You need to open your eyes. Some of us do not have kids but we are sick of living in a society full of juvenile delinquents because there are lazy parents. I should not have to pay for the sins of the same people you want to knock as if people like me do not exist. I doubt you enjoy putting up with children that come from parents that care not to raise them. I get sick of them breaking into my car, personally. But the bottom line should be states rights. As long as the SC does not want CA to stop kids from buying Duke Nukem forever then I do not see how they can allow age restrictions on Playboy Magazine, R rated movies, etc.

This decision is a blow against parental rights to decide how their children are to be raised and what they are allowed to be exposed to.

That is why I was trying to say that it is not the video games or the music, but the absentee parents. I am going to date myself here and bring up the parent who tried to sue Ozzy Osbourne because their teen listened to him for 15 hours and then committed suicide. I can tell you after 2 hours I would of gone in my teen's room and locked him out of the house to get some son. Why would the parent let him listen to OO for 15 hours??

These laws were put in place to aid good responsible parents who don't want their kids exposed to these things. If you take away the laws, then kids can go behind their parent's backs to buy inappropriate games which the parents would never approve of. The only kids who were getting their hands on these games before were the kids whose parents didn't care what games their kids were playing because they had to get their parents to buy the games for them under the old law. Now anybody's kid can walk into a store and buy whatever game they want without their parents knowledge of approval.

Stop blaming everybody else, its called "personal responsibility" and in my opinion, its the biggest problem with our country today.
