Like everyone else it makes me wonder whats so hard about seeing a M on the box and reading what the game is about on the back of the box. But why would I even need the rating all I need to do is look at the cover of the box. If I see care bears hugging each other then it seems pretty safe for a kid. But if I see a pictures of people with guns and zombies biting someones arm on the cover then it kinda seems sensible to me that its not kid friendly. Yeah the retailers have some really lazy checkout employees. But mostly its the really lazy ass parents.
Also when ever I go to a store with games like best buy there is a sign that explains what the ratings mean. Usually its pretty big. Explaining to us what E, T, and M mean.
It seems like enforcing the safety of children is a new thing these days.
I can just see the day now. Police busting into your house with a warrent to arrest you because you are letting your kid play grand theft auto. And taking your kid away from you because other people know whats best for your child. Not their child your child. And once that child is safe from the evils of video games. They forget about them and move on to the next. The child taken away from there good parents grow up with out loving parents cause he is that problem child that played grand theft auto. He is a murderer in training. We don't want a child trained to kill by a video game.
On a serious note it just seems like there are alot of other things out there these people can be doing to help children. Yet they are wasting money on things like this.

Posted 07/24/08 at 11:21am lumi: their own. Looks like they're arguing with ghosts...
Posted 07/24/08 at 11:20am lumi: Ooh, and to prove the validity of their arguments, they've deleted all the comments from the gamers/outsiders, and just left
Posted 07/24/08 at 11:20am lumi: Wow...there's worse invective and vitriol on that first feminist site's comments than in most gaming forums I've read...
Posted 07/24/08 at 11:19am SimonBob: You guys can read the feminist blogs? One of 'em has over 1400 comments -- my browser locks up when I try to load the page!
Posted 07/24/08 at 10:49am M. Carusi: That's probably the message to describe hardcore feminism in general. :P
Posted 07/24/08 at 10:35am Tom90deg: Meh, it seems like most of the comments are "I'm right, and it you don't agree with me, you're a girl-hating masonogystic pig!"
Posted 07/24/08 at 10:30am M. Carusi: Those comment walls on the feminist blogs complaining about FP are generating some hilarious content.
Posted 07/24/08 at 08:48am E. Zachary Knight: @ lunatic, What you see is what you get. Once a comment gets pushed off it is gone forever.

Posted 07/23/08 at 06:15pm Rodrigo Ybáñez García: Jack is a repressed man. Don´t be surprised...
Posted 07/23/08 at 06:07pm GryphonOsiris: So Jack admitted paying for gay porn... all I can say is wow... just wow...
Posted 07/23/08 at 05:09pm lumi: to the case, and he's been on 60 minutes once!
Posted 07/23/08 at 05:09pm lumi: GP, you should mention you'll be filing a legal injunction against him if he doesn't comply. Phoenix Wright will be attached
Posted 07/23/08 at 03:32pm Alteffor: You should add a section to the site for anything Jack CC's to you. It's always entertaining to read the stuff he writes.
Posted 07/23/08 at 03:31pm Matriculated: Does anyone know when the Supreme Court reaches their decission?
