I just filled it all in (and yes, in the report, I'm from the UK!..besides, they let you fill it in even if you're not in the UK), and I'm pretty sure 1337 kid replies will be ignored.

The questions generally require in depth answers, and if you answer only one part of it with stuff like that, they aren't going to care much.

All of this will fall on deaf ears (we hope. although i'm confident it will)

Absolutely absurd.......specially when considering the "ban" on manhunt2, ive never played it but i don't think its anymore violent than say Unreal Tournament3, Crysis..etc. Those who do copy these games are mentally ill and its through no fault of the game itself.

I do beleive that games influence children, but thats what the age rating is for and if parents dont respect that and use games as a scapegoat for thier own poor parenting than they deserve to be castrated. (or a nice firm talk with supernanny)

In other words. its not the games job to raise and educate children. thats down to the parents. no BS.

Don't get me started on this countries education system. we'd learn alot from the swedish...

This country should be ashamed of itself with all the feral kids running around. it makes me sick.

Although I've always said that ignorant parents are to blame if they feel their children are being exposed to graphic content in modern games. I remember watching that Manchester cathedral fiasco and thinking "why did you buy the game for your kid if its rated for over 15's then?"

And yes, I would...

I bloody would too!
