Debate: Should Kids buy M rated games?

First of all Parents blame kids on violence behavious because of videogames. They blame their childrens actions because of GTA but they don't understand that a small percentage of those kids only use videogame violence and incorporate it in their life.

ESRB already has games that are categorized in different areas.

E-everyone
EC- early childhood
T- teen (more like 10+)
AU- Adult (you'll rarely see this)
M- mature (17+)

I say let kids buy what they buy because they use their own discretion when buying. But if the kid is that gangster type then parents should get involved. It's not the games fault, it's the parents.

Nah, I dont think they should. If a kid wants a game like that, that badly, then the parents have to look into getting it for them.

good point, as kids are using techniques in the game in real life.

GTA for example. 2 children die as they went on the highway and tried to jack a car.

Well really as we are exposed to much more offensive(or whatever you want to call it) things these days I dont see any reason for limiting something that cannot be limited.

I went to england
I went to a store, Games Store

They said here you go
I pay them 59 euro, since that the prize
I walk out of the store, at the age of 12?
Is that cool, the store dude know my age, he still sells it to me?
