I don't buy the whole "herp derp can't help it if my kids watch TV or play games I don't want them to". :shrug:
These are different times. I don't care if your parents try hard to stop you, your going to do it anyways. :shrug: its that simple.Quote:

Humane activist have made it impossible to discipline kids and that's why they think they are invincible, can do whatever they want to who ever they want. Its not rocket science dude, it doesn't have to happen in your house or under your roof. It can happen anywhere.
So now that we've established that children are completely above the law, several questions need answering.Quote:

I suppose its a matter of who is playing the game. Most children will act it out regardless of what you think because the younger generation is totally obsessed with violence. I'm not saying kids are going to shoot someone for it, but most kids under 19 talk about three things.Quote:

So in the end its a futile effort, we may as well make the most violent and ignorant shit out there, because these kids are already screwed. You can't blame parents because times are different.
To be honest guys, look up Dr. Frederic Wertham. It's just history repeating itself.
And this is new how? To be perfectly honest, I rather suspect that EVERY generation's had their swaggering machismo kids. They're not the whole of a generation, and it's certainly nothing that's never been seen before. It's called boasting. It happens. It will keep happening whether parents are allowed to give their kids a correcting slap or not. I'm not saying that the current generation doesn't have its issues, but don't treat common issues as if it's something completely unique to this generation. Is it worse? Possibly, though I'm no judge. Is it new? Hell no.Quote:

George Bush is the kid, we are the parent, refer to your previous argument.Quote:

But at the same time, it's not the responsibility of the game company to rate their games, that falls on the ESRB.
The Rating's system is the one in place, and if you think that isn't working, thats a different story.
My whole deal, is that games companies shouldn't be "censored" because a few mothers take offense.
Its all the same shit, personally I don't see why anyone cares anymore.
sometimes you have to look at it from the teens point of view. myself, being 14 years old, would know what goes on inside a child my ages head more then a psychiatrist or faux news or even my own parents. to be honest, you have to split the blame up into two. the first half is the kids, who will try and get anything they want because they think that they are greater than everyone. the other half is with the parents, who probably weren`t strict enough when they were 3-7 years of age, letting the child think that they are above everything. i was lucky, i had strict, but fun and nice parents, so now they can be a little more leanient now in my life, but then you have a kid who lives down the road from me, same age, who gets a friend to steal games, alcohol, etc. and unfortunatly, i think many children of my generation is going to end up like that. to be honest, you cant blame everything on one single thing(unless your talking about fox news.) there will always be instigators and victims who also started the crime. you just have to get over it.
fucking hate the news
yup i agree.Quote:
