I don't have any problems about suing manufacturers of video games that glorify repeated first-person shooter activities, and allow them to be repeated a thousand times per hour.

For the type of moron who would buy and use this kind of software, this would be nothing but irresistable conditioning to murder without hesitation.

The First Amendment has huge utility and is even sacred when it comes to preserving a free press, free exchange of scientific information and literary art, and lots of other stuff.

But when it comes to porn and other dehumanizing, evil stuff like these video games, people should have the right to take it to court.

Our present society is the sewer it is because ignorant people refuse to draw a line, any line, between normal activity and degenerate evil practices.

It is time we take stock and realize that it is OK to draw a line somewhere.

Thank you Tipper Gore. IMO you’re in with the same people who get terminally offended at Shakespeare’s Shylock and want to cancel out Western civilisation.

The rest of the adults know the difference between fiction and reality.

I’ve been playing first-person shooters since I was ten (unbeknownst to my parents atthe time), and I have never had an urge to kill. Neither have all of the friends I’ve made over the years playing said games, nor have my friends from high school.

I suppose you support suing production companies that make violent action and horror movies as well, plus recording companies whose bands play music with violent lyrics? Where does it stop?

Suit will go nowhere. Plus, Activision has enough money to fight it to the end.
