well… my plasma grenade is complete… it just won’t stick to anything… so crisis is almost eminent…
but being serious…
I think we’re all agreeing here, Kappa everything you’ve posted says the same thing as everyone who’s posted on here. The rating system works, laws won’t pass, it’s the parents duty. It always has been, when I was young I couldn’t watch the terminator until like 2 years after it came out. My parents didn’t want me to see the violence or whatever. Porky’s was kept on a higher shelf (thank god for stools), and we kept the guns locked up. I mean it’s basically common sense will prevail. Look around you, i’m sure you’ll see 3+ game boxes in plain view, grab one of them and see how long it takes you to find a rating… 10 seconds for all 3?? And it’s not like we hide the boxes so a parent can’t walk into the room and see an ma rating and just say, look i don’t think this is appropriate for you, let’s get you something else instead that you’ll be happy with. I completely agree with kappa that it’s the parents responsibilities. Would you see your child playing with a random weapon and not give it a second look? Maybe it’s an airsoft gun he got with his friend… maybe it’s a nerfgun. Regardless if you didn’t know about it i’m sure you’d ask a question or two. I’m not trying to compare video games to guns or anything else. But it’s the same thing about parents not caring… It seems that parents nowadays (possibly because when we were growing up there was a lot of teenage pregnancies, more than any other time – i’m 23) but the expect everything to be done for them. It’s not someone else’s fault your kid is watching girls gone wild and playing san andreas. Talk to the *edited* kid.
Ok well that’s my rant/look on things.
