I know that games have ratings. What's the point of having the rating? So parents can decide what they want their child to be exposed to. Nothing says that a 7-year old can't go and buy GTA 2 right now. I'm not saying he shouldn't have that right. My point is that somebody (i.e. parental units) should have enough authority to say "No, you're too young to play this, Jimmy." I think it would solve a lot of problems. You're not going to stop a kid from buying an "M" game. He'll get it from somewhere that will sell it to him. Same with beer, porn, or cigarettes. I guess I'm trying to say that it should be more about parenting and less about rtings. I wish my dad would have stopped me from renting "Doom" when I was 12, because it scared the **** out of me. Making better ratings systems will make our society better.
