My work consists of doing things with my hands. Therefore, I have plenty of time to dwell in my mind in far too complex contemplations about anything during the day while I'm listening to my favourite music. But by the time I get home in the evenings (such as now) I have no energy to write them down here even though hearing your possible thoughts of the matter(s) would be very interesting.
I'm so lazy.
And now I'll watch that final episode of the Bad Girls (season one, to be exact). You know, I identified myself with Nikki Wade right away. Curiously enough, Simone Lahbib playing Nikki's on-screen lover looks very much like Her. Guess what was going though my mind when they finally gave in and kissed at the end of the ninth episode? ;)

Yes, I can. At least one can always hope, although that rating tells more about the people who invented it than it does about me.
I wonder how they would rate a movie that not once used words such as 'fuck', or 'death' etc. but still very clearly insuated those matters?

True, people who invent these rating things must be very uptight. I am all for protecting 'teh children', but shielding them from the reality of the world, is not going to protect them, it is going to cripple them...
As for how they would rate insinuation, hmmm... I think that would depend on the overall topic of the movie. I was mystified when I watched Imagine Me & You, in which there were precious few bad words, and even they were things like 'damn it', and 'bollocks', and the only sexual thing was a kiss or two, but it got an R Rating? I mean, wtf? And then the new die hard movie, with things blowing up, and so on, death, mayhem, destruction, violence. It got a PG-13...

Yes, the balloon and ice cream filled life is not going to do them much good since all of us have to face the real world before long.
The rating is American so it probably explains quite a bit. Die hard movies have a very clear (at least the three previous ones did) division between the bad guys (most of which are usually foreigners) and the good guys (McClane & co.) and it is always McClane who wins, with unquestionable help of lots of guns (to keep up the gunmania in the US, protected by the Constitution). And then the movies celebrating values that contradict those of conservative Americans get a higher rating. For instance, Brokeback Mountain's rating in US is R but in Finland PG-11!

True, very true...
