It is, but I don't want a company deciding what I can and cannot play, watch or listen to. I think our elected representatives and bodies setup to specifically monitor ratings etc are better placed to make these decisions. I'm unaware of the legal ramifications to these companies of allowing...
So do Apple have the right to decide what music is played on an ipod ? I don't think they do. It's a dangerous road if we allow that kind of censorship by companies.
What is the point of having an 18 rating ? Or if you are talking reallity then we must ban alcohol, cigarettes, pron etc. because children will inevitably get access to them :confused:
Although I can't think of any books that are banned, or even age restricted. American Psycho is one book that I wouldn't want a child to read and yet a child could walk into a book store and buy it no questions asked.
I see your point about actively engaging in violence, but with a book you...
What is wrong with a 'jumped up title' ?

Your argument is incomplete and therefore dumb. :rolleyes:
I can think of loads of other things that aren't necessary that could be banned like alcohol etc etc.. Should we ban those ?
So, the parent's can smoke at home and inflict their passive smoke on children but can't in the car ? - seems like half an idea to me.
As a result of this, there will be less incidence of 'passive' smoking-related diseases amongst children aged under 16 ?
:eek:
I would like most fast food banned outright. However, I would rather protect people's human rights and liberty than ban everything I disagreed with.
Ok, how far would you like the ban to go ? And for what purpose ?
- If it's because their are inconsiderate smokers and it smells bad then refer to my point about banning cars, farting, tramps, curry houses etc..
