Eh I don't really care for gta. Though it has nothing to do with it's mature content. I don't like it simply because it makes you drive around all.the.time and that is just so incredibly boring.

I've played Terranigma, therefore Portal 2 sucks.

See the flaw in that logic? You're comparing a puzzle game to a wide-open sandbox game, while having not played the latter.

I live in America, what happens in Australia is up to the Australians. I mean, would you like it if I signed a petition that would influence the country greatly, in a less than pleasant way, that caused only suffering and anger?
Besides, I doubt my signature would be of any help, as I have no idea who wants what in Australia, and until I actively go there and learn the culture, likely never will beyond second hand stories via the internet.

Yes but this affects Australia in a positive way.

For example if There was a petition to HELP prevent rape in Africa I will sign it because im not selfish.

Some gamers in Australia would not think of it as positive.
Now there's a fundamental difference between violent video games and rape. (I shall refer to the former as VVGs for the sake of time.)
Now, VVGs are games that are violent. Whether or not they make people violent are another argument. Rape is a heinous act of sexual violence that mentally and emotionally scars people, I should know, because there are a few people at my who who were raped.

Now, if there was indeed a petition to help stop rape in Africa, a petition wouldn't really do anything. Petitions don't stop illegal activities, it's people who stop illegal activities.
If I was given the political power to go to Africa, round up every rapist, and castrate them with a cigar cutter (for males) or render them unable to have sex without extreme pain (females) then I would do so.
As I cannot, and since I have no power over anything beyond making it known to the people around me that stuff like that was happening, I can do nothing, except spread the word.
Now, there are programs that teach women how to protect themselves from potential rapists, and I've read stories of how people stopped rapes, so there is something beyond police action being done.

Returning to games; games are simply virtual simulations of events. GTA is no exception. Sure, some people will not play it, but it's their personal desire. Whereas there are people who want to play it, and the same goes for them.
You and other people choosing to prevent people from making that choice, of making them incapable of obtaining said game except illegally, is morally wrong in my point of view.
Chances are, there will be a counter petition, or people will simply go over the law if it is made into a law.
Ultimately, like the rape petition scenario, the plan is doomed to failure.

I apologize if this topic is causing people discomfort or said people are offended. I am simply arguing against his logic in a clear and (hopefully) concise way. I personally hope all rapists are euthanized in a painful manner, mainly due to how heinous their actions are.

It doesn't make it right in your view. The hallmark of human society is free will to do that which you desire, it is the decision of each person do decide what is right and wrong, and regardless of what other people say, some will have completely reversed moralities, or even moralities that seem strange to me and you. Take, for instance, Muslim communities versus American communities. By tradition in Muslim communities, women are seen as inferior and must hide all but their eyes. In typical American communities, women are seen as independent and can wear whatever they want. To some, one way is right and the other wrong. To others, the inverse is correct.
An example of such.

Now, I leave these parting words, spoken by a well known and loved character from an awesome show.

You really are taking this one game a bit too seriously, aren't you? I very much doubt you even have good intentions behind wanting to prohibit GTA 5 in Australia. You just really hate Rockstar for your usual silly reasons.

You're acting like this is the end of the world. If somebody really wants to see violence just for the thing itself, that person will not only find much more horrible video games than GTA, he/she probably won't look for it from a video game in general.

Your dam right I hate Rockstar they are the Micheal Bay of gaming just relying of shock value and crudeness they also made that Manhunt game I mean they cant make a game without violence tits and swearing ever millasecond I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THE HOT COFFEE MOD.

And idiots around the world buy into mainstream hype too much and another thing Skull if I didnt have good intentions and I was only ripping into you I wouldnt of create a facebook profile just for it.

I am actually having trouble sleeping becasue of it I mean cmon even you people must find swearing every second quite that Hot coffee mod well technically it wasnt a mode it was just locked content from rockstar but just the ordasity of them just want me to to kill every Rockstar employee and there families if they have any.

Rockstar games nuh more Pornstar games are one of the reasons why I hate the US.

Okay, stop having a nervous breakdown. Video games really don't matter when it comes to society. So a bunch of people want a video game, let them have it, otherwise those people are going to complain to their government that they don't want that game banned, not to mention there's no culturally abhorrent thing located within the game as far as I know.
I don't like rap, or most music released in this day and age. Therefore, I listen to music from video games. You don't see me trying to create or sign petitions to have rap or dubstep banned because I know that inevitably my time will be wasted as people will look at me like I'm an idiot for trying to force other people to conform to my viewpoint.
You don't like the game, don't play it. That just means that the company will not get your money, and if you really want to make a difference, support indie developers, talk about how much better indie developers are in comparison to companies like Rockstar (it helps to have a well thought out conversation) and convince people to try the games out.

