		<description>&quot;It was one of the mildest, silliest things I think I’ve ever played, with not much more violence than you’d see on network TV or would come across in a real high school. And the main character is trying to MAKE PEACE with all of the bullying groups of the school, not pick on innocent kids.&quot;

That&#039;s part of what made the game so cool in the first place. In the game footage they&#039;ve been showing on the televisions around here, you only see ONE piece of gameplay footage involving a gun, and even then you can tell it&#039;s a Super-Soaker type. This is just another attempt by people who are politically motivated against any groundbreaking or alterstream (what I call the alternative to mainstream) media to try and influence what we do. Just because this is the same people behind GTA and Manhunt doesn&#039;t mean all their games focus on the immoral activities some people choose to participate in. I can come up with at least three games made by larger companies than Rockstar that should be restricted for some of the content they have, and they&#039;re choosing to go after THIS?!

Another thing to think about--how many of these teachers actually sat down and played this game to its fullest when it was first released? Obviously they didn&#039;t, because they would have known better. It&#039;s the Dogma Effect--people trash on a project until they experience it, and they realize that the content was not at all what they had been imagining it to be. Tell you what--play the game, THEN come back to us, and we&#039;ll see if your opinion stays the same. Until then, keep your political motivations to yourself and let the gaming public decide its fate.</description>

		<description>Amazing how the school board admits no liability when one of it&#039;s social experiments goes off.  Hell of a lobby to fight against, when it&#039;s an entirely welfare economy (a very well paid one at that).

Truth is, education comes from the concept of straw into bricks. Learning how to deal with things like food, waste, fresh water and recycling add value in quality of life. The value of education they teach is questionable.

So what if some students got together and mock their sacred cow, some of them deserve it (as most can likely attest).</description>

		<description>This makes me wonder about the education of children. These teachers don&#039;t seem to have any problem stomping on freedom of speech and thought, and yet they have the power to do it more so than anyone else by teaching to-be citizens what thoughts and actions are right or wrong.</description>

		<description>Played the original on Ps2 and it was reasonable. Well done enough that it did not annoy the hell out of me and kept me playing. Those moving for this to be banned don&#039;t and will likely never understand that the game is built as a comedic look on a school&#039;s user structure, not some bullying-simulator. The school that this game presents to the player is already a joke in terms of the hierarchy of staff and students, to the point that any sane individual can see that any wrongdoing is justifiable simply due to it being so unreal.
Maybe if Rockstar had thrown in some drugs and violent gang interaction it would be as bad as these four-million people try to make it seem. To themselves, if no one else, that is.</description>

		<description>i remember playing this on ps2 and in all honesty i found it a dumbed down version of GTA if anything, and in the game the main character helps out some teachers, nerds and even the lunch lady at times. bullying has and always will happen its pack mentality, humans at the core are no different then most animals (grouping up and picking on the weak) so banning a video game will stop this?? pffffft what a joke how about people actually be parents and if their kid is being a bully give him a smack across the head.... 

hey a little amount of discipline never hurt a kid (im not talking constant beatings), why do you think so many teenagers are messed up in this day and age? because parents try to be friends with their kids not PARENTS!!... ok ill stop i could rant about this forever.</description>

		<description>I played it on PS2 &amp; didn&#039;t like it that much (God of War! FTW!).
As far as banning of this is concerned, I&#039;m totally with #22 ELCouz. If voilence is the problem, then they should strt with boxing and all forms of martial art, then they should hang Bas Rutten and line up the WWE wrestlers against the wall to face a firing sqad. Then they should track down and neuter / spay all the SOB commenters @ Rlslog just like myself... etc etc. And finally decide whether to ban this game or not. (Damn those pansy a5s baastards! Ok fellas let&#039;s gang up against them &amp; have some quality time. ;) )</description>

		<description>The search of relevance is more often tied to low self-esteem and self-esteem is the battle already half lost.

She&#039;s better off alone then swinging off Uncle Sam&#039;s tit and you&#039;re only holding her back. If she ever got free there&#039;ll be hell to pay, eh? 

I really hope she gets you.</description>

		<description>QFT D-Tox..

With such saturation in our society of the seedier side of human nature.. it&#039;s absolutely bound to rub off on a certain weak willed section of society.. and it&#039;s exactly this type of person, who whilst being able to tell right from wrong, still finds it impossible to restrain or control himself..

As for this game.. to me it looks bloody terrible, a pointless waste of time and HD space.. there are people with such inadequate mental faculties that they will be amused by it and tempted to.. for example.. dunk heads and strip and photograph (slap happy, a phrase which I find utterly vile, happens already.. it&#039;s certainly not going to take much to devolve into something else.)

The fact of the matter is that 18+ WON&#039;T be playing this game because it is simply purile and lame.. it&#039;s only going to appeal to the very section who should not be playing it.. but Rockstar know all this anyway... Personally I WOULD ban this game, it&#039;s too stupid for adults and completely unsuitable for children.</description>

		<description>I kind of see it as a ploy for the need of lobby. 

It&#039;s usually pay the protection money or we&#039;ll screw you. 

They&#039;re terrorists, nothing more (I wonder if it&#039;s ethical to say tax money to begin with-SOME of these teachers are glorified welfare recipients). The perfect little scam worthy of Clinton or 70&#039;s - 80&#039;s Canada.

Same kind of thing has happened to the movie industry, TV, music and will likely happen to anyone else who has content for public consumption. This one is just a bit more obvious because of the Internet and gaming are often intertwined (gaming forums). 
The gaming industry is often more lucrative, considering it sometimes low overhead, often beats other forms of media and is still rapidly expanding.

The gaming industry is lucrative to say the least, considering it often beats other forms of media and is still expanding.

It&#039;s likely, some protection money will have to be paid (traded) at some point in time. If this is the time, the interested who&#039;s and why&#039;s need to be privately identified (keep in mind time is money and the longer this is put off, the more money is saved).</description>

		<description>I was wondering what was this &quot;Columbine&quot; thing cuz someone was talking about it.....So I checked it up the Net and I was like shocked. 
        I am just an 18 year old guy who like everybody else likes playing a Rated/violent games and watchin movies . I dont know why people/teenagers cant draw a line between right and wrong. But I do think that violent games and movies do contribute to things like school shooting, whatever the rating be of a game even a 10 year old can get it from anyone/internet etc. so its not foolproof there. I don&#039;t live in America so I don&#039;t know how things are there.... the other reason is easily available weapons and many other factors.....maybe I went a bit off topic here its just that I am shocked from what I have read about Columbine                      
                           Now I get this feeling even Bully is a bad game cuz of its violence - maybe not much but still .......I am not here to say things like &quot;Ban all FPS/violent games&quot; cuz in no way thats gonna happen.....</description>
