"Also, what would you rather have? A kid that plays Manhunt 2 who will not hurt anyone in real life or a man that is desperate for drugs so he takes a knife and goes out to kill you for your cash."
WTH is this? I have no idea what you're trying to get across? Are you saying that kids will ethier play Manhunt 2 or turn into drug crazed killers? If that was the case then let them play Manhunt 2 all they want, but I doubt that is the case.
You don't have control of the environment and directly interact with the gruesome act being performed such as in Saw and Hostel. So I fail to see how its a double standard.
Also, Joystiq, the biased meter is on its way to the moon. You complain so much about the unfair treatment the press gives video games, but you aren’t proving to be strong journalists here.
It seems like about 90% of the posts after mine were regarding it. I'm not going to argue with each and every single one, but I will address this one.

Yes, you're right, it can be applied in the reverse direction showing us their decision is somewhere in the middle, which is ideal.

I can't stand kids who complain about the oppression/censorship of their government when they have no idea what they are talking about. Countries like Libya, Iran, Syria to name a few; those are countries that oppress the liberal arts.
Assuming most of the people here live in the US and Great Britain, complain about a video game getting banned for being too graphic? Be happy that your government is doing a good enough job for you to be able to afford that quality of life. Unlike in other countries such as in India where a Xbox 360 cost people their entire annual income.
Hell, most of the people that are defending the BBFC are from England and know the organization. While most of you just started foaming at the mouth when you heard, "Manhunt banned."

Jun 19th 2007 8:08PM (Joystiq)Ok then
Pretend that Manhunt 2 is an interactive raping simulator of little girls instead of grusome acts of murder. Can you still defend its censorship?

Jun 19th 2007 7:30PM (Joystiq)I'm saying you should be happy you have those freedoms and not be whining about not being able to pretend killing someone.
You don't fully appreciate something until you don't have it anymore.

Jun 19th 2007 7:24PM (Joystiq)Have you ever even talked to your senator? Do you even know who it is?
The BBFC is its own organization such as the ESRB and only has a professional relation with the government.
So, where did corrupt politicians even come from?
Do you even know where you are?

An analogy to express my feelings from the previous post would be like a spoiled rich kid throwing a fit when he doesn't get his way.
