Tell me everyone, what's your belief on moral guardians? For those who don't know, they're the parents who go around saying the majority of things are offensive to their kids, key examples consist of Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty and various other games that really aren't for kids to begin with.

I personally think they should just get off their asses and try and actually raise their kids and stop blaming everything on video games or anime or whatever they choose to blame their own incompetence on these days, I also think Australia should get a R18+ rating for their games because we don't have one due to South Australia's governer-general being a jackass about it.

I usually try to avoid these kinds of subjects, but I think these people are a bit stupid. It seems these days it's all about censorship and keeping our children safe from things that are rarely linked to aggressive behaviour.

I'm personally against R18+ thing and such.
Parents are wrong of course, but children must have own head and brain to think what's right for them or wrong too. :P Being a child is not an excuse at all, children are the same human creatures after all, they're not dolls to play with.

I was reading up on the controversy Family Guy gets from the PTC. The PTC are basically a bunch of moral guardians who criticise anything that isn't family friendly. You think with all the effort they spend bitching about stuff that clearly isn't for kids, they'd be better parents and try to teach others to be so as well.

Yeah that's bullshit. These people should stop blaming everyone else for their problems and raise their own kids! I recently read that there are people trying to ban pokemon because they think it represents animal cruelty, and that pokemon represent demons. What a load! If you hate the show so much, learn to raise your kids, not let the TV do it!

It's pretty clear that Family Guy, South Park, American Dad, The Cleveland Show, Futurama, King of the Hill and The Simpsons were never meant for kids. Even some of the staff of Family Guy have outright said they know that and don't let their kids watch it.

Most parents these days just don't lnow how to raise their kids and think the media and all that stuff can do it. That's a load of crap, if TV and so forth could raise you, we'd have less stupidity in kids.
