    Another way would be if parents actually played the game first. Then decided based on their own childs maturity level.

    I just bought Guitar Hero: Aerosmith it had a M rating (15 +) due to maybe a couple of cursae words in the lyrics. Would I let my six year old son play it. You damn right I would. My son has made it out of the house and has heard these words. He knows better than to repeat them. There is no way I can prevent him from hearing curse words, its not even remotely imaginable. The rating system is a farce, and poeple who practice parenting know this. People who don't practice parenting shouldn't be parents, sadly this isn't the case.

    I am technically blind in my right eye due to a congenital defect in my lens. I lack sterioscopic vision. My right eye is extremely long sigted, so my brain ignores the input. If i close my left eye input is recieved but it of very poor quality. My left eye is better than 20/20. I would be willing to try out any cybernetic implants that would restore funtionality to my right eye. I would also have perfect vision with which to compare the effectivness with.

    I would like low light and infrared vision, as well as repaired normal light vision installed. One eye, is basically 0 risk to my my existing vision.

    No actually I can spell, I just can't type for shit, am lazy and don't proof read. I actually have a one hundred and forty IQ Thank you very much. While I am not very good with the written word, I can asur you I am quite verbally articulate. besides I am not trying to write an Essay I am making a statement of opinion on a bublic website that includes daily posts of copypasta and goatse. Additionally you aught to watch your own spelling whilst demeaning someone for theirs, or was your mispellings also typo's? (maybe english isn't my first language)

    I do not have a bullshit attitude but I have witnessed women perform tasks most men would prefer someone else do (all without complaining). Being witness to situations in my ral life and presenting that evidence anecdotally does not give me an attitude but it does give me an opinion. Unfortunatly optinions can be wrong and much like assholes everyone has one.

    Women and men are different, feminism seems to think "Equal"="same". This is simply incorrect, the sexes are different and so are attracted to differing professions. Maybe men have a higher aptitude for the hard sciences because the simply find them more interesting and so pay more attention? Nursing requires an ability to deal with blood, urine, and shit of other people, I find women aree more able to deal with this kind of thing. Why is it important for more women to do "hard sceine /mathematics" jobs anyway? Let women do what they like/are good at, and men can do the same, k.
