From the Paper:

"In the past few years, especially since the rise of the Grand Theft Auto series, there have been a few more voices publicly calling for tighter control on video games. While no one is arguing that children should not be playing games for adults, some of these voices argue that children are just about the only ones playing these games. And in that idea is the problem with most of those who criticize the gaming community. Most of the critics are people who have never played or seen that which they cry must be banned. Most of these people cannot tell a Playstation from an Xbox, yet they believe they know who is playing these games. To reinforce this theory, all one has to do is look closely at those who choose to play the part of video game advocate."
