I personally believe that games shouldn't be banned on their content. I do believe that they should be limited though, only to the customers that have parental consent or are legal adults. Let me rephrase that:
It is the parent's responsibility that their child isn't exposed to the violent media that is a part of society today. If you let your child go to the gaming isle of an electronics store, it is your responsibility that they don't play a Grand Theft Auto 4 demo. If the child goes to a friend's house, whom is planning to go to military school in 10 years, it is the parent's responsibility that they don't play Gears of War, or Halo.
So when you spew bullshit out of your mouth (which should be coming out of your ass into the toilet) about video games, it is NOT the developer's fault. You
Entertainment
Software
Ratings
Board!
The retail stores also do their part in helping you do your responsibilities. For example, GameStop and EBgames retailers prohibit the purchasing of games rated M+17 to minorities*, unless a consenting adult is there with them.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE!
If you really want to help the situation and soothe your paranoia, talk to the damn kid. Studies show that families that eat together at the dinner table simultaneously, are less likely to have potheads or alcoholic children in them.
Now take this newfound knowledge, and talk to them you couch potato.
*It has come to my attention that minorities refer to ethnicity, and not an age group. What I meant to say, was that M+17 games are what GameStop Co. do not sell to minors.
Sorry for any confusion.
