[QUOTE="Hanging-On, post: 35834, member: 2325"] I think "Today's" society has allowed some very bad language, images, and mannerism into the mainstream. I have boys, not girls, but I still found the remarks wrong. For this reason I disconnected us from the radio and tv years ago because of the messages that are being presented on the airwaves. I also moved us out into the country away from "modern" society influences. I don't let them listen to rap music, I think it's exteremely angry negative disrepectful sexest violent garbage. We don't have cable, only a dvd player and "I" pick the programs they watch. Interestingly, since I disconnected us from cable, we don't watch tv much anymore (0-5 hrs per week). I make them go outside and play, or build something out of clay, etc. I know that we have come far in not using the "n" word, and treating minorities better (at least this is what the propaganda says), but I think we are just substituting one mean disrespectful word and image with another. And the new words and images are worse then the first ones, like the creators are trying to push the envelope to see how far they can go. This "testing" per se is not benefiting our society, but making it worse...my 2 cents. What ever happened to "Yes, mamam, Yes sir,please, thank-you, your welcome, excuse me, girl or lady, boy or man...instead of ho and hood"? [/QUOTE]
