Age Restrictions don't bother me because I am over 18 but I can see where you are coming from.

See... age restrictions work :)
Although.. having said that... I've just read a post in the FOG forum about a guy whos younger brother had repeatitive nightmares over seeing their player have their heart ripped out in Mortal Kombat...
Age restrictions would have stopped something like that...
I suspect its not the actual graphical violence thats being banned so much as the atmosphere of a game?

That was my bro, and it was quite funny, but it wakened me up at night!!
Anyway, age restrictions should stay, as it should really be up to your parents if they think you are old enough (mentally and maturely) to watch/play something which has been recommended for older people.
I mean, those two guys who killed James Bulger, did so after watching Childs Play 3/4, now if that doesn't convince you, nothing will!!

You know, in America it is up to parents what films they let kids see. PG-13s can be seen by anyone who is 13 or above by themselves, but for people under 13, an adult must supervise them. Same deal with "R" rated films (15ers). NC-17s however can only be seen by people over 17.
I prefer this system... what about u?

Isnt it pretty much the same system over here?
12 rated movies can be watched by children under 12 as long as they are accompanied by adults?

The American system is quite nifty actually, that should be cool, they also have the chips in the TV which get a signal sent to them and if the system is set so that kids cannot watch programmes with this rating, then the picture goes off and a password must be entered, how cool is that!!!
