People really consider letting kids play violent games abuse? Um, okay...

And they really should. Yeah im at an age that I am about to have one of my own and Id love to play with my son  / daughter and enjoy it more than I do with my lady but if  its wrong to have our children watch porn and horror movies and not allowed in theaters unless they are adults it should be the same for gaming. Cant watch a fake slaughtering yet you have cool parents if they let you pretend to do it yourself?

Some of you need to think realisticly and not that "but my parents would be cool to let me / for letting me".

Im sorry but most parents are lazy and they let you. Not cool. Cool parents take yououtside to do stuff together or play family games at home instead of getting rid of you. Thats the sad truth. Then again most of them are busy... They have to attend and reply to facebook and like stuff huh?

I really do wish many parents get punished. As an imidiate effect we start having a better comunity and not raging hairless preteens screaming like babygirls on mics. I know it sounds rough to some but only to those that are a part of the issue in question. So it really doenst matter that much right?

Ha, if you'd known what teaching was like in the UK for the last decade, you wouldn't be saying that. I say give the teachers as much power as possible!

You don't know how messed up it us to have parents complaining to the school because a teacher upset their child.

Not even sure the police would care, its only illegal to sell 18 rated games to minors, its up to parents what they let there children play, I believe, could be wrong.

It's illegal to sell the games to under age kids, just like it is illegal to sell alcohol or cigarettes to under age people too in the UK. However, you are allowed to drink from the age of 5 in your own home, if you want. So if the parents bought the game for their child, all they are is bad parents.

My only real issue with when it comes to kids who really shouldn't be playing games like GTA, I don't even like the series yet I see kids as young as 10 getting their parents to buy it in GAME because their parents don't know.

But it's legal...

I don't think it's the school system job to raise or help raise people's kids. Just teach kids general education and leave the parenting to parents. Kids have been sneaking porn and violent movies for a while now. They grew up just fine.

I cant stand all the toddlers playing online. Thats why I hate playing online and always prefer couch multiplayer.
