M-ature rated games

[KILLALLSCRIBS]

ok.. i am doing a project for school.. it is on a controversial subject.. luckily she let me do it on mature rated games.. she said that this would count.. so here i go..

MATURE rated games.. what is your take.. as some of us may think that most mature rated games aren't too bad.. but i read once that a kid, maybey seven years old, came into a store and brought over Grand Theft Auto III and asked if he could buy it.. and the store clerk.. laughed.. said no.. so the kid tells his mom.. the mom comes in and try's to buy it for him.. and he warns her. this game includes lots of death.. stealing cars.. picking up prostetutes.. and things like that.. and she kindly nods her head.. and buys it.. so then she goes home.. watches her son play it.. and then starts a fucking petition or something, pardon my language but i am pissed, and tried to ban the game.. after all the warning.. so what is your take on this subject.

I like m-rated games because I'm old enough, and in a state of mind where I have no problem handing violence and maygem. I don't think that every game should be censored in a way that kids can play them, because we got here first damnit

The fact remains that kids are able to get games they shouldn't play, and stores are partially to blame. In my opinion stores should be given fines if kids were able to buy games they aren't old enough to play, regardless of how mature they may be. Kids these days live with a lot more violence in games and movies than even just some years ago, so you could say that they're more "resilient", but I still think that the regulations need to be improved.

I hope my oppinions make sense, sort of

personally i think it should be up to the parent to decide whether the game is suitable or not

but then again i probably only think that cos my parents aren't too bothered what i play

Yeah, it's plain and simple. If the game is rated mature, what is so hard about taking a parent with you to buy it. If your parent's won't let you buy it, then sucks to be you, but it happens. Anyways, just go to a friends house and play it

u could argue that in games we do the killing, and it's made fun. whereas in films we watch someone else do it.

I think there are some m rated games are just great. GTA is a good example of this. It shold be up to the parents as to whether their child plays the game, assuming they can't get it themselves. I let my 3 yr old son play GTA VC for hours on end. He can't read so he can't really get far in the game, however he does steal cars and beat the crap oout of anything. When he does steal a car at least he says thank you lol. As a parent I see no harm in him playing the game since he doesn't hit, swear, or try to steal anything! It is retarded to ban a game because your child is playing a game explicitly made for adults. I could go off on this for hours but the coffee is going right thru me
