I don't really see it as that. I see it as life.(In the case of SPR) It's like not letting a kid see a movie for swearing. The next day he will take a walk outside in the real world, and every other person will be swearing. Its life. I just don't see the point in protecting a kid from life....

Yes, but just because you don't see it happening, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. A kid needs to be aware that things like this do happen, every single day. La la land is all fine and grand, but what if something horrible happens? What if, god forbid, ww3 breaks out? What good does la la land do to the kid then?

Little Johnny could either grow up to be a hardened war veteran or a horrible axe murderer. That might sound ignorant, but that's exactly what it is. People are fucking retarded. They see this shit and go "Hot damn, I wanna gut people alive, that'd be awesome." This ties in with the Gun Law discussion we had a while back. Because some people decide to be ignorant and do exactly what they see in movies or games, everyone else is cracked down upon as well.

Kids should be monitered, yes, but adults need to come to terms with whether or not little Johnny is an imbocile who would rape, pillage, and eat throbbing human flesh just because he saw the flick "Viking Gods of Valhalla".

A family in Appleton, Wisc., was shocked to discover a spider at their home had apparently weaved the word "lunch" on its web before moths became entangled in it. Homeowner Keith Mannebach said when his wife told him that a spider wrote a word in its web, he didn't believe her. "My two boys discovered it and told my wife," Mannebach said. "I was watching football and basically I thought she was crazy. I came out and couldn't believe it." Mannebach said the letters L-U-N-C-H can be seen in the web. The family believes the spider spun the web just like the spider from "Charlotte's Web" a tale about a spider and her efforts to save her friend, Wilbur the pig. In the book, Charlotte the spider didn't spin "Lunch" in her web. She spun "Some Pig, Radiant and Terrific." Mannebach said the word was written before moths got caught in the web. "That actually was written before the moths were there. My wife thought it was pretty funny. Before she went to bed she thought we would find another note saying how good they were."

Its not all just about SPR. Its about the whole picture of their son watching a R/15 rated film. It is an R/15 for a damn reason. Because of the gore and killing real humans. having a kid watch these types of movies, wont neccessarily make them watch the point of the movie. Infact most minors will become upset, offended, disturbed by what they see. Most kids are not old enough to see the whole picture about what point a movie is trying to portray, they'll just see the killings/blood/guts etc. Its upto the CHILDS PARENTS to decide when they want their kid to watch that sort of gore.

Its also up to the parents to make someone who will be in care of their child to know these things.

My issue in it all is dont call up screaming about things, if you havent explained or told someone about it.

I'm pretty sure my parents would have put on Blues Clues or something else if they knew the kid was not allowed to watch r rated movies.

Its not like my dad strapped this kid to a chair and said YOU'RE WATCHING THIS.

Like I said before, it could have been really awkward for the other dad to tell your dad not to let him watch R movies. Parents should just make sure, the kids can't be trusted to tell the adults when they are being allowed something they aren't usually allowed to do, of course they aren't gonna say anything. It's better to be safe then sorry.

The fact that he decided to call out of the blue screaming at my pops and attempting to rip him a new asshole, leads me to believe that akwardness was not a factor
