Hey, let's ban everything, or Whatever happened to parental responsibility.
Found this today...

So, can someone tell me where this crap is going to end? Think movies, think TV, think music. Then think cigarettes and alcohol...
Are these folks prepared to generate a happy medium in video games? The very premise doesn't hold water...
POINT BLANK...LIFE is bad for you. What the hell are these politicians and parents trying to do? I'll tell you what they are trying to do. Exonerate themselves. "It's not my fault, it must be the video games" "It's not my fault, it's the drugs" "It's not my fault, it's the 'influences'". WHAT THE **CK?!? Is there no such thing as parental responsibility anymore? These **cking intellectually vapid morons sit their kids down in front of the TV to 'babysit' them, in order to take the unholy 'stress' of being a parent off of their indigent, 'i can't be bothered to raise a child' shoulders, and then they have the audacity to bitch and moan about what their kids (their RESPONSIBILITY) are seeing and experiencing? What the **ck is going on? **cking IDIOTS! Have any of you ever had a problem designating the difference between right and wrong? Have any of you ever stolen a car, **cked a prostitute, blown up an armored car with a rocket launcher and collected cash from a gangster only after beating his rival to death with a club? WTF!!??
The greatest threat to our survival as a nation, a world, and as a species lies in the likes of those who DENY THEIR RESPONSIBILITY to support it. Parents, wake the **ck up!...Your kid, what s/he learns, sees, and most importantly, accounts as reality is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, not anyone else's. WTF ever happened to "Son, it's just a movie, it's not real" ??!?
To those who support this kind of lawmaking...take a good long look at yourself. Do you see your child as a commodity? Do you even care, in the end, or do you just like to piss and moan about how horrid this world is? You like making excuses for your own irresponsibility, don't you? Let's update that previous phrase to "Son, it's just a video game, it's not real..." Too hard for ya? Well, then **** YOU!, you don't deserve to be a parent. Take some **cking responsibility, for **ck's sake...
In turn, I must say that I, myself have a daughter, and another on the way. She agrees that this kind of crap is unneccessary..."Dad, I know, this stuff is fake, I'D NEVER WANT TO SEE IT HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE"
You half-assed jerks that keep referencing Columbine to everything should boil your heads. True enough, that was a tragedy, but it also was a combination of faults(real faults, not Doom)...Inattentive parenting, and the total unrecognized randomness of teenage emotional stress. In other words, totally **cking random. But right away, people were looking for an excuse...**cking depressing, if you ask me...
Entitlement is the newest craze, and it is bullshit. So long responsiblity, so long parenting, so long individual guilt...
**CK THAT.
Ouroboros
Aww, **ck it, I'm gonna go play Resident Evil...HEY!, I'm 'of age'...**cking zombies ;)
