  1. Here’s your sign!

    Seriously, what does it say about parents though. You know many parents do think like that that last person does. “Our kids have to have the most popular toys. We don’t want to crush their self-esteem by not providing for there every want and need. We wouldn’t be good parents if we did that.” It is a sad statement regarding the reality of parenting.

  2. Although it bothers me when people get overly critical about video games, I think that parents really do need to think about they way such a gun will affect (or not affect) their child.

  3. I agree with you Alan.

    That being said, if we ever have a little boy he and I are going to shoot all sorts of bad guys with our make believe weapons of war! ;)

  4. Articles like that make me want to look for a presidential candidate willing to seek an amendment to the Constitution outlawing parents. We could call it the Family Protection Amendment. It would protect families by forcing them not to exist – because you can’t have dumb parents if you can’t have parents, period.

    Incidentally, I wonder if there was a single child given a greater propensity toward violence because of Duck Hunt on the NES.
