But she can slap them back with a frying pan, or a golf club, or a tennis racket.....  That's not the point though. The point was that people might find it offensive that women are being beaten. XD |

A James Bond flick Whoa, whoa, lets not confuse the old James Bond movies with the new ones 'cause there's nothing suggestive in the new James Bond movies... or any of the new "mature" movies in our day and age; that kind of suggestive mystique died about 30 years ago. *Is a classic movie enthusiast.* Unfortunately not all things get better with time. --; You can't really compare movie ratings with video game ratings or place them in the same league together, as it's been said many a time in this thread. Movies have been around for a much longer period of time and thus have been able to grow and build up on itself unlike video games which have only just begun to make its own life time and history. Box office movies are just that, Box Office Movies; they are designed to be shown on a large scale to thousands and thousands of people a day world wide. The rating system for movies is not designed for the personal viewer at home but the general public; trust me, if the MPA (Motion Picture Association) doesn't think a movie is okay for the general public they won't allow it to be shown at Mulitplexes. |

Make Mature rated games illegal? I think it's nonsense... making mature rated games illegal doesn't mean those kind of games aren't going to fall into children's hands. Kinda like cigarretes, I always accompany my friends to the store they always ask for cigs the vendors without question or reluctance always slips a couple to them. Its more or less like the theory of marihuana and other drugs, if you legalize it people will less likely use it, its human nature to break the law, get the forbidden, the unatainable. To be honest and quite blunt, the whole thing about video games turning people into criminals is just a bunch of BS if you ask me. Parents are always trying to find something to place the blame on, a some-what logical scape-goat that will bail them out from the blame being placed on them. Either loud music or video games with suggestive content will always be the excuse parents come up with for their children's short-comings. I say, sit with them, talk with them, listen to them thats all you need to do to avoid your child to become the next Charles Manson. |

As most of you know, I'm a video game fanatic. Some games just disgust me. Those games that include illegal things, dating, and lots of gore. I can handle some shooters, but some are just so disgusting. Some games are sick. Ever walk past a game store and see a sign for some video game that looks sickning? Then you vision a little kid saying 'Mommy, why does that man have red stuff all over him?' or 'Why does that guy have all girls surrounding him?' Games like that should be Illigal (sp?). Maybe I should make a debate about this.... They are illegal, for people under a certain age. They have ratings for reasons. If you not mature enough to play a T rated game, you shouldn't, if you are too young to play an M game, definitely don't get one of those. Okay, that^ isn't directed at you, Lemmy, I'm just basing my opinions on yours. |

I sincerely doubt it should be legalized and solve the problem - that would, in fact, worsen it tenfold. Because now everyone can buy all they want, in public, without fear of retrobution. And since more people can get it, in easier ways, more people will get harmed by them. That seems like a easy-way-out, except not so easy, solution. But you are right about the discussion and unneccessary blame parts. |
