    ESRB is a voluntary system. There is no mandatory rating.

    Nintendo isllustrated this when they thought about making their own rating system for their products.

    Think for one second. Why can't we buy dildos at walmart? Give me one good reason. No, "it will harm the minds of our young ones!" is not an answer.

    This is called critical thinking, and not something they teach you in school =)

    Seriously though, I got a serious cut when I was using a bunch of old cds with my friends as frisbees. CD's crack into VERY sharp, jaged pieces. They are much more dangerous then the game on them. GTA doesn't require a bandage and for me to apply pressure.

    A children should choose his own beliefs, and not have them forced on him. Pitty those who are so insecure in their beliefs they must push them on young children, because without that, the child will see the truth.

    I agree. It was in the dark ages that sex was made the evil thing it is today. Sex is the most pleasurable human expirience, yet we shun it by bleeping words and keeping sexual references off TV. I learned about sex when I was around 8-10, and I am not hurt or emotionally harmed because of it. Parents give their children too little credit for their ability to understand things.

    Oh, Europe doesn't have morals or right or wrong? I'm an American, but that is taking it WAY too far.

    Just because they dont live next door doesn't mean they are evil. Europeans are cool peeps, you should try meeting one of them sometime.

    Well, the safe sex "war" is good, as long as they teach about SAFE sex, and not telling people it's bad.

    Hell, even here in california they don't teach proper safe sex, just that it's evil and even if you use a condom you will get STD's that will ruin the rest of your life.

    Why should they tone it down? Who is to say what is right or wrong? In some countries stoning a women is perfectly acceptable.

    Wrong, yes, but who says what is wrong or right? It is all a human construct. Don't forget that.

    What? Porn is cheap entertainment for the most restricted human instinct. Don't fool yourself with FUD from the religious fundies.

    Do they think this means ANYTHING? My younger friends just DOWNLOAD the games their mom wont let them play, or I burn a copy for them. I am more than happy to free them from the ignorance of their parents.

    This is all a political stunt with no thought behind it.

    Almost all cars bought on the market today will go up to 100,000 miles without a checkup (sure, they say you should get one, but if your a cheapss you can push it). However, a spacecraft is only going around 600 miles at most during a flight. The space station is at 250 miles and I'm sure that no commerical rocket will get there anyway.
