I do agree with many of you in the fact that parents are indeed the ones who should be responsible for controlling what their kids play. However, I also couple that with the fact that there is an insanely huge amount of incompetent parents. While many childrenin the 15-18 rangewill not be horrendously effected by this, especially with a parent there to help interpret and put it into perspective, most parents don't do it. This is sad and pathetic, but it's the way things are in our society. There are some people who should not be playing violent games even until their mid-20's because of their mental nature. Working in a group home myself, I see many of those types of kids. I about beat down one of our workers who thought it was a good idea to let a 13 year old boy who was beaten by his parents until he ran away play SOCOM.
It is because of these incompetent parents, the likes who blame everybody else for their child turning out badly, because they know their child is a perfect angel, who are to blame for the likes of this. The government is for the people, per se, and that is what people shift to. They whine about the controls placed upon them, but theircomplaining, fear, and lack of responsibility caused those controls to be put into place in the first place.
So yes, parents are the responsible party. It's about time they took that fact to heart, and did something about it so we don't have to deal with this sort of stupidity.
