That's just your typical super rich, super liberal white person who has nothing better to worry about, so start putting their nervous energy toward made up problems, like peanut allergies, toxic mold, and violent movies/video games.

They're best just ignored.

I don't think so. I think she is just concerned with the lack of parenting that is a reality in America. To say Liberal is crazy, as she is acting more conservative than anything. Because she mentions the war? You must be fucking high if you think letting little kids watch that shit or play GTA is cool, or you must not have any kids.

It's a reality all over the world, and has been since humans started reproducing. People were just as fucked up in 1950 as they are now, if not more so, so get over that delusion that people suddenly decided to be bad parents because of movies and video games. Bad parents and bad people come from their bad parents, who came from their bad parents, and so on, not society.

And yeah, read it again. As phantasmzombie said, It's definitely a liberal viewpoint about what should or shouldn't be allowed in society without any input from the parents' themselves. She said that when a kid slides her a DVD of Halloween to sign, she glares at the kid's parent and makes sure to tell them exactly how they should be raising their kid, as if she's some kind of authority. And she doesn't only "mention the war", she uses it as the background for her entire post making sure to commend the messiah Obama, and the just war our soldiers are fighting.

I have kids, and I don't think "letting them play GTA is cool", but if my 10 year old stepson wants to have a go on Vice City, I let him because he's mature and intelligent enough to know that it's not real. It's just a video game with dated polygon graphics. Kids should be given more credit by stupid people who think that just because they see a gun in a video game, they assume that guns are good in real life. Kids are smarter than that. We were smarter than that when we were 10 years old, remember? Did we think fucking Ninja Turtles were real and start bashing people over the head with a staff screaming "Foot clan is everywhere!"?

Most people I know saw Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th when they were 12 or 13. Are they fucked up serial killers today? Of course not, they knew that shit wasn't real and was just a silly movie. I think if a kid can handle a scary movie or violent game without going ape shit, or getting scared, then let them have at it. It's not real, and they understand that.

As a parent (which you obviously aren't Ash), you learn your child's individual mindset and maturity level and then parent accordingly, which is how it should be. Not some sweeping liberal societal standard that everyone must adhere to with the assumption that all kids are the same; immature and stupid. Some kids are, fair enough, but that's up to the parents to decide.
