Age ratings

Having shocked the blogosphere with my determination to expose my kids to atheism (see previous blog) I am quite concerned about a general trend amongst parents of kids around here. We have a very simple rule in the house: we keep to the age ratings of video games. 15 & 18 rated games don't get bought. (Keeping 10yr old out of the room when 12-rated are being played by 13yr old can be tricky)

What surprised me in this middle-class suburb (and with church-going families) is that no-one else seems to be so scrupulous, given what my kids report from school and other people's houses. Am I prudish, or are those age ratings there for a reason?
