| Do we hand out free prostitues to children to have sex?
Do we hand out free booze to children to get them to drink?
Do we hand out free firearms to children because it's their constitutional right? (Depending where you live)
The only logical thing I see that would relate to your argument is that if we change the ratings of movies with smoking because they have smoking and kids might become impressionable.... then we change all the movies with anything that could be deemed impressionable to the youth.
Here's a logical test to at least see if your reports are somewhat accurate:
Anybody...... this is a call out to anybody in these forums to please answer honestly..... "HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER STARTED SMOKING BECAUSE OF A MOVIE?"
Please raise your hands or better yet, please post a reply saying if you have or not.
If there is even one..... 1 (ONE) Person in these forums alone who can admit honestly that they picked up smoking based on a TV show or a Movie, I'll considder that well documented report as having some truth.
And before someone comes and defends these reports, saying that if nobody here admits to the above, that it doesn't relate because of a small % here compared to the stat..... my reply is this;
Statistics if accurate and true, should hold relatively accurate to real life examples, and if not one single person here out of a random picking has never had an urge to smoke based on what a movie showed..... then one has to question the stats. |
