The
Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has gained another victory in
Michigan against a permanent injunction against the state's violent
video games law. The main argument for the prosecutors were that the
violent games are interactive so kids get to participate in the
violence instead of just watching it as they would on TV or a movie.

this is great news. i agree wiht the last paragraph 100%. When i get pised off at some one and get really angry, i play some GTA to relieve myself. I would never go out and actually do the things.

What helps me get passed aggression is something like meditation and playing videogames is not a VIOLENT act THERE IS NO HATRED INVOLVED, idiots, it's pretty much the same as meditating for me. You're relaxed, focused on one thing rather then all the ***** you don't like about something and soon you forget what you were so angry about in the first place. I recommend it for all.

» Powerfull peeps
Is it me or are the people who run the world a bunch of two faced retards
if they ban video games then they should ban books, internet, tv, cinema, all sporting events, gambleing etc.....
lets see how long it would take for people to start killing each other.
p.s. if games made people violent then there would be no one left alive within a 100 miles of my house

I am happy Michigan is one state that is actually paying attention to first amendment rights of people under 18 years old. Some states are tring to restrict that right by saying that violent games should only be bought if your an adult. Some people need to learn that the first amendment applies to all Americans no matter their age.

» Age restrictions
Age restrictions should aply regardless of what anyone thinks
like gta, i played the game when i was young (good old top down views) i dont think that 7yo should be hearing words like N**** and F****** on a 5 second basis
you 7yo may think your old enough but trust me u aint, go play some mario or somthing

» These types of people are like zombies ...
and they all need put out of their misery, just as much. They have no brains, to not think what they are doing is unconstitutional .... and stuff.
When downloads are mainstream, what are they going to do then? Try and ban video games all together? LmaO.
Honestly, they need to quit because what they are doing is robbing the voice of the parents, who are responsible for their kids and what they view. And if your a parent who cares about their kids, you'll know what they can and cant view.
All kids are different and have specific tollerences - parents are capable of knowing this. Not some joe-shmoe I never even heard of before - let alone them knowing my kids enough.

Instead of going after video games, this money would better be spent turning around the automotive industry in MI.
The study should be on how people get violent when they lose their jobs. Then they need GTA to vent their frustrations.

If i did id be in jail right now having nasty things done to me by some guy called buba. People have diffrent mental ages.

Its them chav kids with the load music and love for guns brought on by 50 cent that kill people. Not fans of violence and gore.
