54. I play CoD every night after work

Tue Dec 18, 2012, 06:15 PM

Dec 2012

and for several hours on the weekend. But I would never ever buy that for a minor. If I had a child, he or she would be monitored when playing videogames. If I can't do that because I have to work or cook or whatever else, then I won't buy a gaming system or games.

On the subject of banning things, I think we should ban most of the stuff some old Brit - Bill Shakes-something or 'nother - wrote. Some of the stuff is full of blood, violence and mayhem, not to mention witchcraft, incestuous thoughts, ghosts, profanity and cross-dressing... Vile stuff, I say.
