Haitian-Americans protest Vice City - Page 2

-=DVS=- · 11-27-03, 02:22 PM

I did not even know there are any Haitian-American people in that game , maybe old people with paranoya think otherwise , all i see in vice city is bad people with guns , need to kill

Some people are nuts and scammers , they hope they can get some cash from all of this SCAM , i hope they all go to jail

Yeah, it's kind of the way I see it. My big problem is actually the language in the game since I was trying to shield my kid from cursing, but he's in public school so I figure he'll learn eventually...this way at least he knows he AIN'T to be saying it! (We have a deal, he gets to play it just as long as he never repeats the language he hears in it...it's been working well.

Hyper sensitive PC society, yay...

On a side note, why is the 'redneck mother truckers' ok, but what rockstar games is doing isnt?

PC is silly, No one is above being made fun of, or too good to be made fun of. One small goup of bad guys in a game, I am sure, is not intended to represent an entire nation. Most rational people know this already.

Where theres a claim, theres blame.

I was gonna go on about guns n stuff, but I just know I'm opening myself up to a good flaming. Fact is, if there weren't any guns, there wouldn't be any shootings. Its about time, IMHO, that ppl in the USA were stripped of their firearms.

You'd think so... but it's just not true in reality. People will find a way to get guns.

I understand and sympathise

it was bad enough trying to convince them of stuff back when they were living in a democracy. But they're still fun

And totally off-subject, my son proudly burst into the room today rejoicing that he had killed Sonny in GTA VC and he was now boss of the city.

(Yeah, I was proud.

Hey, it's not the games fault all haitians are drug dealers and criminals!

BTW nutty, how many people died by knife/sword/spear/bow/crossbow(for you vamp) damage before guns were invented? None in your world?

PenguinJim · 11-30-03, 07:17 AM

There's something waaaaaay less dangerous about a 7-year-old with a knife/sword/spear/bow/crossbow, I think. And now I'm going to do a 'Nutty' and refuse to get involved in this discussion any further

. I always kinda thought Nutty was smarter than I am, and I guess now we have proof

.

Edit: Oh, and grats on your son's achievement, DW! My father was only mildly impressed when I completed Doom2... that kind of emotional scarring could really screw me up later on in life. If only I had a gun

A kid and a crossbow is a bad thing, just as dangerous as a gun.
