    Therapists don't really give positive reinforcement. They just sort of sit there asking questions and writing in a notebook, the contents of which would open a window into your own consciousness that should forevermore remain closed.

    There should be a thing like hookers except they deal with positive reinforcement instead of sex.

    Hookers do that to. You'd be surprised how often they actually don't have sex with a client.

    Wouldn't phone sex workers do this as well?

    Wow, anyone heard about this? There's a documentary called "The bully Project", about bullying, right?

    it's rated R. The director wanted to make the film for children and teenagers who are victims of bullying, but... they can't see the film thanks to whoever rates films, the MPAA?

    they could see it if their parents took them to see it instead of taking them to violent R-rated movies.

    Therapists don't really give positive reinforcement.

    It's part of the Carl Rogers school, which influences a lot of current therapy (to greater or lesser degrees depending on the therapist).

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    They're called therapists.

    That's still all kinds of bullshit. Hell, it's rated G here in Quebec. We have sane, lax rules when it comes to rating movies.

    Yeah, that controversy has been a pretty big deal, but ultimately it'll only increase the film's exposure anyway.

    Yeah, I've been following this situation because it's kind of important to me.

    It's not going to be rated R. The producer (Harvey Weinstein) told the MPAA to go fuck themselves and he's releasing it without their rating. Which is fucking awesome.

    It's actually unrated for actual release. But yeah, a couple utterances of "fuck" is worse than all the incredibly violent PG-13 movies aimed at teens. Obviously.

    MPAA members have an agreement, yes, but I don't know which theaters specifically are part of the MPAA.

    I do know that AMC Theaters is not, because they vowed to run the film regardless of the rating.

    Here we go.

    http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2012/03/weinstein-co-to-release-bully-documentary-without-mpaa-rating.html
    For his part, AMC theaters executive Gerry Lopez has said he will stand by the film, suggesting the chain will play it nationally even if it is unrated. Indeed, the movie opens in limited release this weekend at the AMC Century City as well as at the ArcLight Hollywood and the Landmark in Los Angeles, and the Angelika and Lincoln Square in New York.

    Sex is worse than swearing is worse than violence. It's the natural order of things.

    Kids don't get fucked up by seeing a dude knife another guy in the eye then torture him to death, but like ten seconds of nipples and you've basically got a case of sex-crazed Hitler on your hands.

    I might be a little bit annoyed with how our society handles this.

    Here's a better link.

    http://www.npr.org/2012/03/30/149668761/bullying-movie-is-released-with-no-rating
    . Of the three largest, the Regal chain has said it will show "Bully" in four locations, but treat it as though it was rated R. Cinemark will not show "Bully." AMC says they'll show it at theaters in New York and Los Angeles.

    Edit:

    There should be a thing like hookers except they deal with positive reinforcement instead of sex.

    I'm pretty sure you can hire a hooker to pretend to love you for an evening. It'll be expensive, but you might be able to negotiate a nightly rate or something.

    ironically, i won't be seeing it... i'll probably rent it at some point, but i don't think i'd be able to go through it in a single sitting, bullying really burns my britches, if you'll allow me to use harsh language.
