Drwho, you really shouldn't be here if you're going to get so butthurt and emotional over a thread. Also, if you're going to say things like that, you should be less of a hypocrite and have personal experience to back it up.
Also people who expect me to be real nice and cater to them. The ones who get offended when I tell them the truth. Sorry, I don't give special treatment to anybody.
While it may seem that most parents forego the ratings system when buying games for their kids, the system is very much needed. Much so, actually, because of politics. Without the system, most opponents of video games could make the simple argument of "Oh look, they're selling bloody, violent games to everyone now! The horror!," and would probably have a good case to start a campaign to get rid of video games.
