Yes, I agree with you that some people can handle different stuff while others can't.

But if I'd start to sell 18+ / M rated games to some under age kids and then tell their friends, who I don't see as mature, that they can't buy the game, it would be unfair.
And even if I did sell it to every under age person, it's still illegal here.
Those things, and more importantly the later one, are enough for me to say that it's a no-no in my case.

I see my point to be a principle more than being a "narrow-minded".
But as I said, people can disagree with me if they want.

Exactly, that's why I said I understand the purpose of the rating system, but my problem was this:

However, if they come in with their parent who buys it for them, then it's their decision and I won't take part of their rearing methods.

That bugs me. Like I said, I'm at a maturity level where I can play games like Amnesia and other M rated games without it having much of a negative impact on me (and I'm sure a few other kids my age are too). My parents realized this after a while, so they let me play games like that. My problem is you made it seem like under any circumstance a minor playing an M rated game is a tragedy that'll only result in the child having a bad up bringing. If the parents think that their child is at a maturity level that they can handle games like that, then I see no issue in letting them buy them for their kid.
