the Bean:
a child couldn't be more enthousiastic if his/her parents would be interested in the thing he/she do.
and putting them in front of a television and stuff them with chips. isn't goig to help a lot...
Agree fully - but it's not only the parents. A child is exposed to various environmental influences - partly school comrades, TV, and even by watching how adults deal with one another <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> - a lot of bits and pieces add to the puzzle violence and brutalization. It's a tough job - even for engaged parents to strengthen a kid.
To all: Age rating was meant as help... meaning well does not always give the solution "well done". So, please, don't condemn it totally.
