Almost always has to do with the parent(s) and/or a society that forces the parent(s) to work 80 hour weeks and just be too tired to hang with the little ones. On the other side is verbal and physical abuse of kids at the hands of parent(s) who shouldn't have had kids in the first place. Unfortunately, politicians don't get elected by saying 'parents suck.' They get elected by placing the blame on scapegoats and strawmen, because in America, it's never your fault. It's always big, bad GTA. Or Manhunt. Or Mortal Combat. Or.... |
Taking accountability for one's actions does not seem to be one of our society's strongsuits anyway. Not when liabililty is always someone else's legal responsibility.
The finger pointing game is a time honored tradition in claiming the moral highground. It's about one step below legislating morality, which is arguably the most ridiculous thing any free society could do.
Slossberg hints she'll... introduce legislation next session calling for clearer labeling of depraved video games like Grand Theft Auto... Slossberg's a bit unsure of how the warning labels might read: "I mean what would it say? 'This game will make you a sociopath'?"
You know what? I agree. Such games should be rate "S" for Sociopath. Would that stop anyone from buying them? Oh, sure. lol
