"...his son was unemployed and spent most of his time at home, playing computer games. His favorite was Postal, in which the protagonist, a postman, attacks people on the streets of London."

Such games should be outlawed. That would at least put a dent in their availability. I have played similar murderous games and there is no joy in them! Even when I am massacring usama bin laden or common street thugs, there is no lasting joy. Outlaw all such games!

And outlaw all stupid senseless kill-for-fun movies like Kalifornia and Kill Bill. All they do is invite trouble by the troubled.

Here in the U.S. so much of life is over-regulated but the evil computer games and movies simply get slapped with silly stickers warning of their content. BFD! Doesn't keep them out of the hands and minds of somewhat older kids (and some of the targeted younger ones) anyway. No good can come from this.

I am all for artistic license but evil for the sake of evil is evil! And content creators know the difference between evil for the fun of it and an artistic portrayal of evil inherent in an issue being addressed by a work.

Stepping off my soapbox now. Sorry for the rant. This issue always steams me.

Take your words and put them in my mouth, you are right.

I tried to convince my daughter to not pre-order the famous boy wizard books for her son, her answer "but he will read it".

All this goth crap is off the computer.

But then I am the one who was nuts and did not want my kids watching tv.

Read the communist manifesto 1963 and then think about the evilness in the games and tv.

I am still amazed when I hear a voice on the radio say that they do not think there is a God.

Some stop there, others go on and say other crap out of the manifesto.

There are too many of them out there.

All those chemicals they are playing with, could have been cures and food for earth.

The millions of dollars and hours spent attempting to leaglize the pot, could do wonders if used for good.

I never did pot, but have taken a walk and talked to God many times, get the same high and relaxation.

A good shovel and a row to hoe, are good for making one go to sleep, after a few hours of using them.

Gads, our soapboxes are stacked high today.

LOL, back on the computer/games/groups.

There was a school shooter in N.Dakota, I think, maybe on the indian reservation, a couple years.

He was into nazi and games, I remember going to his nazi site.

I have noticed that those who are often hosts or callers on the talk shows, and are either full commies, or hate America, will talk about the games they play.

Mother Earth, some 30 years ago, published a full book, a chapter a month about brainwashing on the tv.

All those blinking lights that you see, are used in brainwashing, read some of the real texts on it, Russia is more than likely the best at it, their research is far ahead of ours.

When my navy husband, taught me about brainwashing, the example used, right after the Cuba almost war, was that the schools would give the kids a candy bar, if they gave the right answer of "Castro is the greatest leader".

I still hear, older people talk about Castro and candy bars.

I was living out of reach of tv for 10 years, about 85 to 95, and was shocked at the blinking lights and repeating of hate on it, when I did see it again.

I hate all the "men are too stupid" ads that are on.

It is all in the manifesto.

Amen!
My son had one of these games, this has just been a few years ago, so he was in his twenties. I was reading the cheat sheet for him, harmless yeah, I had the worst nightmare's I have ever had in my life that night.

You are right they should be outlawed along with playboy/girl and all porno and alcohol.
