[The FTC report] called the ESRB rating system "a useful and informative tool that parents increasingly use to help them make informed decisions about games for their children." Its nationwide survey of over 1,300 parents showed that nearly nine in ten parents with children that play video games are satisfied with the ESRB rating system, three in four use it regularly, 94% find the ratings easy to understand, and 59% never let their children play Mature-rated games.

Is it such a bad thing that kids are playing M-Rated titles if the parents are aware? Obviously, the parents either trust their children (don't see that these days...), or the children are genuinely mature enough to handle a little blood and/or boobs and/or f@#&s here and there without squealing like little girls. That quote touts the percentage of households barring such games like it's a poison and more people should wrap their arms around their sheltering ideals.
Well I give NIMF an F- So who cares.
OMG its not that hard it really isnt what do you find acceptable for your kid to play hell you could even use the esrb ratings how hard is it the ratings are in every games section i mean is it really that hard to figure out a game buy the name Grand theft auto might not be good for a 5yr old is it really that hard to figure out a game called manhunt isn't the best game for a 10yr old? i mean just look at the back of the box
rental shops are F where i am its close to 10 dollars to rent games for a 5 day rental, not fair. So i don't even rent games to be honest. Its too much money. Hell the PS2 games to rent was just as much. Idk but i agree with the NIMF.
I just don't see a reason why M rated games are problem, we have kids having intercourse around 13 or 14 that isn't influenced by games but peer pressure. Seriously who gives a crap, its already proven that games don't cause violence and people have yet to open there eyes.
