It doesn’t cause me grief - the movies are incredibly violent and contribute to the moral degeneracy of this country. Hollywood has much to answer for.

I gave up television a few years ago. I watch DVDs of some tv shows I like now and then. Call me whatever, but I have nearly always avoided R-rated movies. You won't find any in my DVD collection.

When I visit other people, and they have television on, I am often shocked to the point of revulsion at the level of violence and language in current television shows (never mind movies). Being away from TV for years and then seeing it again is reveals just how desensitized one can become to it.

There is a lot of sickness in our popular culture, and it can't be good for kids.
