Thanks "Reece",I agree the current state of our society is rather sad.
I get sick of the way our current media bashes the 50's and labels it "repressive" and "conformist" when it was an incredibly ambitious and creative time and we had a great society.
We are supposed to blindly embrace todays society and ignore the fact that our current "culture",music movies and tv encourage and cultivate degenerate behavior and attitudes....."Britney Spears sister pregnant at 16"..."Tiger Woods has 14 mistresses"..."porn star enters govenors race"....yep,we've come a long way from Ward and June Cleaver haven't we?
Weve gone from encouraging the best and brightest to rewarding the lowest underachivers and criminals.
We make millionaires out of rappers who glamorize a violent criminal lifestyle with lyrics that demean women and embrace violence,alcoholism,drug abuse and greed.
Todays generation has a perverse fascination with lowclass violent and vulgar imagery and themes.
We have plastic "truck balls" hanging from bumpers and hitches and brass knuckle and skull stickers with phrases like "itz all about 'da money" and "pimpin' ain't easy" ,"livin' large" etc.
The point is censorship isn't always a bad thing,we are witnessing the fallout of a society with extremely low standards brought about by increasingly permissive attitudes.
Where's "Doc" Brown when you need him?
