    I really get tired of reading about games that I should not allow my son to purchase (not that he can just yet, hes turning 4 soon but still), if you are a parent and stupid enough to let your child play a game that you even for a moment have to think and sit down and read the box, then I really dont care that your child is outside being evil and trying to blow shit up its your own damn fault. The parents need to mod more and pay attention, I dont need a list to know my son will not be playing anything listed (or how about UT, CS Condition Zero, Call of duty, etc/etc/etc). For someone that is going to buy a game and not read it, your stupid, thee end! Now go get me some of those games.

      No today, parent are never responsable for their child behaviour. Everyone around it is. Even when your child play a Mature rated cracked game on his moded PS2 it's not the parent fault, it is the publisher. It is the fault of TV program, video game, internet, school, street, friend, but never THE PARENTS. [/sarcasm]
