Times change, violence gets more explicit, yet the MPAA ratings system still operates under an anachronistic assumption: that modern parents can control what their children see. Junior can buy a ticket for a PG-13 film and stroll into an auditorium showing an R. Or a few months later, he and his friends can rent it from a video store, where kids are rarely carded. Or they go to Wal-Mart and buy the even grottier "unrated" version. (Wal-Mart won't sell R-rated movies to kids under 17, but it will sell unrated ones. Hostel...
...researcher, that is frustrating not because I want people to tell me those things—I don’t—but because I don’t want to be so explicit,” Stern said in an interview just before leaving for Amsterdam. “It just reminds them that they have done bad things...or that when they talk to me, maybe I’m not on their side...

...agreements and also the Saudi peace initiative adopted by the Arab League in 2002 (which offers full recognition of Israel and normalization of relations in exchange for a withdrawal to the Jewish State's 1967 borders, and a "just solution" to the Palestinian refugee issue). But it offers no explicit recognition of Israel. And while it raises the possibility of extending a truce, it does not actually renounce violence - in fact, it explicitly reasserts the right to "resistance" until the Israeli occupation is ended. Not all Palestinians take that as a call to arms, yet it's hardly what Washington...
