Nope, never did either of those.

but as far as I know people don't take the time to go through them. That is why I think it needs to be simple. If you read my post you would see that I agreed with you but I think out of 10 just gets overly complicated. I think having a global rating (easy for theaters) and subdivisions for each aspect (Language, violence/gore, sex/nudity, theme) makes a bit more sense. Let me ask you this, you have language as one of them, explain to me what 0,1,2....10 would mean for language, then imagine how complicated it gets for rating the films and as a parent to know what is the difference between 6,8,6 and 7,7,6 or 6,7,7 or 7,8,5.... that is why I thought using the same divisions we have now (the 4-5 ) would be simpler while showing why it got that rating.

I understand what you are saying and that is a good point. I would be happy with something that simple, as long as there was a detailed place online that I could find the "content" information. No matter what rating is in use, it will be considered subjective. Everyone has different ideas/beliefs/morals and that is fine. The rating system should not push one set of beliefs more then another, that is not it's job. Its job is to inform about movie content. I like keeping it simple. By having the content available, (online per se) anyone one would be able to make informed decisions if they deem the content appropriate for their kids.
