wrong, it was offensive to us Democrats who don't like moralistic idiots whining about violence in video games and swearing in music.
What is with far-leftists and their extreme dislike for moral people? Sorry that people like Joe Lieberman actually care what kids see on TV and hear in music. Sorry that people want kids to grow up with a sense of what is right and what is wrong. I don't like Joe Lieberman that much because he has some liberal social views but I thank Joe for having morals.
You know how I know you go to Catholc school KP... What public school kid from Northeast Philadelphia would give a crap about what you just said?
what kid would care? someone with brains. If more kids were religious or had morals, you think kids would be getting in as much trouble as they do these days, Handzus? I'm not understanding your point in saying I know you go to Catholic school. Ok would you like a prize for that? And I'm no parrot of a Catholic teacher. I truely believe in the Catholic faith and its ashame that someone as misguided as you doesn't have faith.
I'm not saying all of the teachings in Catholic theology class are wrong, but definitely out of touch at times. They're usually taught by some old guy that lived in a rectory for 50+ years and has no idea. That's part of the reason I think Catholic priests should get married.
If anything I think kids are too sheltered and not exposed ENOUGH to learn right from wrong. For being from Northeast Philadelphia especially at your age you seem to be very well read and straight edge. You and I both know MANY are not. The reason for this is not television, but as Akno said there are a lot of single parents or even kids from both parents whose parents could care less. I went to HS with a lot of these types. They would be the first to drink and smoke at say age 14. They were good kids, but man did these types ever lead a lot of others down the wrong path. I don't know about you, but a lot of us drank in parks especially Juniata and Wissinoming. I only went a few times, but I knew people that went every weekend even on school nights. This wasn't until we were say 15 or 16.
Speaking of local issues affecting Northeast Philadelphia, another issue not brought up enough are VERY young kids some as young as 6th grade walking around, acting thuggish, drinking 40s and even smoking marijuana. And these kids don't care about anything. They leave their bottles behind A-Plus stores and one even had the nerve to ask me to buy them Phillies blunts. Hmm, wonder why??? I'm not trying to be racist here, but most of these kids are white. KP, don't you think it's funny these issues aren't mentioned in the Northeast Times or the News Gleaner not nearly as much as Section 8? Food for thought.
Conclusion: Moral decline in youth is not as much from TV as it is from bad parenting. I find that at times the kids who are more repressed at home tend to find these bad groups very quickly.
