1. Comment - Survey: Parents fear in-game sex, real life drugs

   Ok, so, why has this turned into a political and racial response? "North America" and "White America" when this report doesn't even say it was taken in America, and infact claims issues in Australia? Thanks for being ignorant ret***s who are probably too young to even vote yet, and deferring from the point. As both an adult and a Marine I'm appalled to see such ignorance here. Race and nationality has NOTHING to do with parents lack of responsibility or reasoning to raise their kids. Growing up I was an avid gamer, fell in love with the Halo and Call of Duty series. I'm sure some people think because I played those games I joined the military - Wrong. I joined so people could enjoy the freedom to both A - play those games and B - to live their lives without judgment or prosecution. However lately all I've seen is just more ignorant people getting to spew their filth and stupidity via the Internet, so I guess it's a double-edged sword. Playing Halo did not make me want to run up on someone and smack them with my M16 and scream "DOUBLE KILL!" or playing GTA doesn't make me want to steal cars. It didn't make me want to do it as a kid either. I was raised by parents who taught me right and wrong, and I did a lot of wrong not because of a game. It's called life experience. Parents: You can't protect them forever, and the more you shield them the more they are likely to do something dangerous later on. They will want to experiment. Follow these THREE simple steps: Research the game in question, check its ESRB game rating, compare it with your childs maturity and age. Frankly I'm tired of trying to play a nice game on Xbox Live and hearing Timmy the retarded 12 year old scream **** or f**got every five seconds, because the wh*** of a mother (you) doesn't have the time to step in to see what he's saying or doing, let alone smack the s*** out of him and take him off the game. If my kid were to ever act like that (Then again he wouldn't be on a game rated M for mature at age 8) I would mud-hole stomp his a** for a week straight. The point is stop turning this into an "ITS AMERICAS FAULT" or "WHITE PEOPLE" all the time, when clearly this problem exists in Australia, The U.K., and Africa too. It's a global situation, morons. Quit blaming all your problems on a country who has founded most of the standards for gaming, which is respectably understandable, and learn to be better parents. Honestly if you're under 17, your a** should be either studying or out with friends, not on a game that is rated M. Thank you.

   I love how somehow, even though this talks about it being world-wide, it turns into an "American" problem. Yay uneducated politics.
