If you watch the news, you would know that they are desperately trying to device stricter methods of age limits, so less "under-age" children can access movies with a limit above their chronological age.

So you're point is we should have equal rights for all and an eight year old child, should he or she so choose to, should be allowed wonder freely into a midnight screening of A Serbian Film?

Wonderful. You're an idiot.

As a side note I do watch the news - I don't think you do - and I see no great cause for panic with relation to these evil censors. Kids have easier access to violent and disturbing content right now than at any other point in history. A bitter politician looking to make headlines will come out of the woodwork every now and then looking for tighter restrictions but these moral outrage stories-of-the-week almost never translate into legislative action.

I see no problem at all with age ratings. I don't want kids sitting anywhere near me when I go to the movies. I assume you draw the line on your view at some point - perhaps at allowing a young child access to hardcore pornography - which totally debases and contradicts your own argument?
