Comment Why not blame the parents? (Score 1) 1493
I can think of half a dozen recent R-rated movies that are at least as violent if not worse than GTA games. You don't hear any senators talking about how said movies are leading the youth of America down a violent path. If Ms. Clinton or Senator Liberman were to speak out against say, "Kill Bill" it would be lauded as censorship!
Yet they continually attack the games industry for producing "grown-up" entertainment. I know several parents who don't even realize their kids' games have a rating system. The fact of the matter is that the movie ratings system is more strictly adheared to by society. Parents need to realize a rated M game equals a rated R movie!
What our beloved senators should be fighting against is the complete lack of parenting going on in this country. At the risk of opening a can of worms, I can think of only one reason they won't. Parents=Votes! "gotta get re-elected... can't blame the voters...(whistles)...heeeeeere little scapegoat!"

P.S. I should proabably mention I don't play the GTA series as I PERSONALY don't care for the violence.
