You are giving arguments for the opposing side again.

That reminds me of something. Parents are willing to take to their kids to movies that contains extreme brutal violent movie, yet they won't take em to a movie that has nudity?

I remember when my dad took me and my sis to see Scarface when i was in grade school.

Stupid ratings, it's still up to their parents to raise their kids not to some government agency's.

Did that get you to start smoking Jedi?I doubt it.Not everyone smokes becaues they see it on movies.I know I don't.I just smoke because of different reasons but not because everyone was doing it.jm

R rating's serve no purpose as kids can still watch them so its the same as a PG-13.The British way is better.

U-suitable for all ages
PG(don't agree with this one's purpose)Suitable for all age's but parents are reccomended to not allow small children to view the film
12A-If you are over 12 you can view the film regardless, under 12 requires adult
15-Over 15s only
18-Over 18s only

It's just the same old story of trying to shift the blame, onto something other than the child itself or the parents. It's happens with music, it's happens with films, it happens with schools and in some cases even books. Just another sign of society's deluded downward spiral.

More like parents not caring at the time what kids these days watch anyway.They are more in there own life and jobs to care too much for there kids.
No wonder most kids are so mess up these days.jm
