Did you force your children into your beliefs or encourage them to think on their own? How about their children?

Why don't you tell that to Obama. He seems to think that he knows what is best for Americans, regardless of what everyone tells him. Even if congress votes/suggests something, he thinks he knows better.
Like I have said before, America has rights. Some folks abuse those rights. Just because you have freedom of speech does not give you the RIGHT to yell "fire" in a movie theater. And yes, you have a right to abstain from frequenting the theater. Movies that I can tolerate with their sex and vulgar language would be just as good without those negative traits. I may be able to tolerate these negatives but my wife is embarrassed and put off by it. Would you take your girlfriend on a date to see Deliverance? Would you take a girlfriend on a first date to see "50 Shades of Gray?" I realize these are extremes but there are a lot of movies that you just wouldn't see with your spouse or girlfriend. And yes, my wife does like adventure/action movies. She is just put off by vulgar language and explicit sex scenes. Stuff that is not necessary for a good movie.
This is just my opinion and it has no power on the entertainment industry. Like I said before, I don't waste my money on the theater anymore. I can turn a movie or TV show on at home and switch channels if the material becomes offensive.
If language and sex is a must in order to sell the entertainment then it's not that good a quality to begin with. Another example of entertainment gone wrong is the music industry. Many of the songs today would not be on anyone's chart if not for explicit music videos.
Just because some action is a right, does not mean one should abuse that right. How long before the movie industry takes off the "XXX" rating and starts pushing porn? Every teenage boy will be in those theaters if the governor is released from the control.
You all think we have a problem with violence in America now, and entertainment is not contributing to it?
