I make sure I play everything they play or watch first, then I supervise them in their use.

You, sir, deserve applause.

*applauds*

Congratulations on being one of a dying breed...

Like the grandmother who sued Take 2 because the game about being a violent gang-banger that she bought for her little angel actually had *GASP* a hidden sex scene?

Yeah - people like that ought to be pistol-whipped.

I applaud you then. I was referring to the parents who pass judgment on things they know nothing about, because they can't be bothered to look.

Depending on the wording of the question, I could see why some parents would be more concerned about game violence given the amount of exposure kids have with them compared to Porn and Booze. Take my case for example: I know my kids don't look at porn, and aren't exposed to pressure to try alcohol. But they are constantly exposed to video games, and as such, as a parent, I am most concerned with the effect game violence and gaems' portrayal of base sexuality could have. I make sure I play everything they play or watch first, then I supervise them in their use.

Notice how the parents who actually play video games now and then don't have that insurmountable fear of the unknown, and would probably pick video games for their kids over booze or porn any day.
