Even if music, movies, and games influence behavior that is no excuse to blame companies for what your kids do or did. If you really don't want your kid to play violent games then DON'T BUY HIM ANY! It is that simple. I am tired of parents blaming others for their own weakness and lack of ability to parent. My parents did not get me Diablo my dad bought it for himself and said if I played it I would get my ass kicked in 9 different ways and that was the end of that. I didn't touch any games, music, or movies that my parents said not to touch until I was the proper age and even then I still respected their input. I remember when the lady at the store would not let me buy Diablo 2 because I was only 14 and it had a M rating so my father bought it for me. Then when I played it I noticed that there was absolutly no reason to give it an M rating. The gore is not that bad and the context of the game was very interesting to think about. Either way I was only allowed 2 hours a day back then and even today I police myself on how much time I play games.

Another thing that really pisses me off is the way people let their kids watch certain movies. I hear 11-16 year olds talking about the movie 300 online all the time. Now my question is: Why bitch about what is in that movie rather than telling your kid they cannot watch it? Why should I cut out anything from my creation because you want your kid to be able to see it? I made the movie for adults and possibly mature teens NOT middle schoolers. So why should I be hassled when you aren't doing your duty as a parent and telling your kid no? Once again people want others to pay for and deal with their own weakness and lack of abilities.

This country pisses me off and all I can say is that it has become a cesspit of humanity. Just like France...

So to all you unfit parents out there: Bravo! You have made the U.S. look worse than France. Great job on being a weak piece of shit.
