I cannot speak for Canada, and they no doubt are confused by now with what Chan ... said. But the United States should be united and not different in each state concerning these important matters. Did they leave it up to each state to determine if cigarette sin taxes should be enforced or was it the House of Representives at the federal level. All movies have some sort of bad influence. Nudity, bad words, violence, people breaking the law, people drinking or acting stoned. Just don't allow kids under 18 years of age to have access to such subversive material.

Now if I was like the anti-smoking guy and got lots of donations I could lobby washington and get those dumb laws amended that are preventing me from enacting those rules with our police department.

Or else we could tax Hollywood out of business so that they cannot promote all those bad things anymore. Parents should not have to play Big Brother without the help and the back up of government concerning those undersupervised kids who sneak around trying to get peaks at adult behavorism. What if they grow up to be like us? Good greif, what if kids got abondoned at an airport and took it over, national security is at risk. Pushing too much responsibility off on the parents will only lead to more abortions. Why should parents spank kids for not following the rules when we pay the police to do it with billy clubs? It is clear that the government is better trained at torturing kids then parents.

Rating the films just because someone lights up a cigarette will not remove the root cause which is that films can influence society because we are all copycats of the superstars. Better to go hog wild and pass a national law that kids cannot watch movies, DVD, or TV. As well as knotholes in walls and keyholes. (in case they see someone smoking on the other side).

By the way, I am only entertaining my self by advocating all this garbage.
But if those big companies want to send me all that grant money, I don't mind selling out and preaching to people like those anti-smoking people
do.
