I actually think your a good parent, my dad did the same thing. AMERICA NEEDS MORE DADS LIKE YOU!

lolz.

I just find it weird that you have no problem with bodies being cut in two. Heads exploding and bodies being blown to chunks but someone swearing is something that you see as a bigger issue.

I just don't fully understand.

Yeah, I also love this new "let them learn all the swear words in the world and hope they won't use them" style of parenting. I mean, they were probably going to learn them some time before the 7th or 8th grade anyway, so why not 1st grade?

I'd have been behind you if it was just Halo, but GTAIV? Really? Come on now. This is the kind of crap that gives the slightest little bit of legitimacy to crackpots like J.T

Anyway, got to get back to playing Custers Revenge with my children.



(no, I don't have children /end sarcasm/)

You're a good dad, and this isn't just for parents. As a pussy I'd like to say I prefer my Gears without over-the-top blood and swearing... I don't know why...

Yeah, I'm letting learn the swear words... Believe me, if I could have turned it off on GTA I would have. My parents cursed a lot, but I don't have a potty mouth. Watching a game or TV or anything with swear words and NOT saying anything is worse than having them sit there with me and explaining the words are "bad" and shouldn't be used. I don't curse around them, so they understand the difference, and they know what a game is and what "real life" is.

You're not going to be able to keep your kids inside some "skittles and rainbows" bubble. They're going to hear them. If they understand them, they'll know they are inappropriate for normal conversation. My sons haven't dropped the S bomb or F bomb, at least around me. And I'm pretty sure they haven't done it around my wife or their friends. Worse I heard of my oldest son was when he was 2 or 3, and he said "bi-otch." I don't think he remembers that.

And to be honest, my sons have not watched me play GoW, so they haven't seen bodies cut in twain. Halo doesn't even split guys from a plasma sword cut, and GTA just drops 'em.

Yes, you're kids are going to catch THE GAY... FILTERS WON'T HELP YOU!

Wait, wasn't this an option in the first Gears too?

This is a joke... surely? You gotta be kidding!?! The fact that you sit around playin video games whilst your kids sit by your side "pointing out the bad words" is alarming. Sounds like a barrel of fun in your house - "lets go see daddy sit on his fat ass all day long playing xbox".

Sounds like a lot of the people commenting don't have kids. Nothing wrong with what Deezul is doing, and to claim that you somehow know better is ridiculous.

not just america, but the world needs more like you!

"Halo doesn't even split guys from a plasma sword cut, and GTA just drops 'em."

What you mean like in REAL LIFE!!!!

This to me seems very naive at the impresionable nature of the young mind. When it comes to parenting it is each to their own to a degree. I have to say though that these games are full of things which as an adult we may overlook, but can make a very strong impression on the growing brain.

Im not criticising you personally because I don't know you, but I think that this post modern approach to parenting is incorrect.

My kids also know IT'S A VIDEO GAME. It's not "post modern." I'm a parent first, not a breeder, who thinks "time out" will somehow make the kid understand. I heard this from a parent of a three Year old "I can't control him." A THREE YEAR OLD! And this is one parent who won't know their child is 8 playing GTA VI, and talking about "popping caps" and "screwing bitches." Being a parent doesn't mean keeping your kids in a bubble, sheltered from the world. It means making them understand right and wrong, the real world and the fake world. They will understand life isn't fair a lot sooner than most, and they'll be able to adjust and not pout and cry to mommy and daddy about it.

joey? is that Jack's new internet alias?

youre either not a parent or a bad parent whos child is in his/her room playing GTA4 right now, but its not youre fault because you cant be arsed to check.

NOPE, It's just Joey

Halo 3 had that feature

No, YOU'RE been warned!!!


LMAO!!!
