Thought this could be an interesting thread, I've posted it on a few other forums, but got stupid posts (Mostly because they are kids pretending to be cool).

I'm sure many of you will know about the Grand Theft Auto series of games, and there was a new one realsed last Tuesday (GTA IV).

A lot of people (Including Hillary Clinton) are trying to get the game banned (Thats how I read it).

Do you blame Rockstar for the teen crime around today, or is it more the parents? The game is rated 18 (Not sure what it is in the US, Mature or something?).

What age where you when you where allowed to watch 12, 15 and 18 rated films / play games.

For me I was allowed to when I was a year before, however my dad didn't mind me watching 18's when I was 15, but I saw that as a treat as it wasn't everyday.

I dont believe there is that much of a difference of age between 17 and 18 (Mature wise) (Cant really comment on the other ages for me >.>).

I was having dinner with my family around easter time, my sister had a friend round (Both 12 at the time), I was talking to my step dad and mum about the Saw films as I had watched them during the week, and my sisters friend had seen Saw 4. There where parts in there that I couldn't watch, and I know that its not real. Scares me that someone that age watches films like that.

I've kinda gone off topic about GTA, but its all linked.

What are your thoughts about this? I expect lots of different thoughts :D
