2. they sell chlorine at the one near me, do little kids like chlorine?
the games are clearly marked with ratings. I am the mean mom on the block, my daughter gets to play "e" for everyone games and thats it, she doesn't even ask for for anything thats not marked "E".

6. Pools use chlorine, kids swim in pools, GTA isn't for kids

4. Who pays for the toys?
Did I ever tell you about the time I told my old man that I had some money when we went shopping?
Well, he was sort of complaining about the high prices for the groceries, so I blurted out that I had some money.
We were right at the counter, and my dad got a little embarrassed.
So, he looked down at me and said, "You do?"
I said, sure, and pulled out my wallet and got out $100 in play money.
They were little Trix dollars, cut fresh from a sheet of $20 dollar bills that were included in the box of Trix cereal the week before.
The clerk chuckled quite a bit about it, but my dad thought it was a nice gesture anyway.
He told me to save my money for later.

5. Uh, It's a TOY STORE
So they like ... sell toys. Like video games.

Is it THAT hard to figure out, people?

7. Video games aren't exclusively for kids anyome
GTA is for adults, it's not exactly a family game

8. That's Right, But Toys Are Sold in Toy Stores
Who said only tiny tots play with toys? The only people I know who can afford PS3s are adults - and no brat is getting their sticky little fingers on it.

9. What kid would even want a PS3?
Right now, the PS3 is just a Blue-ray player

11. I am old enough, but don't want to pay $600 for a Blue-ray player
Most people don't even have an HD ready TV
