| Message | How is it attempting to control the people? On the contrary, is informing the people. But then I suppose the RPC would like to keep the people ignorant wouldn't they? -Carole Farrow |

| Message | It's a rating system you idiot. You know how a rating system works? If people want to be informed then they can read the fucking description on the box, or in the magazine or on a website. The entire thing is essentially set up for lazy fucking parents who want to blame society for their own fucking incompetence, and for the government to tell everyone who should and shouldn't play these games. So don't come at me with that bullshit, because you don't know anything about having an informed citizenry, especially when you yourself are so ignorant on issues it's not even funny. |

| Message | Swearing does no good for your cause, Oh and by the way, no game is going to come out and say, this game has tons of violence and will turn your children into physopaths, Why can't the RPC just listen to common sense for once instead of being so dogmatic and appealing to the lowest common denominator! -Carole Farrow |

| Message | Spare me your puritan outrage. I will use whatever fucking words I feel like using. Kids won't turn into psychopaths from playing a violent game, and that's a fact. Your complete inability to accept this reality is a sad reflection upon your mental faculties. In the same way, using the phrase 'common sense' does your perceived intellectual ability absolutely no good at all. In fact, it once more shows your inability to consider new ideas and your stringent adherence to your pre-conceived notions. |
