One day, your child WILL leave home and will not be under the parents umbrella of protection and influence. I was not sheltered because sheltering your children is useless. They would talk to me about the differences between reality and fantasy. They let me play video games, listen to "dirty" music, and they even openly discussed sex! "OH MY GOD! You must be a broken person! Your parents ruined you!" NOPE! My parents explained things to me. I have intelligent parents who did not shelter me from the world we live in. Why am I not in prison? Let me tell you why. If you would listen to Jack Thompson then I should be in prison for commiting a violent crime due to my violent video game enjoyment. I have never commited a violent crime, killed a hooker, driven while intoxicated, ect. I have been playing violent video games since I was a young child. When GTA Vice City came out when I was 16, I played that. At the time, it was the most controversial game to date. I disagree with many of the comments about this game.
