They are dealing with it.
They way they are dealing with their issues is listing violent video games. Like I told him, listen or don't, I personally choose not to listen to them.

I think he, like myself, is soooooo sick of these people expecting everyone else to fall over backwards just because they have a complaint. I don't mind if they bark all day long. Just don't expect me to take them seriously. I'd just ask that they face the wall while they yap about their controlling stupidity.
I don't care one way or the other whether or not you take them seriously. They are as entitled as you are to have opinions. They are also as free as you are to share them with others. As for them expecting you fall over backwards, I don't think they worry about it over much. If you do, that's great. If you don't, that's fine too.

Well, a bit extreme there Jack. Tell me: would even ten years straight of playing video games ever cause possible risk of injury or death at all..the way firing an automatic weapon while speeding and driving drunk most likely would? That analogy was about as similar as playing darts to launching a nuke.
Did I not mention that it was an extreme example? As in:
While admittedly an extreme example, I am simply trying to show you that there must be some limits.
My example was meant to be extreme only to demonstrate that there are limits placed on pursuing personal viewpoints/desires for valid reasons. Sometimes it's for safety, as in my example. Sometimes it's morality, with public indecency laws coming to mind. (also in my example).
