Wow Falcon, flip out. Don’t forget, everyone here is on your side. dude. Anyway, its all because parents want to use video games to babysit their kids. When something goes wrong, they need somewhere to point a finger, and nobody ever wants to point that finger at themselves. Let’s point it at the “babysitter”: modern media. Its pretty sad that people spend so much time arguing this point, when they could spend that time actually watching their kids and talking to them about right and wrong, fantasy and reality, morality, and the fact that its different in a game and why, or just simply regulating what they’re allowed to see and play.

They should just make a Poster like saying “Please read ESRB rating” or something. It would look ugly on my game case.

UltimaChocochu most of the parents don’t even give a fuck. They’re the kind of parents that end up letting their 15 year old kid stay out till 2 a.m. and don’t even notice when he has a hang over the next morning and then wonder why he’s an alchoholic 2 years later.

“this law would allow parents to make better informed decisions for their kids”.
If parents need a law to make better decisions, they’re bad parents. If you can’t think to ask what the M means, or read what it says under the M then you have problems indeed.

So much for good looking box art. I’m sure the best of artists can work with the “big 18 box” and incorporate it into the box art.

People can’t sell tobacco to minors, can’t sell alchohol to minors, they can’t sell R rated movies to minors, but of course all the violence, sex, slavery, and statements that rape is ok as long as you pay 50 silver coins for the virgin bride to be your wife, as well as multiple bigoted passages are perfectly ok to so many of these people.

There’s nothing wrong with video games. It’s all parental faults. The kids that shouldn’t be playing these games in the first place, will get a parent or friend to buy it for them anyway. Laws like this are just made from pathetic weak minded individuals who love to rail about personal responsibility but never really seem to show it.

Case in point Mr. Terminator has no place telling ANYONE what violence they are and are not allowed to enjoy in a victimless manner.

Better informed decisions… if parents made good decisions in the first place, it wouldn’t even be brought up. Comics, then television, then games. They’re always looking for something to blame while avoiding their incompetency.
