I may have worded what I was saying wrong - I think that people have a right to do whatever they choose, when it's in reason...I also think that the reason theater chains DON'T want to carry certain movies is BECAUSE of the corrupt ratings system. It's a cycle. A ratings system that works needs to come first, and then when it's finally discovered that there is a market for adult-themed films, there will be no need to "censor" an artist's work so it can play in theatre chains.
About parenting...I think that if a child is raised well and taught well, then a movie won't have an effect on them. Movies can touch you emotionally, but I believe that good parenting is what defines the line between right and wrong, reality and unreality. (is that a word?) And all I'm asking is, why should an artist have to suffer because of the lack of good parenting? The artist shouldn't be attacked, the parents should.
And I think ryanpaige made a good point: when parents want to protect their children, they often come up with solutions that will keep the movie from everybody, not just their kids. This isn't fair.
