Well, my intention wasn't to question who should purchase the game (ie, parents buyingfor they're kids... though I doubt most parents are smart enough NOT to buy the game. They don't care about the violence if it means that their kid will be popular if they own it).

It was just a question. Because I don't understand why we must make games so violent and why they are enjoyable. I'm not saying I've never played one. I'm just voicing a small lingering thought that's been in my mind for awhile now. I don't think we NEED games that are overly violent. We don't, really. No one NEEDS violence. I think it shows alot about our society and life today, actually. I did my college term paper about this, in fact.

Anyhow... it was simply a wonder on my part, didn't mean to take away from the actual conversation.
