Thread: should they ban violent and sexual realted games?

well, i dont realy know. if a child's parents dont want their child to be influenced by that kind of thing they shouldn't allow them to purchase it. but then again it all comes down to an individual's consciense.

Nope because is the parent's responsability to check what games their kids are buying and playing. Even if it get banned out of the shelves you can still buy them in the black market.

Recently? Heh... Jack Thompson and many other politicians have had a crusade agaisnt violent and explicit gaming. They fail because they are blind that it's not the fault of the games, but the fault of the parents. Good parents includes waiting to see if you're parents are ready or can at least handle games of that caliber and if you buy your child a game like Grand Theft Auto, it's best to supervise and play it with him or her.

Parents need to read the parental sticker that has the game rating thingy. I mean there is a reason why the dang sticker is there.
