Right on! and until 25 years of age, young kids should be protected from
harm: no going to war, no XXX, no alcohol, and of course no work: after
all, if they are not old enough to decide what to protect themselves
from and what to have fun with, they should not be asked to contribute to
society either.

Hi fellas:
We can use the the labeling for adult content the music and movie
industry has: PA Parental Advisory, E explicit language, S for sex, N for
nudity. I am a member of a music club and before you buy they have these
letters and a key for their meaning before you decide to buy it.
Guido I agree with you 100%, I read an article in Time magazine about kids
and teens and the age for a full development of brain and body is 25
years.
Very truly yours

I concur. The term 'adult' is open to interpretations. Someone may
decide to flag the novels of Lawrence Sanders as 'adult' only because
there is a lot of boozing in them. Or someone may disagree with a
particular religious view and flag another book as adult. And what about
the books of Stephen J. Gould on evolutionary biology? I suspect that
some people may want to flag those as 'adult' and limit their circulation.
So, let us just be specific on what the book contains and for the rest.
. . caveat emptor!
Not to talk about the bizarre racist thriller novels by Andrew macDonald,
like The Turner Diaries. Just warn the viewer and let them decide if they
are worth reading.
