I still can't play rated M games cause I'm not 17 or whatever. And yet I'm allowed to see just about any movie I want. My mother's mind works in strange ways.

Actually, I bet I could just get my sister to buy some M games for me.

This board must be at least 80% more mentally damaging than any violent or sexual game.

It sucks to be you guys. My mom used to be ridiculously anal with what she'd let me watch and read, but for whatever reason, she totally let games slip under her radar. It was the one thing she didn't monitor, and this was well into the early 90's when I was playing RPG's with magic and goddesses and other heretical themes. I guess it's a good thing for me she never caught on.

My parents have let us watch or play just about anything for as long as I remember, because they know we wouldn't imitate or be influenced by anything we see. The only time I can remember that my mom objected to something I was watching was a <i>really</i> long time ago, when I was first becoming interested in Anime, I had rented Moldiver from the library, and she had <i>just happened</i> to walk in the room when this girl was transforming and she was nekkid.

Well, don't stop there. How pissed was she? Were you aware of the nudity beforehand? Did you get punished? The public must know.

The only thing my parents dissapproved of me was boys in my life (which actually caused me to enjoy the fact I like being single and loveless...at the moment), but everything else they don't seem to mind. I mean, my dad let us rent South Park videos when I was like, 12-ish and my sister about 9 or 10.

Being in a loving, upstanding, Christian family meant I wasn't allowed to watch South Park. Yet, Jailbait Chris watches it nightly on Comedy Network.

The funny things is I come from a Christian family, too. My father is just not that uptight man he used to be when I was a child.

My father's parents were missionaries, which is the reason he was born in Thailand.

I'm not sure. She frightens me sometimes. She's offered to hire me prostitutes in the past. Female prostitues. Not that I would sleep with a male prostitue. But you get the picture.

I don't know how comfortable I'd feel with a prostitute hired by my mother.

One of the reasons I know I wouldn't make a good parent is because I'd care fuck all about what my children took in. I'd probably happily share my porn. Sort of like that episode of Family Guy.

Me: "Well son, it's your 13th birthday and it's time you learned about nekkid boobies. I can't afford a prostitute, so here."
My kid: "But dad... these are all cartoon girls."
Me: "They're not cartoons, you dimwitted youth, they're anime girls. I like them because they're shinier and they have green hair."
My kid: "......"



Now that I think about it, I guess if I had a kid, he would probably be more sensible than me.

Not mad, she just turned it off, no, & no. Now that I think of it, my parents don't want me watching South Park, only when they're around anyway. My mom didn't mind when I openly told her that was going to see Team America: Word Police, and she was fully aware of how 'vulgar' it was.

And I <i>just</i> remembered, she's okay with me watching anime that contains nudity in it now. It's not <i>always</i> exactly erotic.

I took Jailbait Chris to see Team America: World Police. His mom was okay with it, although she had no idea what I was getting the kid into. We thought it was the shit.

Sorry, your previous comment came completely out of left field and threw me off-guard or somesuch.

Well, I just didn't get it. Potentially because of being A) Canadian and B) Expecting Cara's post to be somewhat hard to understand I just didn't try hard enough to interpret it. C) I've forgotten 90% of all political terms and their meaning, for lack of caring.
