While i'm just watching the news( in England) and their talking about how their giving new advice to parents to protect kids online and also have more clear video game ratings( whats so hard about 16+, the official 18 certificate, etc) so parents don't buy violent/sexual content games for their kids.

Well for one thing they showed footage of the game "halo 3" when talking about violent video games. LMAO! Sorry but i own all three of the halo games and if you've ever seen them you'll know really they are not very violent at all, especially when you consider they showed online footage. A guy shooting a rocket at another guy, his body flying away( no blood at all) going "uhh". So really it;s like they want every kid up to 18 to play little disney advemture games or something. Look 18 certificate, just like movies... means ok there;s probably violence, some sexual scenes or something which maybe isn't suitable for younger kids.

16+ generally means the game itself is rather complex and a little kid may not understand, Halo is 16+, generally 16+ suggests come "violent themes" as in a shooter is about shooting other players, but no gore.

Also about the internet... it's like they think porn just appears on your screen when you click IE or firefox. What parents and anyone in politics who wants more internet controls doesn't seem to understand is that their child has probably gone to google and searched " naked people" or "sex" or something. Before i willingly looked at porn on the internet, i had never come across porn just popping up on the kind of websites kids visit. The only time I've seen clear porn on a non porn site is from some dodgey sites where you download trainer( things that let you cheat at games that don't officially have cheat codes). Sometimes their will be a pornographic banner ad, but that's it really.....

Maybe parents and others need to stop shielding their children from every little thing. Otherwise were going to have a generation that can't cope with anything.
