I agree with Irescue. The stores definately have the right to say what they will and will not sell. I applaud them for it. Nobody cares when they say "We're not going to sell XYZ shampoo" because they figure that store just doesn't carry that line of shampoos. Why all up in arms when the store decides not to sell a certain vdieo game, music CD, etc? They have the right to decide what they offer their customers. Someone doesn't like it? They can go to Best Buy.

As far as parents doing their jobs.... well, its plenty easy for a kid to get adult rated things without the parent having a clue their child has it. When my son was 14 he bought a CD with offensive lyrics. Hubby and I demanded the store take it back and return our son's money. It wasn't until we threatened a law suit for selling an adult rated CD to a minor did they relent.

Personally, I think our society is getting progressively worse and selfish. They want to do what THEY want to do and be damned what anyone else has to say. I watched a news broadcast this morning on something very similar where the average American is being over-entertained and needing more and more thrills in order to stay entertained. We become bored easier. We need the excessive language, sex, violence in order to stay entertained? ummmm.... I certainly don't want to be! Why do I need to see and hear soemthing I find offensive because somebody else want to invoke their rights of free choice? What about MY rights to live a peaceful life without stress of coming across something that will offend me?
