Doing the right thing
The video game "25 To Life" is due out in stores this month. The object of this game is to kill LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is putting together an on-line petition to boycott this game. I am asking each of you to go to their web site and please sign the petition and pass along this info to your family and friends. http://nleomf.com Let's take a stand for what is right ... please, visit the Memorial web site and sign the petition in memory of all of our fallen officers. I know some might respond that children won't mimick these games, and for the most part that's true, however there is a small percentage of kids who are literally raised on video games, and it is for these children that a line needs to eventually be drawn, enough is enough, glorify the "gansta" image long enough and many will start to follow (already happening).

you bet i signed it..i work in a school.a 3rd grader was raising h*** in the lunchroom.i went over to talk to him..he said "this is the gangsta table".i told him there ain't no gangstas in 3rd grade,not while i'm around.
needless to say eventually this kid was sent to a special school becuse he wouldn't play by the rules...3rd grade!!!! where the he** are his parents? this is getting out of hand now....where are our kids headed?..jail or dead.

raising wha? would that be hash? lol 3rd grade gangstas... thats never been there when i was in 3rd grade. there were cool kids who spiked their hair, but no gangstas. i think its older brothers and stuff. like my friend let his 7 year old brother play vice city. do you know if the 3rd grade had any relatives? i know the blood gang is at perth amboys... i know one kid whose brother is in that gang. its all siblings, dont blame it on the parents, they dont know half the stuff their kids do

hmm youve got a point. but on the parent's defense, id have to say, kids are very damn smart. we can hide lots of facts, sneak out of touble... take for example what happened to zookers boat. many parents do try but not many succeed. to find out everything, youd need to question every bit of behavior in school, ask all friends how we hang out, upturn ever part of the kids room. checking emails and internet doesnt do a thing. my mom checks my email. but hey, kids even know how to delete history, files, viruses and stuff like that.

To me, it is hypocritical to boycott this game and not boycott all shooter games where you are killing humans, cops or not.

you cant spell crap without rap...
Personally, I would say ban these types of games, but please leave the FPS games like Halo, Doom, and all the others. The gang type games should go, but FPS, is one of the biggest game types played by millions online.

Signed and will voice my opinion on the subject. 75% of the younger population has the attitude of not giving a damn about athorative figures. I wholelly agree that the problem lies within the grasp of the parents but on the same hand we have been our own enemy. We have allowed the public to get to much control or to give to many rights to the younger set. What I mean is there aint a kid out there that hasnt heard"I'll call DHS or the law if you spank me" I firmly beleive in if you spare the rod you spoil the child. Not saying my kids are any better than anyone elses, I gurantee you they are rotten to the core but I will bet my last dollar that they knowif they go to far they gonna get there *** busted and it dont matter where we are at.

parents have tons of stuff to do dude... yeah they need to know what their children are doing, but do they have the time or extreme wit for it? and fyi parents cant watch their kids all over the place, like at friends houses outside ect. parents need some responsibility, but the children are the bigger part and need to take some maturity onto themselves
