Who the fuck gives a fuck about what fox fucking thinks.  P.S. Fuck.

Why don't we just take out sad endings from movies or swearing in music while were going?

@Kiera: That's a different debate. Whatever the case, the images and stories in games are expressions of their creators, and they should be protected. I would say that includes a game mechanic such as a choice system. Those things should not be censored. Self-expression is not about making everyone happy with the message. Instead of never exposing kids to bad influences, why not talk to kids about those influences to illustrate why they are bad, and better equip kids to make those decisions in their own lives?

 That's true. But also, if something is made where the intent is to make a profit doesn't it stop being art?

Then Davinci's works were never art then, or Michealangelos.(probably spelled his name horribly wrong, but hey, you know the guy who painted the top of the 16th chapel right? that guy.) They all did it for the money, they were commissioned for each of their works and got paid to do them. Are they less art in your eyes? Or are they just the same anyways?   Also, sorry for the double post.

    This wouldn't fly in the states. For all the talk people give about our gun laws, at least we can defend ourselves without having to worry about being made the bad guy.

So if somebody breaks into your home in America you can shoot them dead, and everyone just gives you a big pat on the back? I'm pretty sure they'd investigate whether you needed to kill somebody or used excessive force.

In Tennessee, if someone breaks into your house, as long as they aren't trying to leave you can shoot them. Period, full-stop. I linked the actual law a while back, go look for it.

Censor art so that a small group of small-minded people don't take offense? No way.

Are video games art though?

Oh please no, please don't do this. Please, for the love of god. Don't turn this into that debate.

?

........... how long have you been on here? Just wondering. Because that debate is HUGE. I sugguest not starting it in this topic for the sheer fact that it literally can destroy entire forums VERY VERY quickly, almost at the speed of light actually. (Not joking in the slightest.)  (although, my opinion on it is that yes, it is art. Let's just stop right there. mmkay?

Morality in games need to add some complexity to it. Playing through Mass Effect 2 is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. top left/right is good while bottom left/right is bad. No granularity, no repercussions of seemingly making poor decisions.

Yeah, like I'm going to check their Alpha Brain Wave pattern or run my fist across their sternum to see if they're faking.   Fuck off.

 Or walk backwards.... jeeze you're so angry. 

I'm angry because you're an idiot. You say walk backwards...someone else already suggested that and I gave a response. What was my response? If you had read the thread, YOU WOULD KNOW.  Dumbass.

If I read all 195 replies in which 80 percent consisted of you being irrationally mad and calling someone names I might have an aneurysm. 

The only people I've called names are you and Handsomedead, because you're both being dicks.

Is there something inherently funny about the numerals 1 and 4, or collectively as the number 14?

Funny AND sad actually. You punched a 14 year old. Amazing. Really says a lot about you and makes sense of your responses here.

Truth be told I didn't look at WHO I was punching. A hand went down my back pocket and my fist flew to where I knew the fucker at to be.  And come on, if I go up and put my hand down some strange womans back pocket and she punched me you'd be all 'girl power'.  Don't lie.  Anyone puts their hands in my pockets without my permission gets hurt, period. Period.

Of all the things to cover, selecting "yes" or "no" in a video game doesn't seem like news or very pertinent.

@Fajita_Jim: Maybe other family members of mine were gansters, even if he's not one his friends are. He's legit now, but I have talked to gangs before, but only in canada. Perhaps it's more lax in canada because they usually mind their own business if you don't bother them. But in the u.s, I suppose those things can happen. But if your attacked by them, if you don't overly hurt them and get away and run, i'm sure they will say ah fuck it, let's go after someone else. I'm not sure about new york and stuff, those places seems very violent.

Gangs around here don't give a shit. They'll come to your house if they have 'unfinished business', like if you just knocked one of them out.

Do you live in Deadwood?

The question of where I live have already been answered in detail. You either:  A: Didn't read it, or... B: Didn't comprehend what you read.  I'm guessing B.

I think you think you live somewhere more dangerous than it really is. Just saying.

Want to feel like an ass? The next city over is Knoxville and we are actually included in the metro statistical area, so these stats include us as well:

Knoxville Crime Statistics.

   Now, fuck off. For real this time.

Wow, you must be the only one who's ever lived in a city, bro.

Is this some sort of joke post? Why don't we just ban anything objectionable ever from everything while we're at it?

The idea that someone so defensive on a forum also carries a gun in real life is truly frightening. Please don't shoot someone if they sneeze in your direction even if they sneezed in a threatening manner.

That was a pretty juvenile attempt at humor/cleverness/whatever, and you now sound even less intelligent than you did previously.  If you don't have anything constructive to say...and I also mean something someone else hasn't already said but you're ignorant of the fact because you refuse to read the entire discussion....then please go away. I don't care if you are female, you're still a dick.

Why should you care if I'm female? You seem like an angry person. Like someone that would punch a child for doing something as harmless as trying to pick pocket you.

A 14-year-old isn't a child, he's an adolescent.  A minor, yes, but not a child.  Angry? Only if angry means I understand that some truths aren't pretty.  And why does it matter if you're female? I was making a play on the word 'dick'. It isn't that difficult to figure out, it's part of the same damn sentence.

14? Hahahahhaa

Is there something inherently funny about the numerals 1 and 4, or collectively as the number 14?
