So riddle me this?

Great posts and thank you for the ideas.....

Maybe the debris and life boat thing is a good idea....I remember when I first loaded it and then sailed slowly thru the debris field, the weather was turning worse and you could really get a sense of it.

I'm not sure because it was new therefore I was aware of it more, or the mod is that good.

I think both

I think the liferafts should be left in, warfare is brutal. Like it or not sinking ships involved killing people not just the destruction of the materials of war. Sanitising these things can't be a good idea.

Should be fine. I played games all my childhood and I turned out...
On second thought, bad idea!!! :rotfl:

I'd bet the kid watches the news on TV.
You see death and destruction there on a grand scale!!
And that's real stuff.

Any 11 year old is smart enuff to know what is real
and what is just a Game.
(I raised 3 of the little Demons and at 11 years old
I didn't worry about Video Games!!)

The Life Boats mod shows nothing really bad.
Heck!
Old versions of Quake were worse!

I know that the Lifeboat mod is pretty tame compared to some of the crap that's out there. All that I'm saying is that hearing men screaming for help & seeing floating corpses might be a little much for a kid who normally plays cartoonish games like Mario, etc. Maybe his mother monitors what he's allowed to watch on tv & doesn't like him watching news stories with violence & gore. It's a moot point anyway as she'll will be the one to decide what goes on his pc.

Violence is part of our society and kids are confronted with it every day as we all are. Often we don't even recognize or reflect on it, we simply accept it.

If this kid were my son, I'd let him play the game, but make him think and maybe write about the fate and feelings of the people at the other end of a weapons trigger. How would it affect his own life, if his father or brother - or even his mom - would be killed by some foreign military action. He would have to learn that there is no glory in killing other people - no matter what your government tells you, no matter how cool and male the weapon systems seem to be.

We grow the next generation of violent and bellicose or pacific and cooperative people. If we ever want to end this spiral of violence, we have to start with our own attitude and with the way we teach our children.

I would say it is a fashion risk I myself would not take. :rotfl:
