Why do many of these sites have age restrictions? (don't work anyway though)

Can your 12 year old walk into a Rate R movie by themselves?

You gonna protest? You let you kids watch snuff films of Mexican cartel beheadings? Why not?

I can post a liveleak link right now to the cartel skinning people alive. Pretty graphic.

Let your kids watch it.

Dude, that's not the half of what fricked up stuff a Paradox game will let you do.

I can’t wait to see a mass murderer actually trying to do AWP flick shots while peeking a corner.

That is some elite CS FPS training.

I think realistic first person shooters serve to lessen the natural human aversion to homicide.
I believe science backs me up on that.
Well then let's see this "science," because I'm skeptical that this has been studied since I'm not sure how one can truly study "aversion" to homicide.

Or some sweet Halo grenade jumps. Maybe try to snipe with a pistol from a hundred yards away.

Most of these nuts began their training for this stuff playing first person shooter games.


I know nothing of this - but the concept itself would require a lot of convincing to make me think access should be allowed to minors. I see it as a fertile ground for unstable minds to develop a sense of "being someone."

Would you require a "scientific study" to convince you that allowing drag races on city streets during rush hour would be a really bad idea?

I got Grand Theft Auto III sometime around 8th grade and continue to play that series today. As far as I recall, I don't think I've murdered any hookers, tossed grenades out the window of a stolen car or run over any FBI agents who were chasing me as a drove a tank.


Side note though, my parents were on the front end of the video game parenting era and didn't much research the games I wanted. I wouldn't buy a GTA game for my 8th grade child.
