Actually... what gets me REALLY angry is that they have to cut the heck out of every movie to fit some arbitrary ratings system. They have to make R rated movies PG-13 so kids can watch them. Not to mention the fact PG is the most arbitrary of the time, and they're usually G movies with a crappy fake PG slapped on them because that's the "edgy" sweet spot. Only Pixar gets away with G rated movies, and that's because of their prestige. The only movies I've seen worthy of a PG rating were Rango and Pirates: Band of Misfits for mild cussing and cases of actual violence.We more need to be concerned about kids being exposed to R rated movies and stuff like that, which they basically are.
I'm not quite sure what movies you are watching that they're cutting stuff out so kids can watch them. Horrible, inappropriate R-rated movies are out constantly, to the point where there's more of them then G and PG stuff. The movie makers do not care at all whatsoever if kids can watch them. They know a million kids will see them anyway between sneaking into theaters and watching them online or on TV. I think it is seen as an accomplishment to these film makers when their movies are rated R. They feel that the R rating entices more kids to watch the movie.Actually... what gets me REALLY angry is that they have to cut the heck out of every movie to fit some arbitrary ratings system.

Kids that watch R rated movies know what's going on. The kind of kid that basically makes sexual jokes at an inappropriate age and swears like a sailor that stepped on a nail. It's not really corrupting people who aren't corrupted already. Remember, for the longest time, young boys find girls absolutely disgusting. I don't think they'd want to watch those movies for the sexual content, but rather the content of violence. And it's getting to the point where regular TV programs are starting to get a LOT more violent than the movies. Even Law and Order type shows. Everyone's always being violated by something.I'm not quite sure what movies you are watching that they're cutting stuff out so kids can watch them.

Which is pretty much every kid anymore...Kids that watch R rated movies know what's going on.

The MPAA does in fact keep corruption out a good bit. Think what would happen if we had no ratings. A parent sits down to watch a movie with their kids having no idea if it will be a fun family movie or a swearing inappropriate movie. In fact, while you are saying they give movies PG when they should be G, I'm over here saying that some PG should really be PG-13.What I'm saying is the ratings system is fixed. The MPAA is pure evil and destroys movies.
Part of the problem is, and I'm dead serious about this, a lot of people out there actually feel that it's completely acceptable for kids to swear after kindergarten. I am not lying, sometimes those kids are ENCOURAGED to swear; when I was in middle school, yes, if teachers or faculty heard us swearing, we got in trouble for it (in grade 6, I got in the worst trouble ever for accidentally dropping the frog-bomb loud enough for people to hear me), but those kids willingly sweared as much as they liked when teachers weren't listening. First four weeks I was in public high school, one time in class, the teacher dismissed a student for disruptive behavior, and she actually had the gaul to stand up in front of his desk and exclaim, "You want me to take my s--- with me?!"As horrid has it may sound, there is a such thing as swearing 5-year olds. And I don't mean the accidental one-time swear.
