I don't have a TV in my living room, I keep it in my bedroom where I can
tightly control what and when my kids watch. Both of my girls have their own
computer, and they are on a table in the hallway above the stairs where I
can again tightly control what and when they use them.. And I let them play
on my OP4 server, where I have strict swear filters and where their friends
(and Daddy) (me, doh) come to visit on a regular visit. And I home school
them so I can control what and when they are taught what they are taught.
This morning we are all sitting on the floor around the front room table
(where there is no TV) and doing our school work (I'm in school (again)
also)(math is evil)(linear algebra is evil)(calculus is particularly evil).
They think it's the best quality time, doing homnework with Daddy. This
afternoon we will go bike riding if it's not raining. And tonight, if they
get their school work done, I'll let them play on the game cube for a while,
and maybe even let them play some OP4..
Drop by my OP4 server some evening and visit my girls. And leave your potty
mouth behind (if you have one) or one of us will ban your sorry arse.

Parents have the last word regardless of what the "law" thinks!
We cannot shield them from everything and we should not try or they will
not learn what to avoid. It's a very fine line and few any more care
enough to try. They would much rather say that the video game
manufacturers, television and movie makers should be held responsible
for their lack of effort. More parents should play with their children
instead of using the TV and video games as babysitters. "I had a hard
day. Why don't you go watch TV or something?" Welcome to the 21st
Century. :(
Just my opinion anyhow.

And hell, parents are responsible for their kids - if you don't want your
kids seeing porn sprays, why are they playing an (arguably) violent
computer
game? Certainly here, CS is rated R16, which means those under 16 are
_not_
allowed to play it, regardless of what their parents may think.
