		<description>Good, and add to the list...

Discrimination or the depiction of  a race, a nation, a religion, a social class, in a wrong light.

Remeber the days when Indians were all scalpers, or blacks were all servants, or Japneese and communists were all criminals and Italians were all in the Mafia? Admittedly there has been significant improvements but just because of that, it doesn&#039;t mean that that cannot come back.

I wonder, will we see soon movies where downloaders or files sharers are depicted as criminal? Watch out.

		<description>I have yet not figured out human stupidity as demostrated by

- Organizations that say they should get a chance at self regulation, usually after some scandal.  History has shown that self regulation never works long enough. It may work for a period of time, until the scandal is forgotten by the public. But politicians are such suckers (or so sold to lobbies) that they take up the offer.

- Politicians who have never done anything useful for the people seek re-election promising to do something next time around. Wich is the samr thing done in a previous election. History shows people have a that useless politicians never redeem themselves.

History also shows that people have a short memory span. The Internet will fix that, if it is not destroyed first by the governments.

You are right, that kind behavior IS NOT censorship.  It is monopolistic extortion.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not actually censorship. MPAA members (which has most theaters in its membership) agree to not carry films that aren&#039;t MPAA rated. If you don&#039;t want to subject your movie to their rating system, then they refuse to carry your movie. It&#039;s up to the studio to decide if it&#039;s worth it to them to get the MPAA rating. The MPAA doesn&#039;t prevent anyone from releasing their movie to the public.</description>

		<description>There should be a website where movies are rated by independent people.  Rather than rating by age appropriateness, they should be rated more objectively using a system such as the one below.  The amount of each should either a number of instances or a percentage of movie play time that the instance is occuring.

Drug Use:

   Injecting
   Smoking
   Snorting

Nudity:

   Exposure of breasts
   Exposure of buttocks
   Exposure of genitals

Profanity:

   Insulting a deity
   Racial slur
   Cursing a situation
   Cursing another person

Sex (Specify Hetero or Homo)

   Intercourse
   Kissing
   Masturbation
   Oral
   Petting

Violence

   Amputation
   Death
   Fist play
   Gore
   Gun play 

A rating system such as this would be much or objective than say an arbitrary age rating system.  Instances of above would be listed along with the number of instances and the percentage of movie time the instance is being played out.  Doing something like this would be like listing the ingredients in a food product.  Parents may be surprised with the amount of crap that occurs in so called children&#039;s movies.</description>

		<description>American society is completely out of whack. A &quot;corporate board&quot; is allowed (no questions asked) to decide what&#039;s morally acceptable for public viewing, yet government social initiatives are on constant assault and vilified as intrusion into the public&#039;s livelyhood. Go figure :-/</description>
