I have no clue as to what these things are....

 

however' date=' I'd not go spazzing out and not drinking tap water anymore. People have been drinking water for, how long now?

 

I've seen an alcoholic drink so much, he'd redrink his urine once he ran out. Whatever those lil boogers are I highly doubt will hurt you. I read once we have thousands upon thousands of microorganisms living just inside our mouths. Not to mention inside the rest of our body. You breath more of these micro-things with each breath. So I guess you need to quit breathing as well.

 

I understand the concern, but there is probably more nasties in mountain dew. It would be interesting to compare those samples to some bottle water. It is also pretty neat considering the objects in your photos could be mistaken for some astronomical object.[/quote']

 

He isn't concerned about the safety of the sample, he is just curious about what the things are.

How odd that it came from "GTA is a brilliant game, when it's in stores?" to this. :/ Not that it's too weird that this sort of things come up when such games are discussed.

right. Lets start again on a clean slate

As I pointed out earlier:

 

 

 

An age limit does not really prevent anything. The ratings level is a nice thought however it doesn't work

 

Parents should be responsible but it's hard for them to monitor everything there children plays or watches' date=' games like this should be mandatory you provide identification that shows you are over age 17 or 18 to rent or buy.

 

And as much as the parents may try, most kids these days do not respect their parents or elders. As you can see:[/quote']

settle down, don't insult me. Geez, OI respect my parents more than anything in the world. You don't know me, so don't say something assuming I am some brat. Don't make it personal.

You can be crazy without murdering people. I'm sure a lot of the people on this forum could be called 'crazy'.

Sure, I'm a little crazy too. I take prescriptions for that. Its not because of GTA or violent movies.

lol jk. Thanks for a fun argument everyone.

Here in the adult world where the things we say and do have consequences for other people, we call that "hand waving" and wish people wouldn't do it.

Oh, deary me. So sorry, Sir. I didn't mean to offend an adult . May I wash my Elders feet? Please, don't tell Papa ! I beg of you sir!

"The first 'mission' I played on the game introduced me to two of the lead characters old gang members. One had become a crack dealer and one called 'Bear' had become an emancipated crack addict who was the subservient slave of the crack dealer. I thought that was a very strong message about choices, the scene was more dramatic than I'd expect from a"

Exactly my point. The game also depicts the crooked cop blackmailing the main character and many times your friends die.

Sure, GTA has always been a naughty game, and is intended for mature players. I feel I can handle it, as well as my sister.

Let me tell you a little story' date='

 

A couple I know had 3 children. A 5 year old boy, and twin girls ages 3. They as parents let thier children play video games, nothing nearly as bad as GTA.. they played games like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, ect. The parents somewhat neglected their children, they always went out to clubs on weekends leaving their kids with a 14 yr old babysitter. When they were home with the kids they were always yelling at them, or making them watch TV or play video games so the kids would be out of their hair. A friend of theirs from down the street offered to take their boy to the park with them so he could play with their children. While at the park the children were playing baseball. The little boy was hitting while the neighbors 4 year old daughter was pitching. I'm sure it was very cute to watch. The mom went back to her car to get her camera to take pictures while the children continued to play. While she was gone the little girl accidently hit the boy with a pitch and the boy ran up to her and hit her over the head with the baseball bat killing her instantly.

 

Don't tell me video games and movies with violence do not affect children.[/quote']

 

 

Violent media isn't to blame in that scenario, that kid sounds a little crazy.

Good point. I agree with tinyboy21 because he is right. As brutal as GTA is' date=' it does also show the negative aspects of the living conditions portrayed in the game. Sure it's fun to walk around not worrying about the police, being able to whatever the f*** you want, but I'm sure any sane person could see that the liberties shown in the game are somewhat unreachable with the policing of today. Sure you're gonna have the odd maniac who decides to shoot up some school, but they will pay for it. There is only so much damage they can do. They will be caught and they know it, they know they can only go so far. Also this is typically the world in some parts. But, going back to the main point, as bad as it looks, people should still be able to interperate the difference between gameplay and real life. What's right and what's wrong. Surely people can see how awful it would be to live in such conditions, and would make smarter choices so as to not get themselves involved in those situations.

Anyways thats just my thoughts. To me it looks like a very amusing game.[/quote']

 

my point exactly

 

btw, I'm 14 years old and I have been playing GTA 3 since I was 11. My 5 year old sister watches sometimes. Even she understands that this is like nothing more than a violent movie, which have not affected her. Sure, she killed the mailman with a spoon, but thats a phase we all go through.

Actually I own the game. I bought it the day it came out, that is part of my frustration. Every other word is F*** S*** or a**. You kill U.S. national guard and rob an army warehouse of it's weapons, among other things. Maybe I have not gotten far enough but I fail to see where the terrible side is shown.

If you have already bought the game, why are you bad mouthing it? If you are sensitive about the profanity and the content, don't buy the game.

Kids should not always get what they want.

 

Somethings just go a little to far' date=' imo this is one of those things. I'm not trying to blame anyone or anything, I was just stating my opinion of the game. Just the same as the guy who says "I think it is awesome!"[/quote']

 

 

I'm speaking as a gamer, not some censorship politition or something. You probably havn't even played the game. It glorifies the lifestyle in the game just as much as it shows how terrible it is.

 

Also, its a pretty sweet game, and thats all that matters to me.

I have been here a while. Hi jall

GTA:SA is set in the early 1990's. You start off as a gang member and you go through missions like, performing drive-by shootings, breaking into rival gang members houses and beating them to death with baseball bats. As you progress you earn gang respect and get followers. It's a sad reality that some people really live in their every day lives, and I am dissapointed that this game glorifies this.

go cry to Joe Liberman

the character is C.J. Johnson.

I gave him a fro and stash

I just got it yesterday. The Xbox version will probablly come out in a year or so.

The twinkie. What the heck is in that stuff? Take a look.

Do you think it has significance?

They looked more active than algie to me. Probably nothing special, but its definately not dirt.

castor bean seeds are VERY high in Ricin. Many poisionings involve castor bean seeds.

see if this works.

Clearly if they can fly, they can't not fly, so it must be our understanding of how bumblebees are aerodynamic that is being questioned in the original post.

Exactly. I know bumblebees can fly, I just wanted to know why people say they shouldn't.

I've heard this saying so many times, I don't know if it is true. It is that the bumblebee aerodynamically shouldn't be able to fly, but it does anyway.

Your central circadian clock may be off, but I doubt it. What kind of light do you sleep in?

i live a mile away from the ryder cup, and i saw sylvester stallone. W00t.

but you can't control how they start, and only the most experienced lucid dreamers can change the setting and other main parts of the dream, and even that is rare.
