I think that the TV 14 warning on family guy is enough to let parents know. We dont need some PTC freaks b****ing about it.

I completely agree. I can decide what's good enough for my kid on my own, thank you.
However, there are bad parents out there that need to watch their kids more (or less, in some cases). But that still doesn't give anyone -- well, mostly the government -- the right to tell me how to raise my kids. The only time I will ever get involved is when the kid is hurting, emotionally, mentally, or physically.

I'd bet these are the same adults that created 4Kids and made One Piece the horror it is now. My cousin, who is 8, wasn't allowed to go see March of the Penguins because her parents thought it might be "scary".

My cousin is 9 and her parents wouldnt let her see it. Oh dear, penguins die, they are so stupid! I hate her parents they are always being over protective and sheltering. She wont be allowed to see pg-13 untill she is 13. pg 13 meens parental guidance strongly recomended for those under 13. It doesnt mean 12 yr olds cant see this.
And then they complained about how violent the incredibles was. It isnt violence its acton! Violence is different. The incredibles wasnt violent and 9 yr olds can see it. I hate my cousins parents.

My parents let me see The Patriot in school!! It's a rated R movie, for blood and gore. IT WAS AWESOME!!! But, our school is lenient. But some of these parents are WAY too protective. The Incredibles wasn't violent. If it had showed blood, yeah, but it didn't. Next thing you know, they'll be saying Avatar is inappropriate because 'the people are getting flamed' or 'the guy with the inappropriate scar had a bunch of cuts' or 'the guy with the sideburns was drowned.' I'll be really ticked off then.

I read an editorial in my newspaper that someone was complaining that March of the Penguins was an awful movie because the penguins died and they didn't practice monogamy. I laughed so hard at that. Penguins don't practice monogamy because well, they're penguins. I've seen kittens with different fathers in the same litter. It's life. Stop comparing animals to humans.
The Patriot? In school? Wow, my school won't let us watch R rated stuff because of, well, safety reasons. Like being sued. We can't even watch a mild part of an R rated movie (we wanted to watch Troy in English because we were studying The Iliad but we couldn't cuz it's R).
Someone I know wanted to shield their kids from 9/11. How in the world do you shield them from something like that? Parents need to be lenient but not too lenient and not too strict. Kids sheltered from something will sometimes become addicted to it later in life. Especially TV, video games, and drugs.

It's not possible to shield someone from 9/11. I mean, they have an anniversary every year!! Penguins practicing monogamy, what a buncha crap.

Most species of penguins actually do practice monogamy, which is probably why that complaint was made. They only switch partners if one of them dies. I'm not sure if that applies to emperor penguins or not though.

Wow, shielding kids from 9/11 While your at it tell them that there is no such thing as death.

So they do practice monogamy like swans (I'm not much of a penguin person and I didn't see March of the Penguins). I think the people were complaining because some of the penguins have maybe three partners (omg! Prostitution alert! Die penguins!) at a time. No seriously, it's for the survival of the animals. The sites I visited though never specified emperors though (probably because they're hard to study).

monogamy is just one spouse. some people seem to be misusing the term. Not too mention penguins dont marry.
I still dont get it, why dont the darn penguins live on the same side of the antarctic, thus making the evil annual trip of death unesecary.
And the penguins didnt have multiple partners at a time. They never ( rarely) have the same partner 2 yrs in a row.

i found information going both ways on emperor penguins, so it's hard to tell.
mo·nog·a·my ( P ) Pronunciation Key (m-ng-m) n. The practice or condition of having a single sexual partner during a period of time.
The practice or condition of being married to only one person at a time. The practice of marrying only once in a lifetime. Zoology. The condition of having only one mate during a breeding season or during the breeding life of a pair.

"Like so many elements of our popular culture, Halloween is more of a gore-fest with each passing year. Just checking out the costumes is enough to make you feel like you're walking through a 3D R-rated movie!"
bulls***
"...although the themes are becoming progressively darker with each passing movie..." that's talking about Harry Potter.
Then they said something about how Law and Order: SVU is a bad show because of "touchy" sunjects such as rape, incest, abortion, etc. well that's one reason why SVU is and ADULT show! cause Law and Order anything rock, if your old enough that is. my mom lets me watch it, and I think it will get violent, I close my eyes. they also said the apprentice sucked too.
