Well, I have no argument with WHY we are the way we are, all over the country is pretty much the same, there are NOT many protestants in AZ but they act the same way as NE! I have noticed though that since I was a kid we have come along way! The TV commercials used to sell bras on a dummy, today we have women wearing their underwear on TV and dancing around. Mag ads are very explicit. I thinkpeople here dont look at sex as a natural thing, why? dont know..just like me walking around naked, I am in the minority. Violence is part of our heritage...we killed here since Columbus, the Pilgrims, you name it. Cartoons meant as entertainment are awful in their content. Kids emulate these movies...I think the problem is our society in general. We dont raise our children the same way as even when I was a kid. They are smarter but much lacking in the right from wrong..real vs not...is it TV? Americans watch tons of TV. But the world is a violent place too. I do try to shield my DDs from violence more than sex. They are the ones that think they shouldnt watch it I dont know, its just the way we are

[> [> I like what you said! Interesting about your DD´s. Seems like they are sensing the general attitude and act according to it. "Just the way we are" is probably exactly it, haha. -- Martina, 15:23:24 08/29/03 Fri
