Thing is, Johnny, we live opposite a retirement home! No! And GTA will *Obviously* brainwash him into shooting all the old ladies!
...What I *meant* to say was, I didn't believe my own post-I was playing devil's advocate, and not very well [img]tongue.gif[/img] *. I mean, if I were to believe Baldur's Gate, I'd stick a bit of metal onto a stick and claim it was a quarterstaff+5! ^^ *God, I need a drink.

You still in the basement ? There's plenty of drinks down there, just switch on the light.

I think it boils down to the parents and how responsible each is in governing what their child is playing/doing. As long as the child is capable of distinguishing between fantasy and reality I see no real problems with most games, but when that line becomes blurred then the problems start. Just like a TV, a PC is not a babysitter and shouldn't be treated as such.
Good parental supervision is a must. I won't allow my daughter to play such games as GTA3 (not that she wants to) but I feel that the language and content are inappropriate for her. Now granted, I've never played games that have such content, but I feel she sees enough criminal and disturbed behaviour in real life and doesn't need to be exposed to any more. When a child asks you to watch him/her "blow away some old granny," that should be an indication that something is wrong. I fail to see how shooting defenseless old age pensioners could be seen as entertaining.

I grew up bi-linguistic: Dutch (prime language) and English. Why? Games and movies. I got into a total of 3 fights in my life which I didn't start. I'm 2 years away from university. Games are bad? uh-UH...
