---- The reason I said that I think children will be naughty if they don't deserve christmass presents, that they will be naughty and do the same with the person in their circuit playing the role of santa claus, is that in south Africa it was once said on the news that children is inclined to violence if they play violent video games. Games with a negative impact can have a psychological effect on not only some children but on some adults, but not on every person. But Thomas thinks my opinion was well expressed, he thinks I didn't hurt anyone. But if list members feel that the games is enjoyable, that it is harmless fun, its a standpoint taken. It was just my opinion. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken the Crazy Sent: 21 September 2006 08:56 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] the negativity of santa claus in accessible games I agree 100%. I love Grand theft Auto, even though I can't play much of it--but does that mean I'm going to go out in the street and kill people after I play it? That's about as likely as me, going out in the street, yelling "panzer!" and a tank falling from the sky for me to drive.
