If kid gets pregnant, or ends up with AIDS, family is still around to support forever.

I'm betting the parents would rather the kid just get life I prison so they can move on with their life.

Actually... my real guess would be sex is a bigger issue for parents than murder. Most parents will never have to live with a child murdering someone, but many have to deal with sex's variety of problems.

Bingo.

It still seems like such a strange skew of values to me though.

Dylflon, I highly recommend the Documentary "This Film Is Not Yet Rated."

It's a highly enjoyable film that looks at the way the MPAA rates films with sex and nudity. America is the strangest country in the world, we have problems with 3 major things: alcohol, sex and guns. I don't understand it.

My biggest frustration isn't that people are upset about nuduty and sex in video games, its people knowing what the fuck they are talking about. The whole "hot coffee" outrage was justified. This was hardcore pornography secretly hidden in a game to avoid an unfavorable rating. If I was a parent, and I thought my kid could handle the violence, I at least can look at the rating and make those decisions.

In Mass Effect's case, people are outraged at the report of sex being in a game and giving absolutely no context to it. In the descriptions that these "pundits" give of the sex scene, it becomes quite obvious they've never seen it and are knee jerk reacting to the mere association of sexuality in a game that it obviously intended for a mature audience on every level.

They should be publicly exposed for the ignorant opportunists they are.

Jack Thompson says that the Mass Effect controversy is completely manufactured and rediculous. He has no issues with the game...

My brain just melted...
