But yes, it's all about having scapegoats for their lack of parenting, added to the ever-present "I'm a victim, blame society" mentality. And politicians are always ready to pounce on these cases - a call for more censorship apparently means additional votes...

Makes them feel wanted, I guess... even though it feels awkward when I'm the son :) But those are distant times, and as that great philosopher John Cena (or not) would say: "My time is now!". Meaning, the present is what needs our efforts, the future depends on it. It's not worth talking to the "lazy-ass" protectors. What must be done is this: start selling the games which contain "dangerous" content exclusively outside the USA. Then, I'd like to see them dealing with the gaming community backlash.
