Exactly how does introducing young kids, aged 6-9 let's say as I have seen kids around this age speak highly of GTA, to extremely violent games make life safer for them?
Yes, violence is real, and there are probably a ton of violent films which young kids might be able to watch to learn the horrors of it. But GTA? There are really no ramifications for the actions done in that game, how is that healthy for someone so young? Good parenting can overcome this, easily, but to say something to the effect that all kids, for their own sake, should be exposed to these violent games as soon as possible is moronic.
Did I say it was introducing? I look at my post and see that you made something up and twisted a real meaning of it. I prefer if 6-9 year olds knew it was there with knowledge obviously taught by their parents to begin with. If a child is old enough to ask questions he/she is old enough to learn. Its better that way then by accident through finding it in a closet or through a friend. What happens there? Also what if the child goes all messed up? Who is to blame? I'm simply won't waste my time blaming I'll use my time teaching that kid whats right and wrong so when he/she does see it they're more mature about it.
Also this violence is better than sex is just an oppinion and concept that most people have hard pinned on them. The fact that something is real or not doesn't determine anything. We just know whats real and what isn't. Plus when you watch something you're suppose to let it go at the moment because it ruins it. I'm all against showing porn but when sex shows up on a TV show like lets say Buff The Vampire Slayer or an a child should obviously be supervised but I won't be all evangelical on them saying its the devil. If they want to watch let them, if they don't then don't let them.
