that guy is just the biggest dumbass ever i mean kids see things 10 times worse on tv then what they see in GTA (a must have game IMO). i mean come on there is sex all over tv and internet that can be accested by anyone at any time. that dumbass is fighting a war that he will never win. if GTA becomes AO permenatly then kids will just get their parents to buy the game for them like right now so i dont see what he is trying to prove with that.

I don’t know about you....but I'm afraid...if this guy has his way....well than what game is next? Could Guild wars be targeted for the underwear of the female characters? Who knows....I'm really scared guys.....

What are your thoughts?

This guy reminds me of a former member of my cities council. Which took his young daughter to a nude swimming area by a river(knowing full well that there were nude people down there) and complained like a jackass about his child having to witness such nudity.

People don't understand that there is nothing wrong with nudity

The nudity in GTA isn't a big deal because it is the players choice to acess that content and if either the violence or sex in the movies and TV doesn't bother these guys i don't know what does.

This man is an idiot not because of what he stands for, but because he is over-inflating the issue so that now everyone will know about it. What a way to defeat your own purpose.

censorship in any form is bad.

Everyone in the world can tell you exactly what there genitals and body look like. Chances are they look reaasonable close to what everyone elses of your gender looks like.

Why do people care? Does person x looking at a combination of pixels that look like a persons genatals affect person y in any way? NO.

So long as the option is there for you to be able to turn off the nudity then everything should be fine.

As for the video game rating system who really cares what stuff is rated? I know 5 year olds that play GTA: San Andreas and there parents don't care. So long as the parents and society extablish for the kids that video games are works of fantasy and have no bearing on real life then what do ratings matter.

As for nudity in general: are you really that ashamed of the human body? The sad thing is that the people most vemetaly (sp?) opposed to nudity are the people who beleive in a god and that humans are the pinacle of creation (not all but this is mostly true). Why should something that you beleive to be the pinnacle of creation be hidden? Shouldn't it be shown in all its glory?

Why don't people realize that video games and movies are based on the things that we as humans dream of doing or want to do but can't because of the basic laws of the universe (time travel being possible with a device the size of a wrist watch) or that society and honor stop us from doing (murder, criminal acts and the like).


Now this was in no perticular order and it is 4:00 AM were I am ATM so please excuse any spelling errors. If this is still being dicussed when I come back later than I will reply more specifical and debate my vies with anyone willing to have a mature debate.

Thinking I don't want any Clinton "has been" seeing a ranger female dancing without armor. Up against a Warrior doing drums... Come to think of it Fem Elementalist is rather provocative too....

Is it any wonder the mod for BF2 with her face on a bulls-eye is such a popular mod now???

LMAO Next they are going to say we are terrorists and assassins in training. watch... here it comes...

For the record, Thompson has recanted his claim about The Sims 2 having nude textures under the pixelation... he claims he was "misinformed."

Well then he should be sued by EA for defamation of character.

I mean if I was going to claim something like this you think that you would see it with your own 2 eyes before doing anything.
