10. It's all right for adults, I guess.

Still, it makes me queasy to hear kids getting into the violence.

I know, I know -- I played cops and robbers when I was a kid. I remember lying there on the ground, pretending to be dead, really getting a feel for it. It was kind of spooky -- and basically a good imaginative experience.

And ultimately, I think the sitting on the ass all day, staring at a screen is actually more damaging than the content. Maybe??

I guess as a mother I just feel better putting my foot down about violent movies and video games -- and if my kids want to sneak a few games at a friend's house, well, that's what kids do.

:hi:
