CARDED?!?

[BadMoon]

Is a church school zone any different than a county school zone? Yes, one has a required speed limit during times and the other just asks nicely. Are kids still in danger in both places? Yes. Do you need a law to slow down for the church children's safety?

I speed everywhere so that doesn't apply to me.

I don't get upset at all and don't see why men should. Most men are *******s so that is probably the reason why they get pissed. They need to learn to just deal.

agreed. in the end, they are just doing their job.

actually one thing that doesn't happen often enough is ID checking with respect to paying by credit card.

So if I look like a parent in age I am still subject to childrens rules? I guess I should remember to get my milk money before I come to work every day. I should also always walk on the right and be kind to my teachers. And don't even get me started on parenting. LOL! I know where you stand on that as well so this past comment suprises me.

It shouldn't be an issue. If you don't want to be inconvenienced then these rules should be dropped for everyone and you should be for children being able to get what they want, no matter their age.

Personally, I don't think we should be restricting anyone from anything. Give the people what they want. When I was a kid I just wanted some porn- now I am ****s obsessed. They should of just given it to me.

Now that I can understand! I don't care how old you are.

That is something I don't get either. When you use your credit card they are supposed to check your ID every time but they don't because people either get pissed or the cashiers are lazy. HEre's the thing. The same grumpy people cry so hard when their identities are stolen and then they will raise hell and ask why don't cashiers check ID's. The cashiers should answer back "because of people like you".

In the end I believe it slices down to this.

If you want minors to be protected from adult content then you can't be hypocritical about the measures stores have to take to make things happen. It takes a whole 30 seconds to show your ID.

If you don't care about minors like me then you should be the ones getting pissed. Which ironically I am not at all. I do get pissed about those stupid stop signs that school buses push out when they stop though. *barfs at having to wait behind a slow school bus*

I used to work in a movie theater and we were very, very militant about not letting unaccompanied minors into R-rated movies. Florida did have a law about it but it was very ambiguously worded and didn't refer to the ratings. At theaters where they were lax about it, we'd get calls from parents demanding to know why we let their minor child into an R-rated films, threats from patrons to "write their congressman" when they saw kids in an R film and other headaches.

I wonder if those parent knew where the kids were to begin with?

When I was younger, I never got carded at the theatres. I think I have gotten carded more after I was 18 than before.

When I went to R-movies underage, my parents usually dropped me off knowing full well what I was seeing. On the rare occasion I got carded, they would go up and buy the tickets for me.

Bannister I think that is whats wrong with us. We watched Stallone and Arnold but the whoop down on people. The only difference is we knew in real life we couldn't do that to others. That it was wrong. How did we know this? Because we had parents to explain it! That is what is wrong. Not the games or the movies. It is the damn parents. If you show your kid right and wrong they will 9 times out of 10 make the right decision. If they make the wrong choice well then beat their little a$$.

this thread is terrible.

almost as bad as the 30 minutes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation that I just watched.

I suggest you rate it accordingly then.

Indeed. I remember my parents took me and my brother to see Under Siege, Die Hard with A Vengeance, Lethal Weapon 3 and others. Funny thing is, I thought they were strict when I was really young. Also, when I was a kid my parents had bottles of hard liquor out in the open and I never touched the stuff.

Yeah my first bad movie I would say was Robocop. I am 27 so I think I was about 6. My dad sat me on his lap and just covered my eyes for a few parts. My parents also kept open liqour in the house. I just knew not to touch it. I also knew not to go around swearing or hurting people. I think parents just need to be parents. Yet no parents want to hear that anymore. This world sucks. So the people that say deal with it I guess are just the followers. I will never just deal with it. Not in life my job or anything else. If I just dealt with it so to speak I would never be where I am at now. After all my Dad tought me better.

My parents rented Robocop for us, but we both freaked out when Ed-209 shot that dude in the beginning.

I blame the parents groups.

Life is not black and white in my opinion. Just because I said deal with being carded does not mean I can be lumped into the "followers" group- that's a fallacy.

my dad let me watch Predator in mute...that was the first rated R movie i watched with my parents.
