Buying a movie and watching it is a personal choice. You pay money for that DVD.

And we can't have two different versions with full disclosure written all over them because people might not read the disclosure, and then they might make the "wrong" decision? So government must protect them from their decisions. I see.

I agree that Hollywood could scrub a few of these movies and put out an "Edited version." But that takes time and money. It is probably more difficult to do to a movie than a Compact Disc. In movies you could be cutting whole scenes.

People are going to watch what they want to watch and it's a personal choice. Despite liberals belief that Big Brother is out to get us (see Drunken Kennedy), none of us have a TV screen in our house that forces us to exercise and watches us unless we are in bed. We make our own choices and the argument of "I would like to watch the movies but I can't because they have swearing in it so I would like them edited because I want to watch them" is not a feasible argument.

The movie business is not Burger King and sadly, we can not all "Have it our way."
