War Games

As you know as things progress more and more things are made to "push" the envelope to see just how far they can go without pissing everyone off. Needless to say games are a very big part of that, such as, war games like Modern Warfare, Metal of Honor, ext. With war comes violence and with violence comes complaining. With games having this violence in it there has been a huge debt on the "allowance" of violence in video games. First i would like to point out that I am sort of but not committed to violent games. Almost no one should argue fantasy violence like some final fantasy game should not be taken to seriously because, hey its fake. But with the coming of more realistic games such of modern warfare comes this argument. Most arguments come from the parents of kids playing these games saying "its to violent" , "its to real" , "its to blah blah blah" well my argument back to them is IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT THEN DO NOT LET THEM PLAY IT. Not only that but people are trying to dodge the fact that the world has war in it if we try and ban these we are just banning the ignorance of our people. its more like they are saying "we killed massive amounts of people but that never actually happened". I for one am a firm believer in the non-spoon-fed history of the world or destroying what actually happened. Do we want our children to become ignorant to the ways of the world? NO i say! However I am not for like 3 year old playing war games because they have not matured enough yet to contemplate it, which is why THERE ARE RATINGS FOR GAMES as i go back to my previous bold statement. It is like they are buying their child a gun and not expect them to use it. It is very dumb how people go about trying to express their opinions when in actuality most are a bunch of hypocrites who just want to whine and have it their own way. Wow, that was a harsh sentence there, maybe i should cut back the rant just a tad. As I am sure you know their are people who picket or boycott just because other people are doing it. It is mob physiology and i am tired of how much it is used in today society. With the press and news trying to have their views on the world so that others would follow it no mater how blind they might be in that since. And then their are the people in the world who just want to piss everyone they can off so they try on whatever topic it is and go on the opposing side. So in conclusion before i go off even more i am for violence in games however i am also for people not being an idiot.
