Classifications in gaming

When does it stop?
When does the government have the right to decide whether or not someone can play a game?
Sure censorship prevents the 8 year old child from buying games they are not supposed to, but for someone who is older and passes the level of maturity, why is it that they have to suffer from the choices made by the government.
ONE: GAMES ARE NOT REAL!! Switch on the T.V and look at the news, murders, deaths and war are broadcasted during a time slot in which a child, the very which we seem to be protecting from games, can view. The stuff we see on the news is real, now im not saying that because it is on the news kids should be able to buy the latest MA rated game, what I am trying to say is that if you want to censor what your kids are expirirencing, simply turn it off or dont buy them the game, it comes down to one simple word… PARENTING.
TWO: I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BUY WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT TO BUY!! Censorship has never really effected me, the only real games that I have known within Australia to be banned was Manhunt. As of recently this has changed thanks to the nice people of the Office of Film and Literature Classification Australia, they had the kind hearts to protect me from the aweful monster of Soldier Of Fortune 2. Thanks Guys. Really, next time I think I need protection I will come right to you.
THREE: STICK TO YOUR DAMN JOB!!! It even says it in your name “Classification” you are not my legal custodian. If mummy doesn’t like the games I play, mummy doesn’t have to give me the $100 to go get it.
Here is the thing, im 18 years old, I want to buy a game I’m pretty sure wont damage me for the rest of my life, actually, I can put money on that.
Shout out to the people working for the Office of Film and Literature Classification, they admist all their faults, actually do protect children with the use classifications.
Just stay the hell out of outta the banning business and whatever you do, don’t ban World of Warcraft.
