Ok.We all know how age resetrictions are either useful or annoying or when compared complete nonsense.
Age restrictions are in fact a good idea in my opinion. I don't won't ten year olds driving monster trucks. But there is a point when age restrictions do infact become useless. Here's one example: Recently i have been looking into buying an air rifle for hunting/shooting purposes. Picking up a magazine on the subject as i'm not too well informed. I was highly surpised to find out that i, in less than two months time could be able to walk into any shop selling air rifles and buy one at the age of 17. Some might say that your wiser and hopefully more mature then. But speaking from experience i know that my little 12 year old cousin is more intelligent than some of the goons round here.
What was the real surprise is the fact that you can't play GTA which is all fake untill you are 18 but you can own a weapon with the pontential to kill a another person when your a year younger.
Another thing i found odd was that you can't drink untill your eighteen but you can own a gun and drive when your seventeen. Surely to god that guns and cars are more dangerous than a quite drink with your mates.
I don't agree with game restriction as why should people that enjoy game on the grounds of entertianment and escapism be held back by parents that really couldn't care what there child sees. I believe that it is up to the parent to dicate what their children watch and play.
I find that the ELSPA rating is annoying although it is a guide line for parents, shops think it is the law not a guide and i have been stopped on buying a game with little violence, no gore etc because the little children might find it hard.
Thank you for taking your time to listen to my rant. I think that parents should take more responsiblity on what their children watch, play and do.

I would do but she insists on Pommes Frites with her curry. Bloody embarrassing I can tell you.
