I just kinda love how some of these groups say that game violence is bad and sexual depictions in games are bad, but then they turn around and give little kids sex ed classes and teach them about condoms and how to use them.

well, in one instance, you're showing sex for entertainment. In the other instance, you're educating responsible sex.
I really don't see how what you said is hypocritical.

What choobs said. What choobs said forever.
A lot of people I know grew up with violent video games and they came out mostly alright.

Alright, guess my post didn't post.
Ok, little kids have no reason to learn how to use condoms and the like at that age. It's not something that they can really use at that time and I do think that it is irresponsible to teach them about that stuff at an early age.

Parents are usually allowed to pull their kid from sex-ed classes.
And I mean, teaching kids when they've started/about to start puberty? I think that's exactly the right time to explain to them why their wieners are getting bigger.
And I mean, as gross as it sounds, I've heard of stories of oral in the bathrooms in middle school, hook ups freshman year, pregnancies at 13, etc. Even if you're not going to do it, at least teach the deviants how to be safe.

I like how his only argument was to allow the parents to make the decision on purchasing the game so they could raise the child the way they wanted, but if they were doing their fucking job as a parent they would already be doing that.

Blood, I'm pretty sure the message of sex education is not "Now go out there and have sex, young'uns!". It is more like "You are going to start doing this stuff eventually. Let's make sure you go about it safely."

Blood, I'm pretty sure the message of sex education is not "Now go out there and have sex, young'uns!". It is more like "You are going to start doing this stuff eventually. Let's make sure you go about it safely." ^ This. I think a much better example would have been: You're worried about violence and sex in video games and yet you have no problem with a new brutal murder or three per new episode of CSI, the news is full of stories about rape, murder, and atrocities, and you air shows like Cougar Town and Desperate Housewives? On CABLE? During PRIMETIME? You, folks, have your priorities all sorts of messed up. And I mean, as gross as it sounds, I've heard of stories of oral in the bathrooms in middle school, hook ups freshman year, pregnancies at 13, etc. Even if you're not going to do it, at least teach the deviants how to be safe. This actually happened at my high school. A pair of lusty freshmen were caught mid-coitus in the stairwell. Kids these days. I tell you, this is what happens when you let your TV set raise a generation. It's just a bunch of shitty parents looking for a scapegoat.

if choobs ever has kids, they're going to need helmets.
Okay, I can't do that. I feel like a jerk making a remark like that. Choobeh, please forgive my crass and antisocial sense of humor.

Merh... The ones that really want it will find ways to get them anyway and the ones that can't find ways, don't have nearly the intelligence needed to be able to own a console or a game.
