I know that you know that I know that we both know quite a significant amount of people who are troglodytes, and I know also that you know that we know that they are troglodytes not particularily due to the age that they are.. Merely that's the type of people they are. Sorry, I don't buy that... Age is meaningless, I can think of several more relevant things to base an arbitrary assessment of whether or not a group of people is prepared to see certain content. Regardless in my view it's pointless to even attempt to restrict it from the view of those who aren't fit to see it, it's not likely to prevent anything that they would have done from occuring anyhow.

I agree that it's about as useful a reaction as banning many low-end guns after Martin Bryants rampage with a semi-automatic, already-restricted rifle. However, laws, even when easily broken, still have the effect of providing an avenue of prosecution, and act as a filter to those who are less determined to do whatever is being restricted. The American ratings enforcement aren't useless now, (unlike Australia's) they will actually succeed in keeping a fair number of people out of the cinema who aren't "meant" to be there.

The fact that we don't agree that those people should be kept out is irrelevant, the people in control of that do, and they have the say.
