i know to someone older like you this probably sounds completely naive but it's just my opinion.
everyone is entitled to their opinion .. no probs ..

but there are a lot of kids it does affect ..

As a parent - i just cant imagine it ... and i am aware of everything my kid watches .. i watch everything with him ...
If i'm not sure about something i research it ..

I have the largest collection of horror movies of anyone i know .. sooner or later he's going to get exposure to them .. but not until he's had as 'innocent' a childhood for as long as possible .. and at a time where he's demonstarated that he can seperate reality from fantasy .. and can understand why such films would be made (and considered entertainment)

I've seen a lot of fucked up people in theatres cheering when 'the girl gets killed' etc ..
these kids needed to mature before being exposed to violent imagery...

i guarentee most of you - when/if you have a kid someday .. will wonder what the fuck your parents were thinking ..
