I think the movie should be shown the way the director wanted it to be shown. Instead of the way the studios want it to be shown, so they can make extra money by having a more "teen-friendly" rating.

I can't think of many examples of PG-13 and (would be) R movies that this happens to, but I know it happens all the time with R and (would be) NC-17 movies. That's why on DVDs you see so many "Unrated Versions" of movies. But these are usually comedies, so cutting out scenes doesn't exactly hurt the plot.
