I agree with you there too Misty, regarding the music.

I allow my son to listen to anything I would listen to. Difference is he knows better than to use any of those words.

I'm sure that'll all change soon once he gets into those "teenage" years...

I really hate censorship!

Well I used to be of the attitude that violent video games did not make killers out of kids, and for the most part still do. However I have seen some things that have changed my mind set on this a little. I have a friend who has a 10 yr old son. She bought him GTA San Andreas. About a month after he got the game he got in trouble in school bragging about how he was going to have sex with a girl in his class and saying if she refused he would drag her into a room and described how he would "GTA her" then went into details on how he would rape her. Dont get me wrong I am not laying the blame for this kid all on GTA it is more on bad parenting but GTA definitely did not help matters at all. To me it i just like not letting kids into R rated movies. Parents should be held responsible for how their kids behave especially when their kids bad actions start hurting or effecting other kids in a negative way.

GTA is not a kids game, and kids shouldn't be allowed to play it. I don't let my kids watch p0rn, I don't let my kids play violent video games. Parenting is the problem.

OOO And I have no problem with the law. Makes it easier on the retailers, no moral dilemma. Under age, no buy.

There is a line that even I dont' allow my son to cross when it comes to games. GTA San Andreas is one of those that I won't allow him to play. And as EC said, he can't watch Pron.

But he was allowed to watch High Tension, Day of the Dead, Blade, etc. Difference is he knows they are movies and aren't real.

It all boils down to how the kids are raised whether they should be able to play them, with the correct parental guidance.

I agree with both EC and Hellfire. It is sad that so many parents just dont step up to the plate. My friend is a perfect example of this. I have told her repeatedly to take that game away from him but she is so weak minded she does not want to deal with the conflict it will cause. I tell her "well look what not taking it from him has done". My problem is the schools are full of kids just like him.
