And good for you. Being true to your personal standards is a truly wonderful thing, and I don't think anyone in the world would fault you for it. The problem arises when one group of people wants to dictate what another group may read and/or watch.

Even though I choose to not view these movies, I don't tell you what you should do. You have to stand in front of your maker someday and give an explanation. As it says, we will all give account. I have just choosen to side with what I know is good. And this ain't it.

iWould you favor the showing of those Nazi pre-war movies comparing Jews to rats scurrying across the floor;

Favor movies showing the blacks in a Sambo-esque way?

The problem with your statement is that you view criticism of a movie's message as one group" dictating" to others, abridging the freedom to view a film.

Please give us instances where one such group attempted to stop the showing of a film.
