GRAND THEFT AUTO IV : MURDER SIMULATOR STRIKES AGAIN! -
08-05-2008, 11:47 AM
THIS story highlights how dangerous this so-called 'game' really is! It has turned this 18 year old child, who's parents describe him as 'polite' and 'diligent' into a homocidal maniac!!!
This game needs BANNED, and FAST!!

Computer game linked to murder of taxi driver
Grand Theft Auto IV, the violent fantasy computer game, has run into fresh controversy after being linked to the murder of a Thai taxi driver whose alleged killer was said to be attempting to recreate a scene from the game.
Its distributor in Thailand, New Era Interactive Media, announced yesterday that it was halting sales of the best-seller after weekend reports that an 18-year-old high school pupil told police he had robbed and stabbed the 54-year-old driver to death after playing the game obsessively.
The teenager, described by his parents as polite and diligent, was arrested late on Saturday after he was found trying to steer a cab backwards out of a Bangkok street with the severely-wounded driver in the back seat, newspapers reported. He faces death by lethal injection if found guilty.
The incident is the latest in a string of controversies that Grand Theft Auto, created by Edinburgh-based games company Rockstar North, has courted. Tougher guidelines have been proposed in the UK to regulate games such as the GTA and Manhunt series - another Rockstar North production - while in America, Hillary Clinton has dubbed GTA a "major threat" to morality.
The fourth edition of the game, which sold 3.6 million copies on its first day of release, is based in a virtual city resembling New York in which players can take part in a range of gangland activities including beatings, carjackings, drive-by shootings, drunk driving and prostitution.
A senior official at Thailand's Culture Ministry said the murder was a wake-up call for authorities to tackle the issue of violent video games and urged parents to pay closer attention to what their children played.
Ladda Thangsupachai, director of the ministry's Cultural Surveillance Centre, told Reuters news agency: "This timebomb has already exploded and the situation could get worse. Today it is a cab driver but tomorrow it could be a video game shop owner."
Police said the youth showed no sign of mental problems during questioning and had confessed to committing the crime because of the game. "He said he wanted to find out if it was as easy in real life to rob a taxi as it was in the game," said chief police investigator Veeravit Pipattanasak.
The suspect told police he did not mean to kill the driver, whom he had chosen as a possible victim because of his age, but that he stabbed him to death when he fought back, newspapers reported.
A multi-million dollar lawsuit was filed in the American state of Alabama against the makers and marketers of Grand Theft Auto in 2005, claiming that months of playing the game led a teenager to kill two police officers and an emergency services worker.
Attacks have also been levelled at Manhunt 2, which was subjected to a long-running feud between Take-Two, the New York-based parent company which owns Rockstar, and the British Board of Film Classification, which banned the game in 2005. The ban was overturned in the courts, meaning it can be sold with an 18 rating.
Ministers are considering moves to make classification of video games compulsory. At present, only about 10% - those which feature gross violence or offensive sexual images - are covered by an age-rating system. Other games come under a voluntary Europe-wide scheme, meaning that fewer than 3% carry an 18 certificate.

"He said he wanted to find out if it was as easy in real life to rob a taxi as it was in the game," said chief police investigator Veeravit Pipattanasak... that just about says it all.

It's just a game, for heaven's sake!
If they had seriously wanted to make it realistic, they would have incorporated pie stealing, crack peddling and white women raping.

I don't see why - you still wear the same old Gas-masks, and probably haven't changed your shorts for the past 6 months (A typical Goth trait). So why would Game-tards stop playing the most Violent video game EVER invented, just because a few new-less violent games come out?
They wouldn't, and the facts speak for themselves...
"He said he wanted to find out if it was as easy in real life to rob a taxi as it was in the game"
Wow!

The parents have some responsibility, but so do the Clintons.

By now the majority of the gamers are either bored with the game or completed the game so they go out and buy other games as the industry launches new games every week, the media on the other hand cannot handle every game launched, they only did GTA4 because it already had a reputation.

Snot, what do YOU know about the majority? You're a pathetic loser Goth-tard who wears a gas-mask, and hangs around with his loser Goth mates at loser Goth Wrist-cutting-parties, bitching about what pathetic loser Goth-tards you all are!

Correction BP, I collect them, I don't wear them. As for the rest, how should you know, you've never been to a decent Goth party to begin with nor do you know anything about games..

Games??? You mean Goth games Goths play at Goth parties? No I don't, but I could hazard a guess that they'd be pretty twisted. Pin the tail on the dead-baby, crying contests, guess how many razor blades I've eaten contests, skin the live kitten etc etc. We all know what sick freaks you Gothics are!

You know it's bad when a Clinton describes something as a "major threat to morality"!!
Bible boring? Nonsense!

wow, that is one of the most hypocritical things i have ever read. a Christian freak wanting to ban a game for ONE person who is part of a community he knows NOTHING about. multiple communities at that.
1. The gamer community is most definitely NOT full of people who feel the need to find out if its easy to rob someone, we are usually content with what we get in our video games. and on top of that even less of us would fatally stab a person who resisted such an ignorant act. Do not judge us and punish us as one, we dont do that to you. Ive seen plenty of Christians change faith, you know. In fact I know a guy who just changed from Christianity to Satanism, now because one Christian did that does that mean ALL Christians will? I dont believe so, it only proves it is POSSIBLE.
2. The goth community. You act as if you study them. Like you know who they are, what they act like. WHY they are like that! No, no you dont. I dont either. But what I do know is that you do not know anything about snottyduck. You admit you have never been to a goth party, yes. Yet you still allowed yourself to judge. You allowed yourself to not only judge him and the ways he may act but to blatantly insult him without any basis for it. If you DO in fact have proof that he is this kind of person then I apologize but I do not believe it is the way of Christ to insult he who is different than you. Jesus did not swear at even those who betrayed him. "Love the neighbor," correct? You can have anybody as your neighbor, correct? Any kind of person, any religion, any race, ANYONE. Love him anyway. He is just another person in this world, and the followers of Christ are here to bring peace and salvation to those, not persecution and insults.

not all video games tell of violence. before the government monopolized, there were several christian video games , which in my opinoin is a better way to reach the youth than preaching to them for hours daily,

Like I have said before..... How can any video game be good when all they do is cause inactivity, obesity, laziness, social anxiety, acne, and much more. I think a KJV Bible and a walk through the beautiful parks God created is all you need.
Gather around so that I can read to you from my book of TRUTH. Genesis thru Revelations....Pick one!
Luke 12:5- But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

But God has created everything. Using this logic, tell me what's so wrong with video games? Or are you saying that something that God has created is not good??? BLASPHEMY!
