Oh I forgot you don't watch much TV.
-I can now hear the words fuck and shit on regular cable tv -Jerry Springer? -Temptation Island? -Rap music? It just seems to me like it's a contest now to see who can go further over the top to be shocking and controversial. You have a new show about to start where people are admitting terrible things about their family in exchange for money. It's pathetic. I'm not saying it's because people aren't going to church, but a little spirituality (whether they're bowing cross legged to a buddha or eatin a cracker and drinkin some wine) couldn't hurt. |

Rap music and trash tv are designed for shock value. I don't know that they're the best measure of our nation's moral compass.
Of course, I spent part of this weekend watching some of season 4 of Penn & Teller's Bullshit! and a documentary entitled Fuck. So yeah... I might not be the best person to talk to about this...  I also swear in my sleep, eat dead babies, and, while not "living in sin", do frequently engage in pre-marital relations. (Ok, so I was kidding about the eating babies thing...)

Now you're just begging the question. What's wrong with these things? There's nothing immoral about being controversial or shocking.

If there's nothing wrong with them then when you're in a job interview make sure you use as many cuss words as possible. Hell look at some of the NSFW threads on here... some old dude torturing his cock? |

shit like that existed way back in the day. there were nasty ass stag parties, racism, genital mutilation 50-60 years ago and earlier. now its just a bit more in the public. so keeping weird gross things secret and living double lives or having it out in the open which one is betteR? you can make a case for both
if you dont believe me about the hard core mutilation, S&M in the 1890s-1950s ive got pictures! 7 years ago the thought of splitting a penis didnt just pop into a guys head out of nowhere -------------------- Little monkeys making money
Naked monkey looking funny Mighty males are strong and free Female monkey, not so lucky Rocking monkeys, funky monkeys Monkeys sticking other monkeys Monkeys wrong or monkeys right Mostly flexing monkey might |

Just saying it's become much more widespread. TV/internet/movies/music has desensitized us. |

The thing is, radio and movies were VERY racey when they first began. The FCC finally instituted rules to control radio content (and eventually tv content). Movies were even worse than radio, and when the Catholic church threatened to go to the FCC to control movie content, film makers began to control movie content and instituted a rating system to keep themselves from being controlled by the FCC, thus maintaining the artistic aspect of movies.
And thats one big run-on sentence I don't want to punctuate properly |
