Bullshit.

I'm saying the store is inconsistent. I think a movie like 'Dead Alive' is far worse for me than a CD with a few swear words in it.

They sold me 'Dead Alive', they wouldn't sell me the CD.

So both carry the same rating then.

You're right - they shouldn't have sold you either.

:eek:

Or both.

:D

If there were no ratings then everything would have to be safe for little kiddies to watch. I'm 33 if I want to watch graphic horror and listen to music telling me to kill a bunch of people I shouldn't be stopped because it could make some dumb 10 year old go out and kill someone. So ratings have a place but censorship sure as hell doesn't. Now if people under age buy stuff they shouldn't be able to and their parents go mental about it and go to the press etc then it makes the politicians try to make stricter rules or start banning stuff, like they tried to in the UK with Grand Theft Auto and Manhunter. I know it sucks if you are under age but think how much it sucks if you are over 30 and suddenly all the stuff you want is either censored or banned!
Any way you can always find someone else to get it for you, or as others have said just get it from the internet.

Rant over;)

Good points, and it boils down to the inability (or reluctance) of parents to take responsibility for their children and not blame their wayward actions on videos and computer games.

Even if, in an alternative universe, this media did put such ideas in young heads then it is again the parents' responsibility to not allow their children exposure to the material.
