[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 375975, member: 2205"] The US MPAA rating system has G -- General Audiences; no content should be objectionable to anyone of any age, PG -- Parental Guidance -- not really objectionable content, but parents may want to preview the material as some may be inappropriate, PG-13 -- children under the age of 13 should not see unless accompanied by an adult who consents to let them, R -- children under age 17 should not see unless accompanied by a parent who authorizes them to do so and NC-17 -- children under 17 not admitted even with a parent. NC-17 is a kinda loosey-goosey new rating that supposedly gives a legitimate rating to movies that want to claim to be something more than just unrated porn. The examples you gave, Natural Born Killers, the Sopranos (which is TV, and thus not subject to the same MPAA ratings anyway) as NC-17 or worse are actually rated R. But as you say, in the US we're somewhat more tolerant of violence versus sex than the Europeans or the South Americans (can't speak for the rest of the world, although I've heard Australia follows a model similar to Europe in regards to tolerance of violence versus sex?)
