Wouldn't it be conservative who ***** and moan about it and not liberal?
I have no problem with the ratings system at all. I do have a problem people blaming videogames for bad shit that happens in life.
I have a few M rated games; namely Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles. Most of my games are E and T so I wouldn't care.

Yeah it's not like it's the parent's job to monitor what they're kids are doing; no it's everyone else's job.

Yep, and that's why we have the ratings system to help parents with games.
The ratings system might be useless in 10-15 years when everybody who plays games now has kids.

I wouldn't think so. There'll still be people (who did not play games) with kids who DO want to play games. Gamers still don't make up a majority of people!
I like the ratings system; I dislike the people who don't listen when I explain to them what's in a game, buy it for their kid anyway, and then come back bitching that it was a horrible horrible game and the world is going to hell in a handbasket and why did I sell them that game?
Idiots.
(the best was some lady saying a Naruto PS2 game was too violent for her kid...who was about 15...)

The problem is more along the fact that most people don't care...
My Mom, for example, took to Gamestop to buy Ninja Gaiden II a couple of months ago and when we got to the resgister the dude their was like "You know this game's rated M for mature due to intense violence, nudity, etc. right?" And she's (being a devout Chritstian and everything) just like "yeah whatever just rig it up I'm in a rush. " Even though we just went home after that. haermm
