Hey verm I like your idea of putting the parents on trial along with the kid for negligence. But I think if a kid was willing to kill a police officer, knowing that doing so would get his parents in trouble wouldn't be a serious deterrent. All this "negligent parenting" stuff reminds me of the Sopranos for some reason
It's a way of telling the parents "better make fucking sure your kid doesn't do crap". Other parents manage to bring up well-adjusted children that don't commit crimes, if you can't maybe you need to review your methods.
So are you going to initiate a task force that will go to every single parent's door and ask them those questions, and then follow up later and see their progress? That's not much of a real world solution, although I agree that many parents should take a lot more responsibility than they do. Also, children can't…

[ QUOTE ] Find the person in charge of designing the game, and ask him his purpose for doing so. If he can't provide one, run him down with a car. Interesting stance to take isn't it? [/ QUOTE ] Hypocrite much? How about instead of shifting the blame you ask parents why they aren't paying attention to what their kids are…
I don't think that's something you should do. Who defines what is good and evil? Some would like the player to lose the game when he gets serviced by a prostitute, would you punish that as well? What if the game designer is some religious nutcase who thinks those "innocents" are a bunch of sinners and deserve to die, how…
right, no reward, and no consquences. so how does that influence gameplay? What if there was a real consequence? Let's say you were playing through a system like Steam. Once you kill so many innocent people, you are then banned from playing the game. Or for GTA, run over so many innocent people, and you are prevented from…
