It may be that, or it may just be the cultural background of the 
parents (I can live in hope). Take a look at the ratings for The 
Matrix Reloaded in various countries:

Argentina:13
Australia:M
Brazil:12
Canada:14A
Chile:TE
Denmark:11
Egypt:(Banned)
Finland:K-11
France:U
Germany:16
Netherlands:12
New Zealand:M
Norway:11
Singapore:NC-16 (uncut version)
Singapore:PG (cut version)
Sweden:11
Switzerland:14 
UK:15
USA:R 

So an Egyptian may think that we adults are immoral for going to see 
it, while a Norwegian would think we were being repressive if we 
prevented 12 year olds watching it!

Cheers,

Dumbledad.
