Video Game Voter Network




Topic started on 19-6-2008 @ 02:08 PM by Megaton


I'm sort of new to the issues regarding video game content but I was doing some research and found this site as a means to air concerns for politicians:

www.videogamevoters.org...

Has anyone used this site before?

I know my Grandad was given a stick to play with when he was a small boy and he pretended it was a gun, later on he was in WW1 and killed a few of the then enemy.

No one blamed the stick for his actions, then again the pandering PC Brigade was not around then, if they was then Common Sense would have given them a right kicking.

Ok Wolfie..............time to breathe...........inhale...............exhale

Umm... you do know that Toilets were censored from television broadcasts and movies for the longest time. The taboos were different back then but the blame was usually placed on Art. It the great scapegoat. Always will be next to the foreigner with the stranger accent and customs and the lonely, shy introvert with no friends.

As for the thread subject, the best way to make sure your kids do not get exposed to content you don't want them exposed to, it's simple. Be a parent and educate yourself in your childs interests and make sure that you know what the ratings system means.

Anything with this will have lots of blood, swearing and unrealistic nudity.
