the perfect example is tv: swear gods are filtered, even the mouth of the person whos saying it is blurred. The united states is hypocritical to the point of being absurd. Then name a first-world country where something bad would happen to you if you said that. I live in the United States, and I can go on any forum I want and sayДЄnd nothing bad is going to happen to me.

if you think it's anywhere close to being the worst first-world country as far as censorship goes, you're way off-target. Im all for freedom of speech, but i wouldnt mind if some certain individuals (not from this thread though, necessarily! just some people in my life) were officially told to shut the # up every once in a while, because nothing productive comes out of them I can admire it for creativity as an art, but it's really just another sucky title feeding money out of the dull principle that violence sells. I oppose censorship, but I can't justify defending a game like this from my lack of interest in violence for violence's sake. I generally despise any censorship, but I will intentionally fail to defend this game from censorship. If that happened, wow would humanity ever be changed. So stay open-minded, stay informed, recognize greed in youself and avoid it, and respect others. In fact, a lot of evil in our world is created as a byproduct of those failings. The real enemies of good are not the nanoscopically small portion of evil people, but rather ignorant apathy and corrupting greed. A few evil people are balanced by the overwhelming numbers of people who are truely good at heart. There exists a balance of good and evil in the world. But on the other hand, MOST people out there are neutral or good. Most of you little pretenders who say you are desensitized or some crap like that would probably be puking your guts out. If I could show you some of the evidence left from real criminal murders and brutal rapes I've seen from a friend of mine who works with the real NYPD CSI. Pff, Manhunt is creative, but on the gore factor. It's going to be a long, long time before the US ever tells adults that they cannot play a video game no matter what.Д®dit: Richard Cheney, dear forum censors. If I wrote it on a sign I might be detained for a day or something, I dunno how that works, but I'm not going to disappear (unless I look Arab in which case I get to find out what Guantanamo's like).

I could probably show up outside the White House screaming it and they'd just send a security guard to shoo me away. If I were able to kill George Bush, # Cheney, and the Supreme Court in an explosion, Pelosi would become president and be able to appoint a whole new Supreme Court and that would be awesomeДЄnd nothing bad is going to happen to me. I live in the United States, and I can go on any forum I want and say Their being able to control what games you play, in the privacy of your own home, is more Orwellian than it is Libertarian.ДЄnd DiscoZombie, the US has more flaws than anyone can list, but if you think it's anywhere close to being the worst first-world country as far as censorship goes, you're way off-target. The whole point of Libertarianism is that the government stays out of your life as much as possible. If you're a Libertarian then I'm a fundamentalist Christian. I remember the first Manhunt had some really disturbing death animations you could pull off and I didn't really enjoy the way the gore was presented.
