I know I will be in the minority on this, but why is it we need to have
Adult ratings for books and/or movies? Because our society thinks it is
just fine to spew out foul language, authors think there is nothing wrong
with describing love scenes in the most explicit detail. Why? Two things I
heard when I was younger have never left me. One was from my history
teacher in the 8th grade. He said if a person has to swear, that means they
have a very limited vocabulary. Amen. And, as a young adult I went to hear
Paul Harvey speak and he asked why do we guard our children from such
things, bad language, violence, explicit sex, yet we think it is okay as
adults to digest all this? Why is it okay? I guess I wish for an
idealistic existence which will never happen, but I sure don't appreciate
any of that in my life, I will not read books that have this type of content
in them, nor will I watch a movie with such a rating that I know it is full
of what I know will be offensive. Yes, it's a free country, I do know that
but I just don't know why it has to be deemed acceptable that we hear and
see unnecessary stuff like this; there has to be other ways to express
ourselves. Okay, I'll hush now. Just had to express my opinion. Back
under my desk I go.
