I think that the M rating is too broad and > ought to be divided up more on a par with movie ratings. But > that's just my opinion. hows about NO ratings? just slap some good screenshots on the back of the box and have people judge for themselves. they can do it. i mean, jesus christ! maybe its because im from denmark, but all this limiting of the people (yeah, im a socialist =) is too much. ratings will always be flawed, just as other rules will be. there are exceptions to any rule, you know. up until recently, we had NO drinking age in denmark (well, you couldnt get into pubs till you were 18, but anyone could buy alcohol at the licquor store). there werent any real problems associated with this no-rule. however, a couple years ago, the legal age for buying alcohol in stores was set at 15. guess what happened, kids aged 13-15 started buying alcohol, just cause it was illegal. and you better believe that the government here are thinking about setting the age to 18 for stores (man, thats populistic. where did good sense go?). oi, im ranting. anyway, what im saying is basically: parents should know what their kids can handle. if they dont know that, are they even good parents? you tell me, cause i dont know. (i might sound a bit harsh, but im not. its just a topic that sets my p*ss boiling.) also, as i said elsewhere in this thread, in europe, we watch the same gore as you americans do, but we dont have schoolkids freaking out, postal incidents or serialkillers/massmurderers. its not JUST the violence in the media that causes the problems, its the society as well. maybe even more than the media. something to think about. -Carthag
