Go With the New System

I think that the new system is a good idea because it will be easier to classify movies and it won't be as subjective. You are basically keeping the same scale...A is equivalent to G, R is equivalent to the 18+. The only conflict that you would seem to run into is the U-18 because I don't feel like a 15 or 16 year old should have to have an adult with them in order to see a movie just because it includes the word "damn". I do, however, feel like the current rating system isn't really even applicable and doesn't really prevent people from seeing movies no matter who they are if they really want to. Plus, with the changing of times and the age at which kids are exposed to violence, language, and sexual behaviors on tv, I don't feel like you can set a rating on a movie to tell them they can't watch knowing that they see this kind of stuff everyday at home.