Speaking of which, there's this awesome game called MARDEK created by a guy known as Pseudolonewolf. You should play it.

I'm glad that my advice can help out. One good program that I enjoy is RPG Maker. It's a program that allows you to create your own video games, though you're typically stuck with making an RPG game with a simple battle system, but you can create games that don't need battles, or you can set up the battle system to where you're 'arguing' or something. You can even change the game play through scripting so that you have an entirely different game.
I currently use RPG Maker VX Ace Lite, which is a free, but limited, version that is useful for learning how to use the program.

I've been trying to avoid involving myself in another discussion with Pred but -.-

I miss the good old days were video games were more creative an fun.

This is more of a matter of personal opinion. Yeah, games used to be a lot different, more unique. They were classics. Games have evolved over the years, become more complicated, have a lot of new bells and whistles. While certain old games are always fun to play even as much as 20 years later in some cases, if not more, what newer games can do is have a potentially more rich experience or much more complex game mechanics, far more in depth than anything from the old days. Someone like me enjoys something like that a lot more than something like old 16 bit games. But this is one person's opinion.

As for Grand Theft Auto, the series is known for being a little over the top, sometimes over the line. Personally, I don't dislike GTA in any way. GTA is a good series, that when the first game came around, brought something new to the table. Over the line in many cases, but it was new and unique, and it caught on quick, and became popular. But do I own GTA 5? No. Mainly because I have no money, but I also played a lot of GTA4 and I just got tired of it pretty quick. It's not really my type of game.

Pred, I mean no disrespect, but you need to learn that not everyone will share the same opinion as you, and you need to stop being so pushy with what you think is right. Not everyone will agree, which has been evident time and time again. I'm tired of your self-centered-ness, which is why I've been avoiding any sort of comment until now. I had a strong opinion I wanted to share that was contrary to yours. And I expect you to insult me in response, and telling me how wrong my OPINION is. Deal with it.

I have to side with Skull on this, Pred. Being spiritual or religious doesn't mean people are ass-backwards idiots without common sense. You know common sense, like it's common sense to not bring in religion in your arguments when nobody even mentions it. Like it's common sense to not use insane troll logic when someone doesn't like you.

Ahead of the times, Pred. Ahead of the times. Newton is one of the biggest blunders of Western history. He's credited with all kinds of things he did not discover or invent. This has to do with the heavy politics of science during his era, when every nation in Europe was vying to be "the best" at the sciences. (After the Enlightenment, science became the only avenue for "truth," and those who held the highest positions in science were therefore imbued with the authority over everything that was true or knowledgable. We're still dealing with this issue today.)

Ancient people knew about gravity long before Newton ever wrote anything about it. All Newton did was apply calculus to the phenomenon of gravity in order to describe and predict the behavior of falling/moving objects.

On that note, Newton did not invent calculus, either. Bhaskara II of India invented calculus nearly 500 years before Newton or Leibniz came up with it. (In fact, there's some suspicion that both men may have stolen the mathematics from scholars/priests who visited Europe.)

Furthermore, Newton did not invent optical physics, either. He likely got most of the material for his book "Optiks" from Alhazen, an Egyptian scholar who wrote another book that just happened to be titled "Optics" nearly half a century before Newton.

I stand up to what I truly believe whats right.

So does every Christian, and every Muslim, and every person whose viewpoint is different. Hell, I stand up for my belief that I am non-physically both a Dire Wolf and a Dragon, that the world is made of energy, that I am an empath, and that ghosts and spirits exist.

I have used Logic and justification to prove my points.

And so have I. Therianthropy is a widespread phenomena, I experience non-human thoughts and phantom limbs, E=mc2, I have personal experiences where I sensed a person's emotions before even seeing or hearing them, and I've encountered spirits before.

If there werent people like me we would be still in the Dark Ages.

If there were not people like you here, we would have less bigoted, selfish pansies who do nothing but she dog and moan about how life sucks because they didn't get something. Also, in my opinion, the Westboro idiots would not exist.

