Parents: Thoughts on M Rated Games

I'm not a parent either, but I feel that we as offspring should have our own say in the matter. One of the things that bothers me about many parents (no specifics) is how they feel that they should make all the decisions for their children. I not only find this patronizing, but insulting to the child's intelligence.

By all means, some measure of control is required, especially when buying games. But parents I feel should take the time to hear their own children out, and use the child's knowledge of the product to help them make better decisions.

The sad thing is the whole thing with CA is saying that the STATE knows what's best for our children, so I'd focus more on not letting them the governemtn decide how to protect you from yourself or even YOUR OWN PARENTS.

it's absolutely rediculous that this has made it past any court, I can't imagine how this bill/law can fit anywhere into the constitution

It is foolish to judge a game based on the rating alone, but on the content itself.
