Your argument with the parents is not good enough. You said that parents were working two jobs in the first post, if you meant that there were two parents with a job like you just posted, then you're right.
That's still no excuse for parents to not be good parents. It takes 10 seconds or less to see, look at, and know what " M+ 17+ only" means. Parents don't look and buy them just to give their kids something to do and not bother them, and then they have the nerve to ***** about it. What a country.
It's completely asinine to say that these games are targeting to audiences below the high school age, which I would put at 15. Once you're in high school, you know what's real and what isn't. Someone who doesn't has serious mental problems, and should be examined.
It also doesn't help your argument in the fact that AoC is a P2P game, and for most people that means a credit card, which means a PARENT must provide it, which again is a case of bad parenting.

I m done for the night on the subject. But let me live you with a site :

Also got another but I m trying to burn some catfish.
In the US , pre paid cards , debit cards , SMS , and other devices are allowing children to access material they shouldnt.
All of my friends are parents , I m 31 , I have 1 niece and 1 nephew , take care kids from 7 to 15 , when thier parents work. Its too easy to say to be a good parent when so much stuff is out of thier control.
Everyone has do thier part , , most people like retailers , and video game developers dont.

Also most of the reports I m studying are widely viewed as moderate in tone and neutral in point of view. The study I cited , covers 33 private and government studies , it has 2.5k pages in volume 1 , and over 25 charts.
I could bore you to tears on some of the studies. I also like writing the bias studies , which if I want to make a point on marketing to kids. I d pull out the Daniels / Mcfariel report which is loaded with pre determined points of views. I think Daniels / Mcfariel are employed by Joe Lieberman / Cnn lol.
