because they edited the crap out of it. They made sure that movie could be seen by members if they hadn't it'd be rated R. Do your homework people!

I must say that it IS brave for anyone, member or not to say this. Some members would shrink at the thought of watching an R-rated movie. Yes, even I had these same notions but then, I realized I wasn't giving them a chance. Yes, R-rated movies for the most part are bad, but there are PG-13 movies that are worse than an R. I've seen quite a few myself. I've seen R-rated movies (they were edited/on TV) but I wasn't able to enjoy the whole thing. I don't believe R-rated movies lead to anything bad like drinking, doing drugs or becoming violent, if someone does become involved with these things it's because they wanted to and it's not the movie's fault. I do believe that these things come about because people are not informed enough and so they try it out to see why people make such a stink over it. We, as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints MUST be informed. If we are to judge ANYTHING we must be informed. As a missionary I could not judge anyone who wasn't a member to the same standards as a member, because they didn't know as much as we do, or should know, I cannot judge someone because their standards are different than mine.

I must disagree with you. There are movies out there that are rated PG-13 that are worse than rated R movies. Just because a movie is rated PG-13 doesn't mean it's better than an R-rated movie. We cannot base what movies we watch or anything we watch really on MPAA. There are good qualities to all movies, some have more than others but all have good qualities in them.
