GTA

For those who are unfamiliar with the game series Grand Theft Auto, it takes place in three different cities; Liberty City (based off of New York City), Vice City (based off of Miami) and San Andreas (based off of San Fransisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas). In these games, the player has free roam on the city as well as doing missions. When free roaming, the player has absolute freedom to do many things including; stealing cars, picking up hookers, murdering random people and much more. As if this does not get people upset that their children are stealing cars and killing people, the missions involve many more things including (aside from the previous list); stealing drugs, hijacking planes and military vehicles, blowing things up and more.
Many people believe that these games will cause their children to do these things. People claimed that the school shootings in Columbine happened because the kids were playing GTA3. A more logical explanation would be that the kids were bullied, teased and emotionally disturbed. When the latest GTA game came out, a lawyer by the name of Jack Thomson purchased the game to convince people that it should be banned. It is understandable that some people do not want their children to play the game, but what about those of us who's parents allow us to play or who are old enough to make the decision on our own.
