Spielberg said that he couldn’t make the movie “softer” without being true to the horror that went on, and that parents have to make the decision whether or not to let their kids watch. His own kids, he said, of elementary school age, had not seen the film, but he thought highschool kids could.

Exactly.
Abd why can’t this be the standard line for all movies, rather than just over-rated Spielberg films? Why do we need to cut and slash them all for TV just to cave in to the morons at the AFA and other idiotic social conservatives?

Our country - for some reason I will probably never understand - coddles the lowest common denominator. Not the highest or even the middle.
What I really don’t get is that, not counting cable, I can choose between this thing, football, Simpsons/American Dad/Family Guy, CBS’s thing on 9/11, and The Reptiles/Mystery. I hate these sorts of idiots. Either watch something else or don’t watch anything at all. You do have free control of your TV and all.

If you cannot say ‘fuck’ when a plane hits a skyscraper and is burning out of control, then when can you?

No, you can’t even say it then. Don’t you remember the brace faced red headed girl at the DNC lecturing us about how horrible it was that the “Vice President said a bad word”? (And I maintain it was that which hurt Kerry so bad and not the Swiftboat nonsense.)
