I cant believe I am posting to this also hehe.. But:

The mothers are peeved because there are all these things out there that THEY dont like, and want to keep from reaching their children's hands. The problem lies not with the video game makers, but within the parenting abilities. Most mothers out there (namely the ones complaining the most) do NOT know how to control the content that reaches their children... Trust me, I live with one of them, and we often fight about me being what she calls "Adolf Hitler" with her children. I will NOT let them watch movies that are rated R and even some that are PG13 (they are 9 and 13). So, in a way I DO understand where they are coming from, but dont condone the fact that they are blaming everyone but themselves.

An example of this hypocrasy (if you will), is ciggerettes, or even cars.. Parents dont allow their children to smoke at those ages (well, most dont anyhow), and they dont let them drive cars till they are a certain age... Does the fact that driving is VERY dangerous make it the car company's fault when a child does something he/she is not supposed to do? No, it is the parent's fault for not guiding them properly in the right direction... N'uff said... Though I could go on and on <smile>.
