If little jimmey isn't allowed to play violent games, he's going to play those games with his friends, or get them somewhere else... I agree that parents have a responsability towards their children, but children are not innocent. They may not be as intelligent a most adults, but they can be just as evil. If he likes violent games because he's attracted to violence, and he likes to use violence in reality, it is not the parents fault per se, the kid is just violent

Bottom line is, people like to look for someone to blame so they don't have to take responsibility for their own failure. People aren't raising their children properly.

Its quite odd that after the very first GTA for playstation, and PC. Which must have been ages ago, about 1996 or so. That adults even now dont see that you can have a game thats rated 18. Really should only be for adults.

And like the ol' Alan Titchmarsh argument, that, that old bat saying "Oh its the interactivity of a game thats harmful". Its not harmful if when you see "Rated 18". And then, as a result don't play the game, because the BBFC rating is there for a reason.

I guess adults see games as a toy. This is because they never grew up around games therefore never saw it as it was meant to be. People use the phrase "Play games" which in a way makes the activity sound childish. I also learnt when I was younger if I said I had already played the game or that other people had it then my parents would buy me it. Though once I went into a game shop at the age of 13 and purchased GTA. Without them even asking my age. All I said was that it was for my brothers bday

why is it the people who don't understand games or gamers always the ones ready to blame us and the games?
