Egin:
It is a problem Kiya. How to make parents care about their kids? Damn, allow people to have a baby only if they are caring (make them pass tests or something). This is not gonna happend. Society will say, this is not democracy.
Exactly - it is not democratic. And passing a test is no guarantee for someone to do a good job afterwards <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> (driver's license = good drivers? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> ) Therefore parts of the society put up commitees for age rating to deal with age unsuitable stuff. If social behaviour does not function within one little cell (family), the larger cell (state,country etc.) sets up regulations - sad, but true (same for laws, hm? We wouldn't need them if all were responsible).
And adults ARE allowed to get 18+ games, they just have to go through a little more trouble to get it - but the weakest have to be protected, if those in charge are incapable of it, for various reasons. Sad, but true again.
Why are people so eager to cry out loud when they see their rights endangered and sneak away when it comes to responsibility/moral for the group, their family or the community they live in? Yep, responsibility/moral is boring, takes discipline and cuts off a whale of fun - and fun is sooo important - easy fun, fun without going through trouble. Fun at all costs... (Why should I care about others? I want fun!I and I alone. I want to play this game now - and if I don't want to spend my money on it/or age rating interferes: I get warez - gah) - and the leisure industry responds: more violent games... Neverending cycle.
Egin, I am
not happy about these regulations, wish, the human society wouldn't need them - well, our sad reality is as it is at the moment <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

PS.: I'm glad you take up your responsibility <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
