Hollywood has ALWAYS had winners with family friendly movies.
Now they seem to be entering into what is, in my opinon, child pornography with HOUND DOG and
TOWELHEAD.  From what I have read of these two
movies, rated R (do actors under 17 appear in them? If so, they would be allowed into the theater without an adult!)
  We stopped going to the movies, as a family, back in the early 60s, BECAUSE OF THE PREVIEWS!
Complaining to the theater management did no good.
It would have to be G rated for me to even think of going to a movie now.
  Again, in my opinion, THESE TWO MOVIES SHOULD BE TOTALLY BOYCOTTED.  If the makes of these movie-makers find their wallets empty from them, maybe THAT WILL SEND A MESSAGE TO THE PRODUCERS THAT AMERICAN FAMILIES DON’T APPROVE OF SUCH FILTH.
  There is enough such filth available to those who are so inclined to watch such, they can watch them on their computers, which I presume carry such.
  A BOYCOTT, HITTING THEM IN THEIR COFFERS, SHOULD SEND THE PROPER MESSAGE, AND I HOPE THAT
OTHERS WOULD JOIN WE WHO ARE BOYCOTTING THEM.
What some school systems are teaching are almost as bad, really.  When a 14 year old has to sign a “Confidentiality Agreement” (illegal since 14
is underage), and promise not to tell their parents what the program was about….SOMETHING IS VERY, VERY WRONG and more explains why so many
are illiterate when getting their diploma!
I have 11 great grandchildren and advise my
grandchildren to pay close attention to what is in
books their children bring home from school. Ask
them, in a friendly, interested way, “What all did
you learn in school today?  Anything special?”
One might come back with, “We visited a Planned
Parenthool clinic today.” (from a 5th grader.)
  Oh, that parents could boycott the MSE (main
stream education). Some are fortunate enought to
afford to stay home and homeschool; some can afford private schools.  But most have 2 parents
working to afford to eat.

It’s the fast pace of our growth that is making our new generation familiar with many things. Condoms are not a common consumable but at the same time it creats a sense of security while having close relationship in teens.
