I think by this point in the thread I agree with you on that pretty completely. But it does leave me self searching on what I think about the limits that should be imposed on minors and their restriction to content.

You can say their parents are doing a bad job, and they probably are, but at what point do you think it becomes appropriate? Sure, it's different for every kid, but... I dunno. I guess I just feel that 6-10 there are very few kids that are ready for that content, but I know that when I was 10 my mom would've gotten me GTA IV without question. In her case I don't think it was bad parenting. She was aware of content, but thought I was mature enough to tell fantasy from reality and felt that there's no point hiding certain realities (like the fact that people cuss and have sex and sometimes even shoot other people).
