Who should be blamed?
OK so an interesting disscussion took place between my friend in I. Which was: Who should be blamed for underage children playing video games that are rated M? The Manufacturers, the parents, or the children themselves?
Example: Games like COD.

Friend who you had the discussion with says: I am still cracking up about how intense everyone in class got over it (Namingly the annoying loser who thinks the Taliban is the Al-Quaeda (? I think I spelt that wrong... Brackets inside brackets...)) He always walks away when he's about to lose. God!
So my point of view on this initially was: The manufacturer should be blamed. They make them, sell them to old people and then don't care about what happens as long as they get their money...
My view now, after an interesting class debate, on this subject is: Yes, though the parents and children themselves are to blame as well, the primary blame goes to the manufacturers.
Why?(:)
- these games are not being monitored many kids under legal age are playing these -though they may think they aren't going to grow up and kill, their brain get desensitized or 'Brainwashed' into being okay with killing and excessive violence making them more prone to killing and violence - using war to make a video'game' is sick and twisted, makig a mockery of reali life events that are actually occuring in reality around the world - when they play that video'game' they die, it's game over, reboot and start to play again. To the soldiers in the real world, they die, no new life, no going back to the same check point. They are DEAD. they had real families, relatives, friends, pets co-workers. -if your friend got killed by a dog, you wouldn't like dogs that much. So imagine how the poor family of that dead soldier's feel when they see Call of Duty on the shelves, a mockery of a/the war that caused their child's/sibling's death! Totally horrible.
So though parents and others shouldn't be buying/playing or letting others play these 'games' the manufacturers are mainly at fault for be so sickening as to make and sell these video'game's.
You think war and violence filled games are fun, exciting, adrenaline inducing? You are so wrong, in my opinion, because I bet it wouldn't be so great to be sent to a real battle, to have to actually kill or get killed.
My last statement: People in most countries join the army because they want to defend, protect and help their countries, whether it costs them their life. They should be honored and respected, instead video'game' makers twist their stories and make mockery out of it to 'entertain' young teens and give them the idea that war is fun.

Shame on them is what I say.
