I love how other people think they are the arbiters of how others treat

10, and at least two X rated moves before I was 14 (Midnight Cowboy and
Last Tango in Paris). So what?

Show me a 7yo who's not familiar with teh word 'fuck' and I'll show you

When I was 9yo I saw Slapshot, Saturday Night Fever, and Eraserhead. SNF
was the first time I heard (or was aware of hearing, at least) the word

7 Reasons Why You Should NOT Bring Your Kids To See 'Deadpool'

There's only one reason - it's complete crap, so nobody should waste
money going to see it. As usual the brainless masses will go and see
it, so there will be an equally idiotic sequel. :-(

I really will never understand the hysterical fear people have over mere
words. They're just sounds coming out of a person's mouth and have no
ability to psychologically scar someone, no matter their age.

The movie is rated R and FOX barely managed to keep it at the
R-rating — it was almost rated a lot worse.

Why is there some kind of an implicit assumption that each rating beyond
G is "worse" than the previous one?

The film rating system isn't a scale of "good to bad". It's an advisory
to alert viewers as to the type of content in the film.

Yes, we get it. Anyone who patronizes a film that you personally don't
like is "brainless".

Because we all know your personal aesthetics are the objective benchmark
by which all things are judged.

In 1987 after seeing "RoboCop" with my wife I went back the following
Saturday afternoon and took the kids, who were 13, 11 and 10 at the
time. About as gory and not quite as vulgar as "Deadpool", I didn't see anything in it that would scar them for life and knew they would think
it was a pretty awesome movie. Didn't feed them a steady diet of that
sort of thing but kind of doled it out like ice cream on special
occasions. Two of them are now military veterans, one of whom is a
police officer, and they are all stable, contributing members of
society, so a little bit of exposure to that sort of thing didn't warp
them.

Are you claiming that calling someone a "nigger" is harmless?

Grab my smelling salts!

I learned the words when I was about 8, from the other kids at camp.
(And some from my father, when the lawnmower broke down.) Better that
kids hear them in the company of their parents, who can tell them not to
use those words in front of teachers, preachers and other adults.
