Why is it a crock?

Why is it a crock? Oh my.

Let me through you a curve ball. What if I say that I want every motion picture that depicts a black person to be rated R?

The reasoning? Simple. What percentage of the American populace is black? At best 13%?

What percentage of people smoke? Is it more or less than 13%?

(It's more, by the way)

Chew on that for a while.

Life is a terminal disease, depending upon how you look at it. I can guarantee you that everyone you see that is living will definitely die. They will suffer a lot more during their life if they hear any democratic propaganda. Liberals are Pro-Slavery and Anti-Freedom.

You know what I would do if I were in charge? I'd make any liberal ideology rated X and let people decide for themselves if they wanted to smoke. Liberals are deadlier than second hand smoke.

So, we should rate all movies depicting actors eating should be rated R.

Let's just make all movies rated R. Except some of the cartoons.

My question to you would be why? And if you answered because of their % of the whole population, I'd tell you that you were crazy, because most of the people in the movies are beautiful people, and I am pretty sure they represent an even smaller % of the whole population.

As for smoking, when I grew up, smoking was for adults. A lot of adults will smoke in front of kids, but I didn't like to. I didn't like encouraging kids, through my example, to do something that I think is bad to do. I was smoking for many years just because I couldn't stop.

So to me, smoking is a beat scene, man. And if someone wants to say depictions are rated R, ok. Just let folks know if that's the reason it's r. THey have ratings on direct tv that tell you the specific causes for the rating, so you know if it's nudity, or violence, or language, or all of the above. So add smoking. What's the big deal? How about pot smoking? Should that not get an R?

75% of the people who die are non smokers! We better pass a law requiring that people smoke!
