What I hate about feminists is that they're so fucking hyppocritical. They bitch about so much, yet when they're asked about the misogany in rap music (which u guys know is the worst) they avoid the subject out of fear of upsetting black people and tarnishing their progressive pc image. cunts.

The other reason i believe young people have no respect is because there has been an erosion of family values, this can be simple things like sitting down to dinner with your family rather than everyone doing their thing, but most importantly parents are letting their children do what they want all the time giving them no boundaries....

do you agree, do you think thing will change for the better or get progessively worse? I definately notice a huge difference between what kids were like when i grew up to what they are like today and i am only 21.

I know that our society in America is biult upon marketing, advertisement, and mass consumption.  I think one of the largest markets available in entertainment especially, is the youth.  Most entertainment industries are geared towards the youth.  Maybe this is why I could turn on turn on the local hip-hop/R&B station at any time of the day when I was 14 (1996) and I liked what I was hearing.  But now, I ain't feelin the product they are putting out on radio and television, it's for teenagers, yet they call it mainstream, this means that 14 year old kids dictate the culture; which is one reason why I highly recommend that one becomes counter-culture in a society like this. 

To answer your question, I don't know if it's getting worse or better, but anyway, it's worth discussing.

Yeah the best thing to do is discuss issues, rather than remain in a state of self induced ignorance. \

I agree wit D rizzle 100%.

What WE can do is raise OUR children right. With discipline, teaching them restraint, the value of life. Its hard to raise kids with the amount of advertising and peer pressure thrown at them. My father always restricted what I watched on TV or saw, he prefered I learn the realities of life from experience. So rather than learning violence from the media, he would take me and my mates out on the boat or to the bush so we could see death and life for what it really is. Rather than seeing it in the TV where it can be glorified or portrayed in an insensitive light. Now I'm older I appreciate this way of raising kids.