Ive actually been to a church once and its was utter rubbish.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, in the Age of Enlightenment, many critical thinkers saw religion as antithetical to reason. For them the Middle Ages, or "Age of Faith", was therefore the polar opposite of the Age of Reason.[27] Kant and Voltaire, among others, were vocal in attacking the religiously dominated Middle Ages as a period of social regress, while Gibbon in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire expressed contempt for the "rubbish of the Dark Ages".[28] Yet just as Petrarch, seeing himself on the threshold of a "new age", was criticizing the centuries until his own time, so too were the Enlightenment writers criticizing the centuries until their own. These extended well after Petrarch's time, since religious domination and conflict were still common into the 17th century and beyond, albeit diminished in scope.

Skull, I haven't mentioned Theianthropy in quite a while, so don't you go there.
Now, I was giving a counter argument to what Pred was talking about.
In all of the posts I've posted in, in every topic I've made, I've only mentioned it 3 to 15% out of 100% of topics I've taken part of after initially telling everyone, and only if it were related to the topic and/or if someone directly asked me. I've kept it toned down like you asked out of respect for you.
My tagline is not apart of that previous statistic, that is there simply for identification purposes. I could go all out and explain every single shift that happens, and that would irritate everyone, but I'm not going to, because I'm not an idiot.

I'm willing to say about 60% of your posts from the last year and the half have in one way or another had something to do with bringing out your therianism. Enough is enough. I don't think you should bring it so much to subjects that have nothing to do with it. I doubt the people on your therian forums even bring out their therianism as much as you do here.

First off, yeah, you right. They don't. Mainly because they are self conscious and think that other people will think them freaks or something (Not to mention that most non-Theri forums are filled with donkeys). Second, it's Therianthropy. Therianism isn't even the proper word and is a bit of a berserk button for me. I'm asking you to stop referring to it as that, please. Third: I only mention in topics when it is useful as a valid point.

They probably think they're freaks because there's guys like you who can't stop babbling about it to everyone, making people sick and tired of hearing about them, and being mean because of that. The other reason is probably all the furries and R34 people in the group. And saying most non-Theri forums are filled with donkeys is a bit of a stretch, wouldn't you think?

Second, it's Therianthropy. Therianism isn't even the proper word and is a bit of a berserk button for me. I'm asking you to stop referring to it as that, please.

You can't be serious with this. Well, EXCUSE ME for getting the name of your silly spiritual wolf-connection religion wrong. You know very well what I meant. Nitpicking like this is another thing that sometimes makes you a very annoying person to me. I don't mind you correcting me about the term, but why're you so butthurt about a small thing like that? It's the equivalent of someone calling a Dinker a "Dinkist". Besides, I doubt there even is an actual official term for Therianthropy. If that actually is an official term, I deeply apologize for my unholy actions of calling a thing with name other than its real one.

Third: I only mention in topics when it is useful as a valid point.

This is my main problem. Because it's not true. Most of the time the thread in no-way requires you to mention that you're a therian, yet you do all the time. There was no actual reason to bring it up in this thread either. For some reason you feel it's necessary to bring it up in almost every subject, all the time, and whether consciously or unconsciously, use the most clever ways to do so.

As I said, I have nothing against therians nor you being one, but you seem to need to get it mentioned every possible chance you get, and this is what gets on my nerves.

We know that you are a Therian, KrisKnox. It is pretty cool actually and I regret stating it as just an imaginatory furry thing a while back, sorry.

These things must be pretty sensitive to talk about on a non-therian-board? I think it requires a lot of courage for a Therian to actually reveal their spirit animal and related things to other non-therian-people, sooo good job KrisKnox!

Non-therians may think of Therians being regular furries with a twist, the spirit thing. The furry/therian line is hard to distinguish. It must be tough for a Therian on the internet filled with furries and R34:ers (lol).

I'm a proud Dinkist myself.

First: I'm not babbling about it, while there are some furries who are Theri, the ones that I've talked to and even seen their FA account, they don't draw porn or R34 shoot. Also, a lot of forums that I've been to have had a lot of donkeys who berate me for so much as mentioning my artwork, calling me a fabulous furfag and whatnot, even if I show only a picture of a werewolf character. So, yeah. Internet is full of donkeys, but there are sites, like this one, that aren't.

Second: The reason why I get angry about it is because the way 'therianism' sounds makes it sound like a religion. It's not. Therianthropy is a person feeling that they are non-physically a different animal. Sure, there are people who think of it in a spiritual context, many Wiccans, pagans, even Christians. Many others think it's simply a mental thing (See Species Dysphoria.) And please don't be a snide jerkass because I have a tendency to nitpick.

