You assume children play this type of game? I'd say you were very much mistaken, this type of game is aimed at a (very) late teen - early twenties (and upwards) age group and that for sure is not kids. Also, to make so bold a leap and in the face of most current scientific opinion on these matters is itself somewhat naive. By that I mean blaming *violent* games for unbalanced children. When my parents were growing up (circa. 1940's) children played at war, they even got to see its effect at first hand (mangled humans in reality) are you suggesting that all our parents grew up warped because of their wartime experiences in childhood? Whilst I appreciate your sentiments are well meaning - if somewhat misplaced that does not give you the right to keep FreeBSD as a platform within the confines of your own intend usage. I bet you would be against ID software associating with FreeBSD on the grounds that its games too are to say the least _SOMEWHAT_VIOLENT_ ? Its the moral minority that screws up children's heads IMHO not computer software. If the parents aren't interested / able to raise their own children to be productive and well minded young adults, then that is their (and subsequently society's) problem. A bad workman will always blame his tools. Discussion at an end.
