Your mini poll doesn't work.
However, filtering should be the parents job. What next? teaching them how to think? Already we've proven they can't read, write, have manners, etc.
might as well have the government just ship them all off to a camp and let the government train them, very few, if any of the parents seem to be able to handle the job.
Filtering Movies
by geneadams - 5/5/05 12:50 AM In reply to: Movie filtering by cballingerI totally agree. As a teacher and parent, I can't help but wonder what parents are thinking today when it comes to parenting and raising children. Some parents have forgotten the importance of education for their students and teaching respect. Bottom line-many children today do not even know how to listen, much less behave. And whether likes it or not, raising children is still their responsibity-not the government's or public schools' responsibility. Filtering is rediculous-just say no, you cannot watch that, period. You are the parent, take charge.
Yeah but ....

Several times recently we've bought DVDs to watch with the teen-age grandkids and had to shut them off. The version you see on the airlines is NOT the same as the store version.
Is there some reason that we actually need to see the actors' bodies? Do the sex scenes actually add to the story? I have no doubt that sex sells in today's society but I'd just like to be able to sit through a movie that has a funny story line and enjoy it with my 15 and 16 year old grandkids instead of being emabarrassed that I alloweed such smut into my home.
Guess I'm just a prude at heart

Well I don't watch many movies because of the words used. I have an African Gray parrot in the same room as the TV and don't want her using those words either. They add nothing to the plot of the movie so when filtered won't be missed. I think it is a great idea.
Abosolutely useless

Same as movies on tv with "bad words" overdubbed or BEEPed.
If you don't want your kids listening to such a language, you should not let them watch those movies/channels.