Third: I did have a valid reason to bring it up. I was using it as an example. Here it is in context:

So does every Christian, and every Muslim, and every person whose viewpoint is different. Hell, I stand up for my belief that I am non-physically both a Dire Wolf and a Dragon, that the world is made of energy, that I am an empath, and that ghosts and spirits exist.

In context, it's a perfectly valid point. I do realize that you have no beef with me or any other Therian, and maybe if you want I could give you a link to the site I moderate so that you can see what we do within context. In any case, it would be best to drop the subject here before things get too out of control.

@Quiz: Thank you, Quiz, both for the kindness and the apology. Yes, it is a pretty sensitive thing to talk about, when I told everyone a while back ago, that was me showing trust towards everyone in general. I don't give trust easily for unrelated matters.

So, yeah. Internet is full of donkeys, but there are sites, like this one, that aren't.

But you are babbling about it. Otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation. The difference between me and the haters is that I'm not judging the entire therian community only because you do that. About the R34 stuff, it's impossible to say whether others are into things like that or not. It could just as easily turn out you're the only therian out of the group you're in, that isn't a furry and into R34. And I really have nothing against those people either, I was just pointing out that there are probably a lot of them in the therian community, and that is one of the major reasons therians think they're freaks.

Second: The reason why I get angry about it is because the way 'therianism' sounds makes it sound like a religion. It's not.

Nothing there that changes the fact that you were being ridiculously pedantic. Almost like ThePunisher; ignoring the ACTUAL point I was making and picking up anything you could to argue against in my post.

Third: I did have a valid reason to bring it up. I was using it as an example. Here it is in context:

It was all well to the point of mentioning Christians, Muslims, even about your own beliefs of ghosts existing and that the world is made of energy. But you just HAD to bring up the therian stuff. There really wasn't a reason to do that at all. We all know you're one already, and it gets tiring to see you bring it up in every post. But most annoying thing is the reason you brought it up is obviously not so you could make a valid point, but to just let everyone know, once again, that you're a therian. Again, almost like ThePunisher. He keeps coming up with the most clever ways to badmouth religion and porn, while you come up with clever ways to get to mention that you're a therian.

When it's all said and done, it's kinda like homosexuals. I have nothing against them, but I don't like them being force-fed to me by the media, and especially by a homosexual person him/herself.

Given that there are literally thousands of Theri out there, I doubt that I am the only one not turned on by R34. I'm not being pedantic, I was explaining why I was irritated by that. But, by all means, explain to me the point you were trying to make, seeing as I often don't get the point. (I'm not being sarcastic, I often miss the point.) And the last point, very well. I will try to prevent myself from babbling about Therianthropy. Though, I would very much like it if you would do some research. (Not meant in a negative way, and in no way saying that you should.)

I'm not saying you're the only theri, as you call them, who isn't involved with R34. But I very much doubt that there wouldn't be tons of those R34 people and furries involved in the community. My point was that you most likely wouldn't even know if many of the therians you know through the internet were, and just didn't feel it necessary or were too ashamed to bring it out into the open. Anyway, R34 wasn't even one of my actual points in this conversation. Only reason I brought it up is because I didn't want to give the entire blame of therians being ashamed, to the babbling people.

And the last point, very well. I will try to prevent myself from babbling about Therianthropy. Though, I would very much like it if you would do some research. (Not meant in a negative way, and in no way saying that you should.)

I don't really understand how me doing research would help. I may very well some day research more into the community and then know it a little bit better, although I understand it fairly well already, I feel. But that really has nothing to do with bringing the subject up all the time. Really, it doesn't matter what the subject even is. For instance, I know pretty much everything I need to about bread. This doesn't change the fact that if you constantly brought up the subject of bread and how much you liked it, would probably be very tiring and quickly get annoying.

There's a lot about the Therian community that I haven't even begun to talk about, (Not going to start now unless someone asks,) and 'Theri' is a term generally used in Therian communities.

And why should you? Why should you talk about it outside the therian community? I really see no point to that, unless you are trying to convert people.

And let me make it clear, I see no problem if somebody creates a therian thread, and you participate in it. I think it would be great if you found a friend by someone being therian and also a Dinker. I see no problem either if somebody brings the subject up first or is genuinely interested in the subject, and you talk to that person about it. Or if somebody insulted you about being a therian and you felt the need to defend yourself. Heck, I don't even see a problem if you created your own thread about it, because at least then you'd be upfront about it.

It's just that you constantly bring it up in non-related discussions and seem to use every opportunity to come with these clever ways to almost "market" the therian community and you belonging in it. I'm sorry if saying that insults you, but it seriously does feel that way.
