!!.

Stupid kids have to screw everything over. And then governments introduce stupid laws. Happens all to often.


Anyways, it's not going to matter to me. Since I'm not going to get that game anyways.

iactually agree with you, even though im only 15, when i was a kid and was growing up the only console i had was a gameboy and mario games and the odd mortal combat untill i got older that's when i got my ps1 and then 2, but kids nowadays have ps2's ps3's and psp's and that can't be good for a child that's still growing up..

Other thing: age ratings are there for a purpose...  like wasn't the first one rated 18+?  Maybe parents should learn to not give their kids that kinda stuff...

lol i don't like the game anyway so iccl

More news:

Manhunt 2 has now been delayed, because a worldwide launch is becoming less and less possible as different countries assign AO or 18+ ratings to it, which means nintendo and sony won't give it a license for their consoles. The game has been postponed until further notice.
