[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]Frankly this isn't even a bad thing. Xbox live isn't restricted to just adults and teenagers. Kids can use it too and a gun isn't a very kid friendly thing. You guys can play with guns in all your rated M shooters you love so much.

Oh that is hogwash. Society babies children far too much. When I was younger there was GI Joe, Transformers, He-Man, ect. Kids would pretend army with toy guns or space fighters or whatever. Now kids can not even look at a gun, no scoring during kids soccer, every damn thing is baby proofed, play dates, some school will not even allow teachers to use a red pen because it hurts the child's feelings,ect. A kid is not going to look at a fake gun on a avatar and think oh crap I need to shoot someone. Society is turning our boys into pansy girls.Yeah I'm sorry but a gun is not a kid friendly thing. A gun is meant to kill a person and a little kid has no grasp of what killing a person is like or what it looks like to watch someone die or even about the concept of death itself. Would you like to show kids uncensored clips of killings? Would that toughen them up? No actually, let's show them people actually dying since it would be more realistic :roll:You hardly seem like you have a grasp about this yourself. I get it, playing soldier and watching violent things isn't something new to western culture. It doesn't change the fact that 5 year old and younger kids don't need to see guns on market place, its not as though this is something that is damaging to the Xbox brand as a whole. Its just a bunch of whiny babies acting like taking away their virtual guns is a crime. Sucks to be you.
As far as the rest, no kids really don't need to be exposed to guns, what on earth do they need gun exposure for. You notice how in transformers no one actually dies in the fashion a real gun kills? Its because its a kids show primarily. No scoring during soccer is something else entirely. Its called being a gracious winner. There is no real need to destroy a team 13-0. It makes no difference besides exerting that you are the best team like a prick there is nothing to be gained by that score, you're not turning pro in house league soccer, its suppose to be fun :roll:
The red pen philosphy in itself is something that isn't even about protecting children's feelings, no one gives a shiit about that. Its actually about the illusion of results being produced put on the government. Anyway, this is stupid, raise your kid exposed to violent things if you wish but in the end being a "pansy girl" (man you're immature) is irrelevant to the majority of peoples lives. Most people are too busy surviving to give a shiit about some idiotic perception of their "manhood".
