Over half of parents allow their children to play 18+ rated games without supervision or knowledge about the game, according to a recent survey conducted by Childcare.co.uk. Sampling over 2000 parents from across the UK, the survey reveals the stark difference in parental perceptions of games compared to other media. 86% of parents admitted they do not pay attention to age restrictions on games, compared to just 23% who stated they don’t follow similar guidelines for films. Indeed, just eighteen percent of parents said they would let a ten-to-fourteen year-old child watch an 18-rated movie. “What’s interesting is that the majority of parents follow film age ratings, but when it comes to video games they maybe aren’t as strict. It’s important to remember how impressionable children are; if they see behaviour or language in a video game or movie, they may mimic it.” It’s a striking set of statistics, but what the survey doesn’t reveal is why parents are less strict with monitoring gaming age-ratings. Do they simply believe that all games are for children despite the number on the box? Or do they think that any material depicted in a virtual form can’t be as bad as similar content depicted by real actors in a film? Either way, it’s not surprising that gaming violence so frequently causes public hysteria if parents are letting their kids play this stuff. www.pcgamer.com/half-children-18-games/

People are killed over ridiculous things. Saying that there is any connection to that thing, and the murder is silly. Yes, police traced it back to the video game.

Wait are you saying that violence from videogames are killing people or literally fighting over games are killing people? I was saying video games got people killed. Also some died playing video games like nonstop and in public too. That's all So the latter then. Also playing videogames nonstop is pretty retarded shrug

There are video games that got people killed in real life. There needs to be some kind of ban And how do you suppose training soldiers for killing? After all, there are many tv-shows, yt-shows, movies, magazines... etc. which are harm and blame people for nothing. They can laugh and cry out, strike them with their witty voices etc. So, tv and yt, and soc-media might be more killer than any games. Moreover, videogames always rated, and they had logos of age-limits. If the parents allow their children to dealt with those game, perhaps they or someone else will be paying for their fault, or be glad of their victory. Some people are needed in games, and some are not. It's hardly to say who, after playing that game, would become a maniac, and who would became a talented creator, an artist, etc. Don't you know that many artists were killers, pedophiles, high, on drugs, mental psychos? If you want to check it, you can read C. Lombroso's "Genius and Insanity", where he wrote about such things.

But I'm against wars too so don't want them trained to kill. Shrug

Videogames don't killing, people do.

But people have died from video games and wars. ...Well, I thought that you said that people die in video games. No, I don't think that people died because of video games, or war, or something else. During the history lots of books were written and lots of legends were created about how one folk was killed by some gods or some deity, one tribe was destroyed from their enemies which were celebrated wrong gods. So, there were many accusations from one folk, tribe or a man to another. Many of them blamed another ones. But the main reason of those killing was not in fairy-tales gods, or some deities, but from a human. Even Kane killed his brother. He had no reason to do it, but he did. He did not have any reason, because all those reasons of envying or something else weren't good reasons or explanations, it was just something that allowed him to kill it. Therefore, Kane was going to kill his brother, but he had no reason to do it, so he started searching for it in his soul, and he find it. It would be impossible to think about reason of killing, and after about killing itself. I think that this moment is kinda detailed, so we can ask about this of @eodnhoj7 So, I think that in the beginning the thought of killing appears in our soul, and after it we're going to search for explanations of it (aka reasons). Anyway, the man is who's planning, or plotting something, that's why responsibilities of his actions lay on his own conscience. Video games or wars are second-product imaginations of those plans.

To shield the child from all forms of violence is effectively do violence to the child itself as the child will not be able to comprehend nor deal with any situation outside of his or her understanding. Now am I arguing all children should be allowed to play violent video games non-stop? No, like everything, it must be done in moderation. Where a child may play a violent video game in today's times, they would play "war" or fight in another. The problem of videogames stems in the problem of how it may distort a child's understanding of reality, however in a culture based around entertainment as the primary means of socialization this view of reality is already distorted.

Murders have been committed for countless stupid reasons, the fact that one led back to a video game means nothing in itself. I'm not excusing the murder, I'm merely saying; the fact that it was a video game caused a murder doesn't mean we have to do something about video games. If we banned all the things that led to murders, people would find new reasons to murder people.

They need to be active and be productive. They can play outside and stuff like that. Too much tv, video games, and technology in general is not good. Also bad for eyesight as Lone Wanderer mentioned in another thread. Shrug

You are absolutly right, instead of playing first player shooting games they should go out in the woods and shoot paint balls and bb guns at eachother...and when they run out of ammo they can throw rocks...and when they throw rocks they can grab sticks and dual it out....
After they dual it out they can relax to Wagner and Beethoven while doing their math and physics in effort to learn how to build rockets to launch at eachother...
with Beethoven's 5th symphony playing in the background of course
followed by Wagner's the God's Enter Valhalla
as they eye eachother off and prepare their weapons of war....
Upon the realization that the rockets they built will knock a whole tree down, the children will then place better emphasis on learning out to construct forts to shield them from the chaos and carnage birthed by their new found knowledge in physics and math.
They can hire local kids to act as emissaries in order to negotiate terms of peace and avoid mutually assured destruction by a cascade of home built rockets and M-80s...in doing so practice their public speaking and communication skills.
One child will learn the importance of upholding the values of a republic and recite "I have a dream" to the neighborhood children, while the other can practice reciting mein kampf to the children below him from on top of his fort...then the whole neighborhood will descend into chaos and war as factions of children rehearse the final battle of Armageddon.
And after that I will take them out for ice cream and watch finding nemo.
All of this on a standard Saturday morning before lunch off course....
