(don't get me wrong, making drugs illegal makes about the same sense it did during prohibition.)
I agree. And I also agree that there should be no illegal substances. If you want to snort LSD spiked ecstasy cocaine and follow it up with a heroin injection chased by a bag of mushrooms, be my fvcking guest.
If MTV isn't what people craved, it wouldn't exist in this form today. Deal with it.
Sure. I deal with it daily. I volunteer with a local crisis center... and seeing the 3rd girl this month told that she has an STD is something I hope you'll try someday. All of them were under 16. No one can tell me that the moral decay exemplified by MTV is not at least partially responsible. I'm sorry, marketing sexual behaviour to the 13-16 demographic is, to me, insane. Kids are not allowed to be kids anymore.
This is an insanely sexualized society, and MTV is numero uno in that arena. MTV pushes the line that will become the norm on primetime networks in 2-3 years. Look how far the line has already been pushed. I'm a sociologist by training. I understand these trends.
It would not be so bad if the education system would actually produce critical thinkers, not passive dumpsters ready for MTV's trash.
Well, I'm a Marine and I wouldn't mind taking a blow at Kid Rock. I mean the man hasn't come up with any original material in years and now he expects for people to respect him for wearing a flag in the form of a Mexican Sarape?
I'd JOIN the Marines if they were allowed to take a shot at Kid Rock.
I'm more upset that Viacom = MTV = CBS = Paramount Pictures = Comedy Central = Spike TV and on and on and on and on......and Michael Powell thinks that they shouldn't have to sell any of their tv stations.

THIS will wake you up... No denying it, really. Be it Bush, Clinton, Kerry, Whoever... We are all in the middle of a sickening web.
We're all not this idiotic here in the good old US of A. Some of us -like- nipples, don't see what the big deal is about and are amazed at all the chatter that jammed the media outlets today.
The fact that an AI thread went four pages deep on the topic is a perfect example. The fact that it might go for four more is even more baffling.
What an absolute joke. This country is so strung out on false morality ! The Superbowl was in a city with a strip club and a whore on every corner and they had to import more for the SB crowd! Don't the moralists think that "the children" see this too? How many kids watched the "stay away from drugs" announcements while their accompanying adults sloshed down beer until they could not stand up!? Let us promote responsible sexuality and responsible drinking instead of this hypocritical puritanical nonsense. Your kids are dirty dancing and they are having sex. Taking away their MTV will not change a dam* thing. Maybe it is time to look yourself in the eye and face up to the realities of being human instead of lamenting ?Father knows Best? and Leave it to Beaver? (something tells me I should not have used that word).
False Morality in this case refers to the inconsistent "do as i say not as i do " mentality. Perhaps "iinconsistent morality" would have been more appropriate wording to convey my thought.

Didn't he have that statue covered up?
However, this article: http://www.lingerie-stockings.com/ashcroft-statue.html claims it was not, in fact, Ashcroft that was directly responsible.
Regardless, it's the symbolism I was shooting for.

Please give your definition of "true" versus "false" morality...
