If the parents think it is such an outrage and if the kids will still get the game regarless of age all the consoles now have this niffty parental control in the system. They don't need to take it serious they just need to set the system up for the kid at least.

The world has never been a clean place. Since the beginning of time there has always been violence in this world. From wars over land, religion, or race to spending the day with the family meant watching men fight just for the right to fight another day.

Somewhere along the lines makind has lost something called family values. We used to be able to blame a murder or rapist on growing up in a wrong family, but now you see murders and rapists coming from homes that were suppose to be "GOOD". Why? cause now Moms and Dads are just to damn "busy" with their own lives to give proper care to the life they brought into this world. Not all parents are bad, but some of them put financial gain and braggin rights over the well being of their offspring. That is what causes all this stuff to happen. I've been playing violent game since the heyday of the arcade, but my dad always kept me in check, he took the time to explain to me that these games are fake and that actions like these are only meant for the digital world and if a movie was on that he thought was to violent and gory, guess what? he turned it off and waited for me to go to sleep before he watched it.

Granted that the industry will never make it to a point where "M" rated games will never reach little hands, but thats where the parents have to step in and try the best they can to keep it from ever reaching their child. Sure the kid can go over to their friends house and still play the game, so why not have to friend come over to your house that way you can keep an eye on what your child is doing. If the child doesn't like it tough. Your the parent and not him. You have to decide what the rules are under YOUR ROOF, if he thinks hes to grown to pay attention, you say "Welcome to the real world and rent is due on the 1st of every month, these are the rules and then you can do as you please"

Maybe games are a little to blame for some of the fall in humanity, but having bad humans taking care of the future generation is not exactly the best way to fix that.
