Lock this topic! (By New Year's Day!)

That could go in the hearth, because its an opinion not a fact.

Two f-bombs warrants an R rating in America. A movie filled with swearing in Britain is typically a 15, at a push 12A but never higher than a 15.

Well that makes absolutely no sense to me. Everyone has seen someone naked, even if it's just themselves. And actually actors tend not to be fully naked, even if it seems like they are. (See Chris Pratt's story about his naked scene in The Office).

You severely underestimate teenagers; a lot of them are doing those kinds of things by the time they're fifteen. And no, I don't think that should be the case, but it is.

[Eulaliaaa!]

No, it should not be the case that teenagers are already doing stuff as young as they are. So that's why movies and things that promote doing that (such as a movie with nudity and inappropriate content) should not be available to teenage audiences. It makes people curious and is harmful. Now, if they see people dying in a violent movie, it's not like they're gonna leave the theater and go murder everyone.

And I don't think it matters if the actor is completely naked, it's still suggested that they are and is just as horrible.

[Jetthebinturong]

I just said that.

However, movies that promote such things don't actually encourage teenagers to do it. They'll do it if they want, if they don't then they won't. I've never even been in a relationship, and even though I want to, I wouldn't be the kind of person to be so intimate after barely knowing someone. But that's just me, I'm not anyone else, and neither are you. It is a matter of genetics and environmental factors.

However, a movie with intense violence could potentially traumatise people. Swearing and "stuff" cannot.

Can you guys please move this to The Hearth?

[Jetthebinturong]

Ugh. This forum is too sensitive.

It's a calm discussion, not an argument.

[Eulaliaaa!]

I don't mind moving to The Hearth. If you guys want to continue, should we make a new thread or use one that's already there?

[Jetthebinturong]

A new one.

[Rosie Willowwater]

Still, I think it would be a good idea. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm trying to force anything.

EDIT: Gah! I'm too slow

Ugh. This forum is too sensitive.

It's a calm discussion, not an argument.

Be that as it may, it's exactly the type of thing the Hearth was created for.

Scaramouche, Scaramouche!

Will you do the fandango?

That could go in the hearth, because its an opinion not a fact.

This is kind of on topic and off topic but as well, but take a look at this article, which primarily looks at teenagers using steroids and HGH but also other drugs as well at the end:

http://nypost.com/2014/07/23/growth-hormone-use-exploding-among-high-school-teens/

This suggests that steroid, marijuana (close to half), and prescription drug abuse (around 1/4) is higher than some people might think...
