Default Re: ESRB?

Rating systems have always been a thorn in my side. Who has the right to tell me what is offensive, adult, or what-have-you and what isn't?

At least they break it down by Category, which is infinitely better then a flat "R" or something, but it still irks me. My idea of "offensive content" isn't going to agree with anybody else's, and if they want to share their views, a little square on a box isn't going to tell me enough to be of use.

I didn't know they're a pay service. If they are making a profit on all that, they should at least have detailed reviews available to fully explain why they rate things the way they do.

A rating system is better then nothing I suppose, but I still vote for the good old "just pay attention to what your kids are doing/don't pass the buck" system.

Oh, well. Time to jump off the soapbox . . .
