  •  I agree with you here Blankman (none / 0)

    what we create is a reflection of our reality. If violence didn't exist in the real world, it wouldn't exist in art (games, movies. pictures etc)

    Don't be so hard on yourself Suns, yes it might be a little early, but at the same time you don't want to shelter your sun (:P pun intended) from some of the absolute catastrophes that are going on around the world, at the same time, he's still gotta be a kid ;)

    At least you said something and talked to him about it. Like my mom did, she never really shielded me completely from anything but, she always took the time to explain how, why, where, what and made sure i understood that, either it wasn't real (in the case of a movie or videogame) or why I shouldn't do it.

    Was it the most effective strategy? maybe not. Did it work for me? yep, sure did. Will it work for everyone? most definitely not. Both of you guys seem like you've got your heads on the right way, I'm sure your kids will grow up to be amazing people.

      I think one of the biggest problems with games movies and such, is the parents.

      Letting their kids see these things without explaining, or talking to their child. They expect the kids to learn themselves when really, when they're that young they really are just a blank canvas, if you don't take the time to take care of it, will stain quickly.

      Terrible metaphor I know, but I'm not sure how else to get my point across.
