These things piss me off to no end.

When is society going to start taking responsibility for their own actions? You can't point the finger and blame others for the rest of your life...

First off, the game is rated M. That's about all that needs to be done. As long as the chains ID those who appear to be under 18, there isn't a problem. If parents are buying this for their kids, then perhaps it's the PARENTS who should be sued by the game company for giving them bad press.

Second of all, if you can't suppress the urge to repeat things you experience in video games and you're of a reasonable age (especially 17), then you're an idiot and you have problems.

Simple solution to this: throw the kid in jail. If it's determined that the mother didn't raise her child properly (which is pretty obvious), then punish the mother as well.

But by all means, do NOT go after these video game companies; they've done nothing wrong. I enjoy playing games like Doom, Manhunt, and GTA. Provided they have the proper rating, there's nothing at all wrong with them.

The stupidity of people just baffles me to no end.
