oh yea I love how the woman talking about how they found what "they" considered violent content. I seem to remember in Sleeping Beauty rated G the villian turning into a dragon and the prince killing it. Also rated G was Aladin where it shows the hero stabbing Jafar who had transforrmed himself into a large snake with a sword.
Yea no violence in either of those "kid friendly" cartoon at all. That was scarcasm in case people here missed it.

Only kids with severe mental problems are effected by violent games.

lol, it's always against Mortal Kombat, it's hilarious. Video game violence does nothing to children, the only thing it does is bug the parents and then the parents, instead of just selling the game, have to make a large scale attack against video game violence. If the kid isn't smart enough to know the difference between video games and life, then it's the parent's fault, not the games, take responsibility for your child.

actually, I am pretty sure to this day she kept an eye on my actions for a good reason, I mean sure I live on my own now and can play any game I want but I play GTA quite a bit now since I can understand its a game and not meant to be emulated in a real life scenario.

my mom was a real strict person when it came to video games, tv, music and heaven forbid books, they had to be "age apropriate" before I was allowed to play, watch, listen or even read.

my mom would let me have violent videogames as long as it didn't bother me

I wouldn't go to a violent killing rampage, no matter how long I would play Gears of War. Neither would I go stealing stuff after playing Thief. No smart guy does that! Sadly not everybody are smart, and thats the reason why games have been marked as eeeeeeeeeevil.
