		<description>Couldnt care less...Push away the christians (those who whine and bitch) from the violent explicit horrofying games...there are still billions who LOVE the games they create, no loss...devs knows this.

Or better...leave the explicit games alone, and stick to that horny mushroomeating plumber in his eternal hunt for pussy (a char I find most disturbing and want removed, as he harmes my view on drugs!).</description>

		<description>Ernice I think the word your looking for in your title is &quot;doesn&#039;t&quot; - not a good start to your terrible argument. 
Now to the matter at hand. Your claim that your a gamer and a Christian is respectable but get off your hypocritical high-horse and smell the coffee. Your complaining about using the f-word in games where you kill people. I&#039;m no expert on the bible but isn&#039;t that against on of the 10 commandments?... Or does your bible say thou shalt not blow someone away and swear in the process. 
I agree with the uncalled for language too but but don&#039;t preach and hide behind your Christian believes to get your point across.</description>

		<description>Oh shut up Mechlord.  You and your meaningless charade on this threat has bee astonishing.

I&#039;ll say this one more time, no one is asking or attempting to change the industry, but giving gamers an option to mute strong language I think is a great option.

Andy you&quot;ll be surprised.  I was implemented in the first Battlefield title, and I&#039;m sure a few devs have read this article.  It&#039;s literally all over the internet.</description>

		<description>Christian or not - doesn&#039;t matter.
The fact that swear words are acceptable and to assume that everybody does it is just not right.  
I don&#039;t see how his argument is invalid.  Swear words may be a reality, but so is killing and war and poverty.  It doesn&#039;t make it right.  There are those of us out there who would rather disable foul language.  We&#039;ve not all been brought up with swearing parents or school friends.  I hate hearing swear words because I just don&#039;t see the point in it.  And for games to feel they must add them... don&#039;t over do it!</description>

		<description>Interesting, however your argument is invalid. Swear words are a reality, they show up in games, who cares. Most kids learn to swear though their parents and or friends. So I fail to see how video games are causing any further damage... Also, the majority of the gamer market is people 18+ if parents are buying 18+ games for their children then it is their fault. I don&#039;t think adults really care if they hear a swear word or two, I&#039;m sure they&#039;ve heard more in the workplace or on the street.</description>

		<description>You know, the points on this article could be vaguely valid if it wasnt for that &quot;because am a christian&quot;.

Yes, contra was great, didnt have voice acting, cause if it did, am pretty sure it would have some form of cussing. Still, how is it that its okay for all of ya on that side to relentlessly kill living creatures (in games) and not okay to hear fuck you? Anyone care to explain? What i find is wrong with asking developers to put a disable strong language feature is that it would create a precedence where anything would go. Yes, because your faith, that disallows you to hear cussing in games is just as valid as mine that forbids me to see anything blue in videogames. What about that?
I cant see nothing wrong either with asking devs to put an option to turn blue into red.</description>

		<description>So in this hypothetical Christian God of War game, would a sex scene with Lot and his daughters be included after the Escape From Sodom level, or would this part of the Bible be considered unnecessary?</description>

		<description>&quot;How in the world you would “swear you mouth off” and then call yourself Christian?&quot;

Wow, I totally forgot that verse that says, swear once and your ticket to heaven is void. It makes no difference at all if you swear a few times, Jesus still loves you. You can be a Christian and swear all the time, and you will still be a Christian. If a Muslim person has a clean mouth, does that mean he is really a Christian because he doesn&#039;t swear? 

Go read the bible again, and look for the part that says ALL HUMANS (Christians included) are like vile filth clothed in rags. The ONLY way to be cleansed, is through Christ, not yourself, if you think you can make yourself better through your own pathetic means by not cursing then you are just wasting your time. Now look, if you personally dislike swearing and all that, then good, that&#039;s a good thing. But don&#039;t use that to try and make out that you are higher and better than others (Which is what this article reeks off, intended or not), because that is a massive turn off for many people. 

Do you remember the story of the Prodical Son? Remember when the young son returns after all his wrong doing, his father kills the fattened calf for dinner and throws a party rejoicing that his son has returned, yet his elder son, who had stayed at home is angry, he questions his father actions, asking why his father never threw him a party. 

See, the younger son who left is a non Christian, and when he returns to his father (God) there is rejoicing for he is saved, it doesn&#039;t matter what he did, he is forgiven and saved. And the elder brother, is the Christian who never does anything wrong, who always did what he thought was right, but see he is wrong too, he thinks he is better and more worthy than others for his fathers blessing, when he is not. It&#039;s that kind of attitude which turns people away, not attracts people. 

And back to the point of your article. I really don&#039;t think turning off Gore, Swearing and Nudity is going to do much for anyone, if you have a problem with it, don&#039;t play games involving those. I think a better thing to ask for would be the inclusion of good morals, values and lessons behind the story&#039;s told in games. I think that would be a whole lot better than just removing simple surface parts of games. 

&quot;The last time a checked the bible said let not vile language come from your mouth.&quot;

Yes it does say that, and by reading your article, I can see you have included vile language from your own mouth in it. Dun dun dun!! So you are being hypocritical. 

&quot;But the bigger thing is… HOW IN THE WORLD IS ASKING DEVELOPERS TO GIVE AN OPTION TO GAMERS WHO DO NOT WANT TO HEAR STRONG LANGUAGE GIVING A BAD NAME TO CHRISTIANS?&quot;

It&#039;s not that, it&#039;s you being hypocritical about it.</description>

		<description>Mechlord, do you remember Contra? I&#039;m sure you do.  Those games were awesome, yes we shot baddies, yes it was war.  Yes people diead.  But you know what was never present? Strong language and NONE of us missed out on it.  It didn&#039;t exist and we didn&#039;t care.

And I still think none of us was asking for it.  But you know what? It&#039;s there and we deal with it.  BUT I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH AN OPTION TO DISABLE IT.</description>

		<description>New year, why would the devs go out of their way to create a precedence that would give them nothing but trouble, something that doesnt even add anything, does not correct nothing broke, would add hours or work and maybe bugs and wouldnt pay out? So that some misguided people could pretend to exercise their faith? I repeat this: nothing should be changed in the industry as long as the petition is made in the name of, specially religion. Then women would ask for an option to change the main character to a girl, i tell ya.</description>
