LOL....suddenly they are being called "children" again instead of "young people"

When will the liberal-minded make up their minds

Everything now seems to be about covering your ***, if you report the parents it can't come back to haunt you in years to come when a scandal of some form comes out and they are blaming everyone

Good! About time, the Xbox and Play Station 18+ games are not good for the children of this country. There 18+ for a reason

I completely agree with this and glad someone has finally taken a stance against it. This is for protecting primary school age children and I really don't care how any parent tries to justify it there is absolutely no way that children aged 11 years or under should be playing COD or GTA

Yes they will do and there are lots of other games they love playing. It's only a "fashion" game anyway.

It's a pity that they didn't teach you proper English though!

Surely the problem is that kids are parents to kids?

Virtually every kid is playing "Call of duty" so are you saying they are all bad parents? I would bet £1000 your friends kids are all playing the game so that must mean they are all bad parents

So are you saying that a parent who lets their child play a game that has been officially rated for over 18s is a good parent? What if they let them watch **** rated for over 18s? Good parent? I don't think so!

Chris is actually right, if a game has a age restriction applied to it it's up to the parents to enforce it legally TBH...

I'm saying I bet £1000 that your mates kids are playing COD! Which means your saying your friends are ad parents. I will even give you odds of 10/1 if you want to take my bet!


Parents buy a game because that's what they know is popular and what they know the kids will want! Comparing to **** is a bit pathetic? why not say they must be supplying alcohol as well!

I bet my friends' kids could well be playing COD seeing as the only kids my friends have are over 18.

Why is the comparison to **** pathetic? Both officially rated as 18 or over. Why is allowing them to play CoD OK and yet allowing them to watch **** not OK?

Here is a weird example! "Dad I'm going to star in a **** film" or "Dad I'm going to star in the Call of Duty game"




Yeah they both sound the same to me

Are you being deliberately silly? The example would be this "Dad I'm going to play Call of Duty or Dad I'm going to watch Amateur ***** 4. You are saying the former is OK whereas the latter is not. Both are rated officially as 18 or over. What I am asking you is why is one acceptable and the other isn't?

So do you think any age is fine to play COD/GTA? You see nothing wrong with a 5 year old playing these games?

Personally I think it's pathetic of any parent to let primary school age children to play these games and they should try being better parents instead of putting their kids in front of such material.

I agree with F1_Fan and I also think Call Of Duty should 21 and over never mind the sex in it what about the glorification of crime and violence no wonder society is fooked!
