Well said, but the heart of this argument isn't whether they can make this game or not, it's if we should accept it or reject it. Now, I agree with mostly everything GAAZ mentioned when comparing JFK to Hitler. Both leaders did good things and bad things, and it is not deranged to compare them, just a way of expressing a point. Most of you are sickened by this game because you admire JFK. Knowing this, you refuse to accept this game because it portrays his death. So what? His death has been portrayed in many other forms of media. It's just now finally come to video games. We are not upset about the fact that his death is being portrayed, we're upset that we have the ability to do it ourselves. But therein lies the separation between fiction and reality. Most of us here can acknowledge that the events in the game are obviously fact, but that it was a tragic event. We also know better than to go out and try it ourselves. What it comes down to once again is the level of intelligence one possesses. This game isn't going to increase the number of "Video Game Induced" acts of violence. It's simply going to be another excuse for conservatives to say video games are bad, but look, we're already doing it.

Quote:
Lieberman has been criticized by many computer and video game players for his stance on video games; he is a strong supporter of video game censorship. As a Senator he inspired the advent of the Entertainment Software Rating Board. The Entertainment Software Association is against governmental regulation of or restriction on video games. Therefore, the organization opposes Lieberman. He has been known many times to denounce the violence contained in video games and has made attempts to regulate sales of violent video games to minors.


Zane it's unfair to say "Conservatives" are against video game violence when there are democrats against it as well.

And my comparing of JFK to Hitler doesn't mean JFK was a bad president. I simply took someone that most people in America hold as the greatest thing since sliced bread and took him down a peg. I then took one of history's greatest atrocities and brought him up a peg to level the playing field.

JFK was one of the best democrat turned republican presidents we had. He cut taxes to stimulate the job market and decided to stand up for America instead of negotiate with terrorists or get the rest of the world to help him stop the Cuban Missile Crisis.


And on that note I'm backing out of the conversation all together. In fact I think a lock is in order since the jist of the game has been presented and anyone who is going to voice their opinion has voiced it.
