Very sad story. Why is a 12 year old playing a game designed for adults?
There's nothing in there that says he played the game. In fact the story says he watched footage from the game with the victim. There's plenty of game footage all over YouTube, including,sadly, some of the graphic violent content from GTA. He may well have watched footage with her on YouTube. And despite the clikcbait headline, the story says "one such incident occurred" after watching this footage. It does not say it was the first,suggesting this was part of a continued pattern of assaults in which the GTA footage played a minor part. Focussing on the game avoids the far more troubling question of what the hell has gone on in this lad's head that sees that as being something he'd even think about, much less do

Indeed. It's fucked up, game or no game.

Thanks I bought a compression sleeve the other week to help. I've read a wrist splint helps at night, might give that a go also.

So maybe a follow on question is whether a 'game' should have rape scenes in it?

From what i understand. It doesn't. Again, from what i understand at most you see a rocking car to give the impression of a sexual act taking place. Again, this is just what i've read. The last GTA a played properly was still in birds eye view.

My name is Audrey and I have a problem.
I’m getting seriously addicted to horseradish sauce. I’ve always liked it but only had it with roast beef.
Now I have it on almost everything meaty - sandwiches or meals

If you know where to go you can did the stuff up yourself in late spring through to the autumn. Be warned it’s fucking fierce stuff, not like the tamed version from the supermarkets.

I've never really had sauces on meats before but the wife has got me into horseradish, mustard and wasabi and I now love the stuff!

I'm with you. I insisted on going out for a roast last Sunday. I wasn't really that bothered about the roast, it was the horseradish I was most inteersted in.

I've never really been a fan of ketchup. Always HP on bacon. I'm sure this has been done to death, but this could run for a bit!

At best it's a poor choice of words. How is skin colour relevant?
I also don't agree with his overall message that they should stop making Africa out to be desperate. Why does he think people are sending their money at all? I suspect a fuck ton of people in Africa really ARE that desperate. Ignorance from a politician? Fancy that!
