Mark, you are taking my "rant" a little out of context. Assuming you are an adult, I couldn't care less about what you watch-- my concern is protecting children from unsuitable material. It is our *duty* as adults in a civilized society to dictate to our children what they can and cannot view, because they are too immature to know what is or isn't appropriate. Yes, we have Bill of Rights which protects free speech, but that doesn't give one free license. Try yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theater sometime and see how "free" free speech isn't. I'll start posting FUs to .debate from now on. -John
