To "blue64," claiming that this is a generational thing or that people like Kilbourne are pushing Judeo-Christian values is incredibly off-track. Ms. Kilbourne is NOT a conservative Christian, and there is a huge difference between parents lamenting Elvis Presley and Ludacris's "Move Bitch Get Out The Way!" The movement toward sexualized and misogynist media has exploded in the last couple decades, and unless you have been living in a cave, how you claim that it is all relative. What naivete!

The will of young is lost from to much mental masturbation. The bombarding dictates from the cult of vanity, has managed to shape the once untainted minds of the young, now into a living breeding culture of harlots.

"What happens when they're thirteen now happens when they're three." No, isn't that just a bit of an exaggeration? I think it's more like 8, 9, or 10.

No offense, but it seems like these parents are living in the 1950s, where there was a lot of sexual repression and so-called "good Judeo-Christian morals." They should accept that things have changed, and I'm sure that when these sexually-influenced kids have kids of their own, they'll be saying the same things their parents are saying, that the society is too sexualized. It's a generational thing, that is, it's all relative.

I'm not sure about you guys, but have you seen in the video the recent ads for Gossip Girl, where they quote newspapers and right-wing organizations who think the show is the worst thing since the creation of cable TV? Well, one thing these people should know is that they're just actors, and in real life, they're smart and even politically active, as shown in this satirical ad supporting telling parents to just say no to McCain. (It's done in the style of a drug PSA.) watch?v=RxvHkFLmqRk

okay your talking in maths my friend. I'm having trouble understanding your point. Yes, I understand it a recognized science but many believe it to be a fake science, you dont hear those dissents anymore though, they've been banned from colleges and universities alike. I don't to think of that as opinion though, cause im not just basing it off what someone else tells me. When the economy is doin good the people are not, yet it gives the people something to believe in so idk

I will skip the psychiatry discussion as from what you are saying it would take volumes to argue. We can just agree to disagree. Economics is in no way BASED on "the market regulates itself." That is just one of many simple and complex theories that developed. Economics is a much broader field of study then you seem to be understanding from your statement. Google it Simple put; to say economics is false implies something has been proven, if it has been proven it was proven using economics.
