I'd have a hard time thinking my child was thinking about how to kill me.

If your kid has a shooter on the computer, s/he is NOT busting caps in the parents. Zombies, Nazis, zombie Nazis, pirates, terrorists . . . I have never, never seen a game staging kids versus parents, and I've been gaming a long time.

"I have never, never seen a game staging kids versus parents, and I've been gaming a long time."

This started with a kid and his school plan shooting game and (as we're want to do sometimes) chased a rabbit into our brains ....

I've never seen a game by kids shooting up a school, but I've seen a school shot up by kids that weren't playing ... but had played games.

Good to see you again, Zene.

How many kids used the mods programs to put in teachers or administrators or friends in Doom or Castlewolfenstein?

Unless these jackbooted thought police school administrators found a Super Delux Zapomatic Deathray in the kids closet there is no actual ability to carry out the game.

(mens rea and actus rea for those lawyers from rio linda)

I hope this kid sues the pants off the school.

I don't know why people don't understand this. Granted, some of the bloodier FPSs probably aren't good for small children, but I hardly think civilization is going to come crashing down. I guess that since I like CounterStrike, Day of Defeat, Halo 2, and The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion combined with the fact that I own a sword, a few rifles, I'm a blackbelt in karate, and hunting bow, I must be way past a level three terrorist threat. If they knew about me, they'd be at defcon 1 or something...

All those "terrible" games I play, and I've never so much as gotten a speeding ticket.
