'Grand Theft Auto' Makers Fight Lawsuit

[Mman]

Since when does it matter what inspired violent acts? Should they have sued the beatles because of the Manson case?

Where the hell are tractor trailer rigs in ANY GTA game? Also, it's extremely easy to say you were inspired to do something.

I love it when parents try to get someone else to pay for their shitty parenting.

It's like giving a five year-old porno tapes, and then suing the studio after he tries to buttfuck his sister.

Heck Im not saying the parents shouldnt share in the blame but the kid was inspired to commit the violent act by GTA3. Thats where he got the idea from.

Jeremy - Oh and yes it is easy to say it, but since we dont have mind-reading technology yet, the only way to know how the idea got in there is to ask him ;-) SO until the technology comes along, asking will have to do :-)

Parents are accountable for what their kids watch or play.

They'll play it at a kids house, but teaching your kids the difference between fantasy and reality, right and wrong is what good parents do. 10 bucks says they got this as a Christmas gift and the parents didn't even bother looking at the M rating on the back.

Show some interest in what you're kids are doing for goodness sakes. Don't give them a game and let them sit in their room for 7 hours a day shooting up pimps.

Bad parenting is the only tragedy here.... oh... and those people who died too.
