[QUOTE="BrandonMF, post: 2062712, member: 13086"] I know right? What happened to "It's the PERSON not the OBJECT?" Just like there are 80 million firearm owners in America who don't go out and murder people every day, there are quite a few million gamers and film aficionados that don't do it either. Lets not hide behind one right to protect another. Hell I grew up with Stallone and Schwarzenegger on the families TV all the time. Young Guns formed my childhood appreciation of westerns. Dick Tracy taught me to be nice to people. Rambo was quite literally an every weekend ordeal at my house the first year we bought a VCR. Watching bad, grotesquely violent B-Movies with my father when I was a kid just made me LOVE B-movies. I'm not talking 8 or 9 here either, I'm talking 3 and 4. It's the PARENTS fault for not teaching their kids right and wrong, it's the PARENTS fault for not spotting signs of behavioral personality disorders early and being blind to anything "negative" about their precious little chillun. If your friggin' kid has problems separating reality from fantasy, don't let him play games aimed at 21 year olds in his formative years. But, it's easier to sit the kid down in front of the TV for 10 hours and forget they exist, so then it becomes the Movie and the Videogame's fault that it's too violent and not the parent who didn't take the time to assess their child's maturity before exposing them to such things?
