    Pope condemns violent/sexual videogames

    His holiness says violent and sexually explicit media, including games, are "repulsive" and "a perversion," particularly when aimed at minors.


    "Any trend to produce programs and products--including animated films and video games--which in the name of entertainment exalt violence and portray antisocial behavior or the trivialization of human sexuality is a perversion, all the more repulsive when these programs are directed at children and adolescents,'' the pope said.

          God **** it. First he tells me I shouldn't use a condom, now I can't shoot made up people.

          Sometimes, I hate being Catholic.

            People still take the pope seriously? That's interesting.

                    Starving children, terrorists, war, nuclear missles.

                    Yet the pope wants to talk about videogames.

                    We talking 'bout videogames, man.

                    Not reality. Not reality. We talking 'bout videogames.

                        I heard he also stated that the show Dateline undercover is decieving at nature and no one should be set up for having sexual relations with children.

                              LOL...now that was funny....

                              That literally mad me laugh out loud.

                              Seriously though, it's sad that people don't take the Pope as serious as in the past. Yes, the Catholic church does have some messy situations, but the Pope stands for what is moral and right in God's eyes. I don't think his comments on videogames are on target, but I think he deserves respect.
                              Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.
