Pardon my pet peeve... Illegal use of the language, Like souping up car engines...

It's not "souping", it has nothing to do with soup. It's suping as in "Super", to make better. Okay I'm done.

Anyways, if the game is already marked "mature" how are minors buying it in the first place? Retailers and parents who aren't doing their jobs that's how. The sex could and should be left out of the program, but if all the children safeguards are in place but not enforced, then changing the rating and publicizing the story will only act to redouble the sales of the game, placing more of them in the hands of those they are attempting to protect.

If Hitlery were more concerned with the real sex going on under her roof several years ago the sexually explicit materials wouldn't be so pervasive in society today. Not even mentioning the sexually explicit materials forced on children in public schools today. Books and other materials which not only defend homosexuality and promiscuity but endorse them do more to corrupt the minds of children than do a game. Kids aren't forced to play the games.

Look up those words in the urbandictionary.com... LOL that'll teach yea how to speak like a thug gangsta...

Obviously I'm in college and GTA is huge among all the students. Besides Halo it is the number one game I see people playing in the dorms (Halo because you can play with other people on the network)...

These retailers are the ones selling the games to minors. And its not just video games its movies, explicit C'rap (rap... can't spell crap without it) and everything else deemed MATURE.
