Of course they do. Common sense was ahead of psychological research.

Why do you think they are putting so many Homosexuals on TV these days.

They know kids are affected by it. It doesn’t take a study to know that, Porn is rampant it didn’t get that way because it doesn’t affect people.

Hollywood used to sell cigarettes and booze, now they sell drugs and sex.

I can help but wonder if it has more to do with the parents than the movies. Surly the parents of these children where the ones allowing them to watch the films to begin with. This sounds to me to be another excuse for bad parenting – blame the movies and video games.

Bingo !! No wonder obammma was a shoe in. We didn’t need the idiot mccain, we could have run President Reagan. The media molds the youth. It’s now fine for two guys to make out center stage. I can hardly wait for the pony show to start

There are no more “sexually suggestive” movies.

They pretty much put all the sex right out there front and center, for all the world to see, in eye-popping 1080i.

I have no doubt it affects adults too. And I think about what we (virtually all of us I suspect) accept as fine and dandy in entertainment today. Check it out. You cannot watch much of anything (I would say anything but someone could probably produce something so I’ll hedge there) that doesn’t have some sexual component that would have been considered not acceptable for all audiences when I was a child (which really was not THAT long ago).
The culture has changed in a short 30 years into something I barely recognize and people in their lives now accept what when I was a kid was not considered acceptable. We look a lot more now, like what the movies were showing as cool, then.

How about all those slasher movies where the kids fornicate and then get hacked into pieces by the evil character like Jason??? Is that an accidental moral lesson or just fun?

Or does it cause future disfunction of you-know-what?

When will we see a horror movie where gays fornicating in public bathrooms are caught by the slasher and hacked to pieces??

That would be entertaining, start with Barney Frank and Jonathan Capart look-a-like characters.

Equal rights man. LOL

Hollywood is more concerned with polluted rivers than polluted minds.

Liberals constantly claim violence is worse than sex in movies but I don’t see them as close. 99% of movie violence is fantastic and unreal but the sex is realistic except that nothing bad ever happens from the sex.

Parents are to blame of course. Many don’t seem to have any morals themselves. Monica Lewinskys parents turned out to be not that uncommon. That was an eye opener for me.

And parents are helpless to control what movies their children watch.

Surprise, surprise.

It’s in your face all the time...on tv & internet (now in libraries), in newspapers, in magazines, in movies, in advertisement, on billboards, all in prominent places, near schools, near/in restaurants, even near churches, near ball fields and parks...how can people not think that it doesn’t have an adverse effect on children: promiscuity, pornography, homosexuality and other unnatural acts, adultery, divorce, sexual abuse, pedophilia, and on and on...our children in this country are encouraged to experiment in such things, even in our schools, and there are precious few people in our government who say anything against it.

.......

I was laughing at the thought.
I assume Capart actor would play the receiver (you know the female role) given his high pitched winy voice, then the Jason hatchet comes down with them both screaming and guts flying, “WHATT???...HELP....NOOOO!!! STOP!!!.... EEEEAHHHHH..... crickets

LOL. it's Friday dude

When I was a kid growing up in the 50s, if I wanted to go see a movie, my mother would check the back page of the Michigan Catholic. If it was rated “A” we could go. If it were a “B” then it was questionable. If it were a “C,” forget about it! In 2012, there aren’t too many flicks these days that would qualify for an “A.”

How to save your Family: Select Movies with Your Children

Lettuce be real..this suggestion is a joke in real life practice.

After you watch a G rated family movie with your little Johnnie and Susie they go up to their room and fire up the internet to watch free harcore porn...and young girls are some of the largest viewers of porn today.
