quote As for who is more lenient- it was Britain who outright BANNED all those video nasties in the first place- in the US we could go see them if we wanted. unquote Neverending (it didn't work don't know why)

But like I said, now we've been able to get all of them. Usually in the big high street stores, which previously would never have thought of such a thing, that also goes for the games aswell; there was a big hoo-hah over here about 'Manhunt' but you could and indeed still can buy it (usually in the bargain bucket).

Incidently while watching this documentary/film whatever you wish to call it, the phrase "homosexual re-habilitation camp" was mentioned. I had to look this up, as I couldn't believe what I just heard - a place where people are sent to cure them, of what?

But I do agree or at least did agree, that previously the US seemed more lenient on somethings, but I fail to see why the Church should be present, acting as some sort of moral guardian, deciding if someone should see something or not.

I am my own censor and moral guardian and feel qualified enough to decide whether I should watch something or not, I have known myself the longest afterall.

I said before in another thread, that during my younger days (teen era) I watched things that perhaps I shouldn't have, I was referring to those 'video nasties'. All, I may mention with my parents, whether this makes my parents bad or not I don't know. I do know I was brought up to respect them and others and their opinions, I may not agree with them all of the time but still prepared to give them a fair shot.

I also haven't (unless while sleep-walking) turned into a vampire, werewolf, psychotic mask wearing serial killer or cannibal, but of course there's still time. ;)

I am not a parent, but have young relatives, and when they come to visit do not allow them to watch those things which they shouldn't, or are perhaps too young to understand.

Which makes me a hypocrite if you've read the above. :rolleyes:
