Reasons for edits

Edits and ratings are plain stupid especially parents who actually follow them

Another thing I can't stand is when parents won't buy a video game for a kid becuase its overaged for them. I also remember the whole stink about grand theft auto 3 because it according to people will make kids violent and how the whole prostitute thing will corrupt the youths minds.

Nah, my favorites are the stores that won't sell you a mature video game even if your sixteen. You stand there arguing waving your permit in their face stating "I'm mature enough to drive, but not play Castlevania: Lament of Innocence?!" This happened last week by the way. But the truth is he was just doing his job, so I left, gameless .

Also that whole law suit about the hot coffee that was just dam stupid how did the person with coffee not know that it was gonna burn you if it spilt on you and that person had to have touched the coffee before she spilt it so she had to have known it was hot I was suprised she won that case ,must have had a retarded jury.

must have had a retarded jury.

That's the point. She stated that she "knew it was hot, but not that hot." Either way you look at it, the lady won millions because she played stupid. Stupid people bother me.

My understanding was that the coffee actually gave her third degree burns

I am against editing look at what it brought us(I am a highly assualted victim for playing YGO) Here are a list of things happened to me

-5 repeated cases of card thefts(first rare cards then my WHOLE DECK and the theif got away)
-Harassment of people in the YGO table ranging from disses to attemped robberies and disruptions
-Disses aimed at the game where often common and they act like know it all( why don't try picking on other non-YGO TCG players for once)
-Pick on and bullied at school cause I play the game

4kids and their group of terrible editors have turn what was a cool card game to pathetic barney stuff I say let censorship rot in hell I rather suffer slurrs then being hit in the wallet

The ratings are there so that parents have some idea about the content of a movie. If there weren't any rating system, then a child could be going to see a movie called (making this up) "Barney goes to Hawaii". The parent having no idea what the movies is about say ok, thinking it's about a purple dinosaur. It could be about a gangster named Barney who's going to Hawaii to kill his uncle who betrayed the mob.

Heh, I love this topic, it's really easy to tell who's an adult and who's a kid. The kids are the ones complaining about things being edited and rated (and doing a really poor job at that), and the adults are the ones telling them they're wrong and why.

Erm... it's too bad people pick on you, but none of these examples really have much of anything to do with 4Kids editing Yu-Gi-Oh, probably with the full approval of the Japanese licensor, to be suitable for broadcast on North American children's television. In fact, they're kind of non sequiturs. See, the thing is, Yu-Gi-Oh is a children's cartoon show in Japan too, perhaps with a few darker elements considered too "occult" to air on Kid's WB "intact" without a lot of people getting upset at what their children are watching, but, still, it isn't aimed at a substantially older audience in Japan. So, as such, the kids that don't like Yu-Gi-Oh as it is aired on North American television now and find the show babyish won't like it any more than they do now even if they were somehow exposed to the intact version. Some people will always be jerks, what can I say?

Those types of lawsuits happen too much. I could list a few off the top of my head and I'm sure that there a many, many more than that. The fact is people are stupid and take no sense of responsibilty. Therefore companies must put warnings eveywhere.
