Should parents be allowed to bring children into R-rated movies? What are the potential consequences of doing so?

Now if we are talking about risque sexual movies, then perhaps not even adults should see those. But the parents are supposed to set the standards for the family. What about all the questionable stuff on TV? We know that a lot of parents do not just watch questionable stuff after the children go to bed. It seems to me, that either those movies should not be played in theaters, or else an under-age “child” is allowed a pass in, if accompanied by a responsible adult. Proving parenthood or legal guardianship, is likely not necessary, unless we are talking about vetting immigrants. And I would not at all give such a child a pass, unless with the express permission of the parents. I have a phone, so why not call them up and make sure that it will be okay? Although I have never yet taken a nephew to the theater.

To sum up, I largely defer to the parents, as they know their children best, and probably, hopefully, love them and want to protect them.

I rarely watch TV anymore, because the TV just can not seem to tell the truth. Most everything is or should be “parental guidance” these wicked days. Some people say that a child should not watch TV at all, until age 3. Messes up their eyes. Maybe humans were not really so much designed to look at artificial images screens. Let their brains develop more naturally looking at things that are real. I would probably talk to my children about the sort of stuff that they look at on their phones, and why you don’t give out personal information to strangers on the internet. I once thought to put the family computer in a public area in the home, so as to be able to see what your children are looking at. But now everybody has a phone. Often of an age before they can hardly even read. How are we going to ban the phones? For poor behavior, or because we all want to be Amish? These days, there is a TV in every room, and probably a computer or computer tablet as well.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

Most everything on TV is fake, even the fake-news is fake.

So typical of the QPG to asks such vague questions. Schindler List was R-rated. Why? Some “raw” brief image of nudity, not for shock value, but for impact and showing of human vulnerability. The movie was about a man named Schindler who took great risks in trying to save Jews from the N a z i e s. Should a child under 17 see such a movie? Sure, if that child can process mature subjects without crying too much or being traumatized. Not all children need to read little kiddie books. Some are smart and can read newspapers, complicated science, the Holy Bible. Why do we dumb down our students/children, and let smart Asians pass us up?

And some nudity scenes, really are no more “obscene” than the marital unfaithfulness garbage on soap operas, that probably nobody should watch, yet those are not even rated to protect children from their minds getting corrupted? Was swimming in the nude, at the YMCA, only decades ago, “obscene”? Are family-friendly nude beaches, “obscene”? Should women going topless on the beach, be “obscene” in countries where that is more so the norm? Some cultures do not consider that woman’s area to be “obscene”. I would probably allow for my daughters to go topless, if that is the cultural standard for the place, and not some sort of immoral debauchery intention.
