Too many people want to make everything suitable for 5 years olds only. That's just a lazy persons way of not doing his job of parenting.

I rent game sfor my child. He's 9. I go with him to the video store. He shows me what he wants to lay. If it says M I say NO. If it's T I have to look at it to see WHY it's a T. So that's a 50-50 chance he gets that game.
