Guess what? Kids like violent games! It's part of being a kid.

By putting all the good games off limits, you only encourage kids to break the rules, seeking the forbidden fruit.

We have to teach our kids about the world that they must live in, as it is, not some sugar coated, censored edition. Hard core video games are part of learning about the world. Better that kids experience these things vicariously before they must confront them in reality.
