That's your choice. Films don't leave terrorists laying dead in the streets. Drones do. That's my choice.

The prudishness of the American movie rating system is germane to a movies thread, I believe, while the military and political systems are not.

Wrong. Your subjective displeasure with Americans has nothing at all to do with the content of the film itself. Therefore, your vitriol is superfluous.
Moreover, your assumptions about Americans are nothing short of stereotyping. You have no clue how Americans will receive the film being discussed, yet you are more than willing to jump to a negative conclusion. But you're not alone. Gil is right there with you.

You are missing the point. My comment was acceptable and in line with the subject of the thread but yours wasn't it. Drones have little to do with film.

No, you're missing your point. Your comment was yet another expression of your disdain for Americans. Drones have to plenty to do with people who don't like America.
