The more parents stop their children from having access to something the more the children will want it, the allure of the forbidden. If the parents didn't care as much the children wouldn't bother if they heard a few "bad" words on tv or saw some fake violence.

One specific thing here that annoys me is the new 12A rating given to films, similar I assume to the PG13 rating in the US. What good is it if a parent is with the child or not when watching the film? Are they meant to cover the childs eyes/ears to stop them seeing/hearing parts? I know it implies the parents views first, but the requirement is the parent accompanies the child.

I understand the regular PG rating, young children may need someone to comfort them if they get scared and such, but the PG13/12A ratings were simply created to get more young children into films previously deemed too "bad" for them to see, simply a money making scheme.


We live in what should be a civilised society, a place where no words should be deemed as bad simply for one possible meaning, or where someone could raise a child to know the difference between right and wrong instead of letting the entertainment industry raise that child and then complain when they don't like something about it.

Some people genuinely are fools.
