I can see the argument for a rating system, as, if I had a child, then I wouldn't want to have my child seeing things that I would not let them see in any other medium.With computer systems getting better graphically, the imagery is on a par with anything that can be seen in an adult themed film.Where I draw the line is the attack on gamers who like playing games like Manhunt, Grand Theft Auto and the like.When Jack the Ripper was going around mutilating women, way back in 1888, did he have a game of Manhunt before doing so? My point is, if someone is mentally unbalanced and does not have the capacity to disassociate computer games from the reality of life, then they are going to commit these crimes against humanity, regardless.I've been playing all sorts of computer games for years and they have done me no harm. The last thing on my mind after a game of Manhunt, is to get a weapon, run down the Bull Ring Shopping Centre, chop up a few complete and random strangers!!!Lets give the kids a bible, where people are fed to lions, nailed to crosses, have their heads cut off, babies are thrown in rivers to drown...that's not violent at all!!
