Funny, 8 years back I was in Hollywood Video renting a PS2 game. An 8 year old picks out GTA: Vice City and his fucked up, completely negligent parent allows his 8 year old to rent it. I was thinking what the fuck? When I was 8, I was playing Super Mario Bros 3 and did not play my first mature game until Doom when I was around age 12. If we have parents like this, then companies need to be held to the table. Fines and whatnot equivalent to liquor and convenient stores selling alcohol and tobacco to minors is needed because there are parents out there who will let little Jimmy rent any game because they just don't care. |
Parents should be able to decide what is right and wrong for their kids, not the government. If a parent thinks their kid can play GTA, let them.
Your example is either the parents failure for not being involved in the kids interest or the parents success in knowing what is and is not appropriate for the kid. Heaven forbid parents actually care about their kids!
Are your parents completely fucked up and negligent for letting you play Doom at 12?
