The KGB Oracle Forums The KGB Great Hall of History (ARCHIVE) Darkfall Public Forum Angry Wife

I have to say, I tend to lean twords what vuldan said, kinda. I dont know you or your wife or your kids or your situation. And really, its none of our business except that you posted the details of it here.

That said, If you like me are a gamer, and like games etc something you might have realied by now is that a lot of games are "violent"

assuming that you, like most of us are american that means that you live in american culture, where we generally think that violence is funny. Watch TV for a few minuets, flip some channels there will be violence, and sometimes comical violence.

That said, unless you are home-schooling your children they will be exposed to violent imagery, sexual imagery, etc etc. And even if they are home schooled, there is internet out there if you look hard enough and the internet has all sorts of shit on it.

All that said, its your life, and what ever you need to do to be happy in it really should not fall under the judgement of any of us here. If you are unhappy, work on that shit bro. Life is short and we should treat it as such such (respectfully)

just my 2 cents.

I dont think exposure is a bad thing. I mean I played Cops and robbers as a kid then violent vids all my life and never had a problem determining reality from fantasy. If your kids have friends, just know they are all at the one house that is lax playing grand theft auto on a daily basis. In my opinion, it is better not to make it taboo.

It's like with alcohol: let your kids to try it soon and under supervision so it does not become some crazy taboo they go overboard when teenager.

Very true.. I know some parents that let their kid play GTA or even CoD type games.. with the sound on I may add.. so not only do they see the violence but they are also listening to foul mouthed 13 to 25 yr olds. We allowed my boy to play them but the sound had to be off completely. as well as we go over the difference in the game vs Real life.


cartoons are worse honestly... My kid learned most of his "shit talk" from watching cartoons like bakugan or beybladez.. those characters are always talking smack to each other.

I just watched the movie Rise of the Guardians, I put forward it was about elf murder and slavery as well as taking butt tons of acid. In the end we decided the moral of the story was if all your friends are maybe getting killed jump into a river of lsd because you will make it to the end of the story.
