Yep. For those who haven't read it, here's the Motion Picture Production Code.

If you had that now then Hollywood could not realease a single thing. They are incapable of making a film to those standards.
Their code now is simple----the opposite of everything on the Hayes code.

I was going to say that children's films are not exactly what we used to watch. The worst we saw was Moe slapping Curly and even then the parents were up in arms about the "violence."
Children nowadays see violence ten times worse just by playing video games at home.

Let's not be prudish. This is just a game. Some parents let 3 year olds watch Sci-Fi channel.

He was sitting in the desk in front of me in Algebra, he and his friend Jason were talking about Guess clothes. My freind Rick who was sitting next to me said; "what a couple of @$$'"

I think that there is a weird disconnect for parents and kids these days. Even as a small child it seemed that I had been taught by my parents and understood that as a polite person in society I would not treat others in a way like I might see on the 3 Stooges, Abbot & Costello, or the Coyote-Roadrunner cartoons. Clearly, there was consequences for such actions and justice would be both swift and terrible.

To paraphrase Dennis Prager: For quite a while now, when kids act out and don't play well with others many parents spend a lot of time trying to "Understand" why kids act out. 'Oh darling why would you want to smack that other kid?' So we have a generation or two of the most well understood inconsiderate savage kids living in society today.

Aww, Rue... please tell me your beef with WarCrap (we agree there) doesn't extend to all computer games... diss StarCraft ("not your bag" I can understand, though) and we might have a problem.

I think it is better to deal with the situation right then and there rather than try to understand it.
It seems Teddy Roosevelt was quite precient 100 years ago when he said:
“To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society”
