Most of the theaters in this country require an ID with at least 18 years of age for the purchase and viewing of an R-rated film, unless you're accompanied by an adult. It's about the same with video games now. Obviously, these business are under pressure by their trade organizations, but I think the government is mainly to blame (cough, Joe Lieberman, cough). Our communist government essentially has control over these industries. Isn't there something AWFULLY WRONG with that? Whether or not a child wants to see SAW III should be up to the child and his parents/guardians, not politicians. Besides, entertainment doesn't cause violence, people do. What do you think?

Our free America went the way of the buffalo. The politicians have stripped one freedom after another until there is a law against about any thing you do or say.

I kind of see what your trying to say, but not really. It is up to the child and the parents whether or not someone underage can see a rated R movie. But if your parent is not there when you buy the ticket, then how can the box office know that your parent has approved?

Saw 1,2,3 is a very educational film that shows if you dont "do" and instead sit on your fat ***, that life is wasted on you.
I dont think kids can understand this though. But if we are all equal then children should be allowed to see it.

It's not the government that did it dearie - it's the public that FORCED the industry to institute guidelines and enforce them.
The Public. You are the government.
Lobbyists. pfft.

it is in the hands of the child and the parents/guardians, just not the child alone.
