America Doesn't Torture... We Just Play Grand Theft Auto

Huffington Post Write: I believe if we are going to truly come to terms with abiding by moral codes against extreme acts of violence, we first have to start in our own living rooms to explore the increased levels of violence we witness on a daily basis that serves as news or entertainment.

Huffington post, you must have been Huffing something!
Don't compare Grand Theft Auto to torture, it is a video game for Christ's sake! If you know anything about torture, you should know it's far more creuel then anything you'd see in Grand Theft Auto.
Manhunt however......

Just more mainstream so called journalists dogging games. Let me say I am anti-torture. But the progressives are just mad because the country doesn't care. It just goes to show how biased all of Washington is. Same parties year after year, different faces, nothing changes. It all makes me sick. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

I can see where the author is coming from. That last Grand Theft Auto was pure torture.

The United States of America suspending the basic human rights it supposedly stands for in the name of "peace" and "freedom" is EXACTLY THE SAME THING as someone actually expressing their basic human rights.

The specific rights I speak of are the rights to freedom of speach and freedom of expression.

/sarcasm

To be frank, if you don't like what's on TV, don't watch it. Don't like a movie? Don't watch it. Video game? Don't play it. Music? Don't listen to it. Book? Don't read it. Mind your own damned business and stop complaining about every stupid little thing that other people are doing with their time.
