parents won't let me play.

You really have no right to do what you want when you're a child in the US.

it doesn't matter if his parents are morally wrong OMG THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END BECAUSE HE CANT PLAY A GAME or not, if they say no, and he does it anyways, his parents can punish him for it. He's expected to obey them. No judge on this planet is going to do anything to his parents because they didn't let him play games.

I knew kids that tried to do things they were told not to anyways and we sent those to boot camp.

Look, it's different if your parents are trying to discipline you, in this case, they are wrong about Skyrim, but it's not like they are abusive or anything, when I am talking about judging their character, I am talking about how they treat other people, their vices, their honesty, how closed or open minded they are, things like that, if they actually are abusive toward you.

I still think its hilarious when you hear the 5 yr. old who screams a lot and drops an f bomb every 2 sec.

When I was 10, as soon as there weren't any advlts in the room, kids would curse like crazy. South Park is VERY accurate in that regard. Also, the kids who are like that turn out to be low life degenerates when they get older, and those parents are doing a sub par job.

I think it's weird how people think that Skyrim should be T, seeing as how you can lop people heads off and do cocaine(that is what Skooma is, right, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

Don't get me started on COD I have heard 5 year olds saying they would [censored], and screaming and cursing into the mic. Personally I think they should start pumping kids up with Amphetamines at a early age. Imagine a world were children were quiet no longer little brat, who [censored] and moan about everything that happens.

That has nothing to do with the kids and more with terrible, terrible parents.

I'm related to one. Nephew's a terroristic little and my sister just throws him aside telling him to play playstation or watch spongebob or something to get him out of her hair. He's like 7.

parents not wanting to actually raise their kids to be respectable human beings, as well as that stupid "but I need to be my kid's friend, he won't like me, blah blah blah" BS also needing to stop. You're not their friend, you're their damned parent. Start acting like it.

like someone else said, Arena and daggerfall were worse but still got a T rating

Rating systems have also changed since Arena and Daggerfall.

Did you know that Saving Private Ryan almost got a NC-17 rating due to one particular sequence?

Today's PG-13 is yesterday's G. Tell me ONE *new* Disney movie that isn't one of their documentary types that has been rated G in the past 5 years.

Graphics have also gotten more involved and detailed then. You can bet your ass that if Daggerfall had Oblivion's graphics, it wouldn't have been rated T.

I own a war movie with people getting shot and blood splattering everywhere yet the box still says its rated G

The movie is Battle of Britan if I remember correctly

I'm fine with tech talk just as long as there is no mention of a MOAB or "noob tubes"

I liked it better when COD wasn't as popular and other games took center stage

MOAB isn't originally a CoD thing.

As a firearms and incendiary devices nut, I discuss this thing in my home and with friends as a rather regular topic, and we do not discuss Call of Duty.

I think half of it is on the parents and half of it's on the kids. My 12th grade physics teacher had two kids, both of which I met. His daughter was a great and brilliant girl. Went to Yale, despite the fact that she is neither a legacy student nor going to some ultra prestigious magnet school (parents couldn't afford it). I never met his son, but all I know is that he is in jail right now for dealing meth. I'm not making this up. They were both raised by the same people.

He doesn't need to be 17. He should be mature enough to understand the content. I was playing M games since I was 13.

That is true. But if he's a senior in high school and can't make his own decisions about something as minor as this. Grow a pair.

Show your mom this thread, there is no six or nudity whatsoever, gamestop are just stupid idiots, they say stuff when they don't even know what they're talking about, never buy from them again (best buy or something is way better, they don't comment on what you buy or stuff). If it were my option, this game would be rated T. I've seen people at age 9 play this game.

Well, the thing is, there are either states with no snow at all, or states with a lot of snow. The states with a lot of snow, the people are prepared for it and have bought all the necessary equipment for getting around in the snow, so they rarely have a snow day, only if it is a massive blizzard or something. Whereas the states that get no snow or snow rarely are not prepared, because its cheaper to close down everything once or twice a year than it is to prepare for something like this

That's the thing. Much of Oregon gets snow quite often. Washington gets snow quite often.

Here in NorCal, snow isn't exactly common, but I have yet to come across a local that can't handle their vehicle on icy roads. I'm originally from western Pennsylvania. Bad roads? Low range. *Really* bad roads? Chains. Low range. I have many a "fond" memory(loose term here) of driving across interstate 80 straddling both lanes in the middle of the road behind the only snow plow on the road with my feet up on the dash singing "this is the song that never ends" while we waited 30 minutes to get to the next exit, 2 miles away.

Had I had my current vehicle, we would have been around that damned plow and on the ramp in less than 10. Never again will I live out east without a damned 4wd truck. Ever.

It's not gamestop, its the ESRB, which applies to Best Buy as well. Also, she said not to bring it up or no morrowind and oblivion, its better not to test that

No, I want to return to the guilded age where monopolies would [censored] us over and leave us for destitute. Those were some good times

It's your mom, dude, while I personally don't agree with the decision, I do understand that she just wants to ensure she raises you right. Man up and Respect your parent's decision.

I never met his son, but all I know is that he is in jail right now for dealing meth. I'm not making this up. They were both raised by the same people.

Typically when that happens it has nothing to do with the parents themselves but how they treated the kids individually. I have some similar stories as well. Boyfriend's sister and he have differing issues. Raised by same parents, he turned out fine, but his sister is a wee bit insane. She got away with everything as she was the favorite, and still continues to get away with doing things now that I couldn't dream of when I was her age(she just turned 21, her parents are paying for her college and living expenses out of town out of pocket so she still has to abide by their rules unless she wants to pay for both herself.. which she doesn't).

My sister and I as well. My sister(mentioned above with said 7 year old child) and I were raised by the same parents. Divorced parents, Stepfather and Mom were the resident parental units. I turned out mostly fine(little eccentric.. people think I'm nuts) and my sister's been in trouble with the law quite a few times, busted for drugs. I had emotional issues growing up and required more attention from Mom in the form of counseling sessions, doctor appointments, and other various things, and it made my sister rebellious and jealous. She started doing stupid stuff for attention, and it worked. She continued doing stupid stuff as she got older.

I now get accolades from my mother since I'm 31 years old and not constantly asking her for money or to babysit or whining about everything like my 30 year old sister does. ><
