What harm could it possibly do? Ratings are largely ignored anyway. I challenge anyone to go online and try to play Call Of Duty without minors in the lobby.

I'd do away with them all together. It is futile to restrict the forbidden fruit, as it only increases temptation. Ratings serve no purpose other than to make minors feel tough about themselves.

I doubt that my imagination in childhood was as perverse as they get; so, from what I've seen with my real eyes on the television screen, and what my mind's eye has seen, I'll have to go with answering this question in the affirmative. As brutally violent and sexual as they may be (I don't really think that they are, though), the human mind will conceive of things far worse - unless stagnated by the seemingly "most horrific" images seen on the TV.

I'd have to say yes just because somethimes the ratings are WAY OFF...like I've watched a couple of shows rated "TV-MA-LSV" before that had absolutely NO sex, NO violence, and NO language.

The parents should be the judge. If a parent wants their children to play certain objectionable video games, then it is O.K. and the rating can be ignored.

They need to be changed to keep up with changing attitudes. People tend to be cooler about kids watching nudity, swearing and sex on screen now. It is great that more and more parents now are happy for their children to access this material! They know it does them no harm at all. I suppose many know that they see worse on the internet! In fact the internet has done so much good, as it shows that censoring this type of stuff is stupid and pointless. Lower the ratings!
