As far as I am aware this does not get you your licence but lets you fly without having to get it.

You don't need to go to all that trouble, there's an open gate near the airport (you'll need to drive around to find it), you just drive in, smash the fence (or use the ramp to jump it) down in your car and you're onto the airstrip, you can then fly a cessna or learjet look-a-like to your hearts content.

There is no doubting the fact that the widespread availability of sexually explicit and graphically violent video games makes the challenge of parenting much harder

As usual games are used as a scapegoat for bad parenting. It is likely the mods where put in by the hackers, and even if they were not the game already has the highest rating possible. I think its pretty obviously she is running for the nomination.

I thought it had a 'mature' rating and the highest was 'adults only'? I've no idea what the actual content of the mod is, all I've heard is that it involves a lot of sex (I think they mean consenting otherwise they would probably have called it rape). IMO it's a warped sense of priorities where sex (consenting) in video games calls for a higher rating than indiscriminate killing.

Never played GTA though but it's tempting to go out and get it just to see what all the fuss is about

I have witnessed at first hand how even very young children can pick up and act out what they see on a TV screen. Admittedly in my son's case it tends to be Bill and Ben the Flowerpot men running around their garden, but nevertheless ...

I know there is an age restriction on GTA but even so, are older brothers always careful who's around when they play it? You can't expect an 18 year old to have the same level of awareness of the impressionability of a very young child that you would expect from a parent. Good grief, you're daft if you expect responsible behaviour from parents, sometimes ...

When Hillary Clinton says that video games like these make the challenge of parenting harder, she is absolutely, unquestionably correct. Parents who care about what their children see already have to be very vigilant.

How did I know it was Hilary and not Bill? That woman is a nightmare. You are spot on in your first sentence. I can't bear to think what will happen if she becomes president. And you lot think Bush is bad...

Must not commment.........

I can understand some people stating that some games are making it harder to parent apropriately but is that a reason to demand the end to games like GTA?

Never underestimate the oversized self importance of a do-gooding liberal.

I'm sorry, but this is about the "Hot Coffee" scandal .... I don't know if any of you have seen the video of this Mod/Hack, but based on that alone it should be 18+, especially as the designers are NOT denying the existence of this stuff within the game, just that *they* didn't give access to it on release.

**Maggy** · 14-07-2005, 18:01

It's the double standards of the whole thing that gets me.It's ok for all the graphic violence in GTA but not sex?Why isn't Hilary getting excited about the former if video games are supposed to have such an influence on the young?

Here's a great article from The Reg that talks about Hilary Clinton's outrage at this mod... I love this quote

Quote:

Indeed, we suspect that Clinton's indignation may have something to do with the fact that an as-yet-unconfirmed mod called "Lewinsky" allows GTA gamers to blast their way into the Oval Office using semi-automatic rifles and then receive the kind attentions of a plump and shameless hussy called Monika who groans: "Oh yeah, you the man! Yeah, give it to me Bill!" while chewing on a big, fat... cigar.

If I remember correctly though, not only was the hot coffee section of the game deactivated, chunks of the code where even removed from the game. Meaning it was entireley down to the modding community that this feature was re-added and not rockstar.

For example, I used to play unreal tournament a lot, someone had a naked skin of Xena warrior princess as their player in game, does that mean unreal should have been X-Rated? I doubt it.

Also, like I think a lot of people have allready said, in terms of being inappropriate killing > sex.
