Supreme Court and Video Games

http://blogs.forbes.com/mobiledia/2011/06/28/supreme-court-blocks-violent-video-game-ban/


I totally support this ruling. The reason is because there is already an age limit for the video games in place. It is the parents job to monitor their kids and make sure that they do not have those video games and if they do they need to take them away. Parents need to take responsibility for their kids if they game is rated Mature-17 and over purchase than do not get it.

Do not blame the video games for the reason a kid acts out. Before you purchase the game for them you need to tell them that it is fake and not real. I honestly do not think that any teenager is stupid enough to believe that it is real. However, if they do than they do not need to play that game, they need to go get some counseling.

Also it si the job of the retailer to check IDs when the purchase is being made. My ID got checked when I was 17 and my mom was there. So they did their job. It is the responsibility of parents and retailer to make sure that the kids do not believe that the video game is reality. Also if they know that they are not able to handle the violence of a video game, they do not need to play it.

Take responsibility for your actions. Do not blame the video game or the makers.
