I'm not certain how I feel. I definitely don't feel it appropriate entertainment for most youth (read: early teens) - Merry Christmoose Dec 21, 13:00 7
- I don't think CoD is great for, say, a 10 year old, but then neither is Kill Bill, or Game of Thrones, etc. etc. -- nm - Reagen Dec 21, 13:09 6
  - Right. I don't think either is good for kids, nor do I think either should be banned from existence. - Merry Christmoose Dec 21, 13:24
  - But a kid isn't going to watch Kill Bill daily... - Melkor Profit Dec 21, 13:15 4
    - maybe not one film, btu they could easily watch untold # of similar movies or shows daily. - Reagen Dec 21, 13:19 1
      - It does, but in today's modern world, I think we need to give parents more help than just saying "it's your kid". - Merry Christmoose Dec 21, 13:27
    - Heh. Me and my sister used to watch Die Hard daily when I was in Jr High/High School - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 21, 13:16 1
      - I'm comfortable making a distinction between Die Hard and militarily realistic FPS Games -- nm - Melkor Profit Dec 21, 13:22
