Tattoo your babies now, it'll save you from being sued

I actually believe this. A California congressman is lobbying for warning labels similar to ones found on cigarette pack be placed on T or higher rated games. The congressman said that the video game industry has a responsibility to the parents of the children playing these games. Going on to say that the games have potentially damaging content, and that the video game industry has "repeatedly failed to live up to this responsibility."

The responsibility is on the parents to parent there children. A responsibility to society to give there children an environment conducive for there growth into a product part of society.
Technology has changed since these baby boomers were raising kids. Since that has been the biggest change over generations that is the easiest thing for them to latch onto.
Gee maybe it's because they have created a society in this free world where both parents are required to work to provide for the family. Sure I understand if both parents want to work, but the option is no longer available. So with both parents away for work, some of the family values are lost of our own childhood.
We live in a era of "the quick fix". Suing people is a quick fix to a bigger problem. So my suggestion to all new parents out there (Justin and I being two of them). Have a disclaimer tattooed on your child's back, ridding us of the responsibility of raising our children. Lets put the burden on society as a whole, on Congressman, Senators and lawyers, since they all want to get involved in our decision making skills as a parent.
I'm providing the best loving and nurturing environment for my children, which includes video games. I grew up on them and I think I'm doing just fine.

End rant!
