Well, it's been rated AO over here, which isn't technically a banning but Sony and Nintendo don't want to sell AO games (though I don't see how they could really stop it).

I don't know that kids are any more violent than they ever were. I think we just hear about it more. And perhaps the outlets for violent tendencies have changed. I don't see so many kids with BB guns as I used to. And my grandfather and his friends used to spend their free time throwing ROCKS at each other. All I've noticed is that some have NO attention-span or discipline, which I blame more on sugar and television.

I agree the parents have the most responsibility, but I think we all bear a little responsibility for making sure kids turn out decent. That's just part of being a society, and making sure kids don't end up too messed-up by their parents.
