I would say more than that. The kind that just did not care. What a waste.

She's an heiress, a trust fund baby. That's not a bad thing, but in her case, I get the feeling that she was never taught to be responsible.
Saw something not long ago in print about an interview done with her where the interviewer tried to ask her about current events. It could have been an act, but the woman came off as being completely and utterly clueless. I suppose there are some who think she doesn't need brains when she has money, but I wonder...what would she and others like her do if the money dries up? They have utterly no preparation for life in the real world.
Ronnie in the White HouseReagan was no cultural conservative. His FCC appointees believed in the power of the channel changer and the on-off switch. If there was one agency the moral majorettes would love to have controlled, that was it...and he gave it to their opposites.
Look at the popular culture in 1989 compared to 1981, and look at his popularity among its adherents at the end of his term. Or even in 1984...the Dims were giving birth to porcupines (breech presentation) over his share of the under-30 vote.

Very, very, very, very wealthy ones! As is Monica, Paris, Madonna, Jane F., Pamela whatever......sex sells and our non-judgemental audience revels in it. Trash is trash - no matter how it rationalizes itself and its attitudes.
LOL
LOL, I loved that episode!I can pretty much guarantee the author of this article did not. At least not publically.
The cultural collectivists hate South Park. It's also the libertarian-right's most effective voice among the generation that is otherwise being soaked in PC-left. For many of the same reasons.

Calendars showing more skin were found in garages all over America in the 1950's, and were usually called "cheesecake", not porn.
The problem here, is not the skin, but the fact that she was umm ... "dancing" with the car. (Yea, that is what she was doing, "dancing".)
What kind? A capitalist one. She's worked what she has hard and has made a mint from it, to add to her inherited wealth.
People spell it a different way?
Drug laws are pure morality regulation, but laws against murder and theft are the purview of the government because they are protecting personal rights and property rights (the only regulation the govt should be involved in, IMO).
I often see it spelled "ny." And so few people realize that nigh has a comparative and a superlative.
Glad they set their goals high ... and achieved them. "You've come a long way, baby".
Yes, they can be justified that way as well. But there is certainly a heavily moral component to murder laws -- otherwise, killing someone is self-defense would be difficult to justify. And a rights theory, as Locke wrote, is derived from Biblical injunction. Besides, there are plenty of other laws based on morality: laws barring statutory rape, for example.
Thank you for pointing that out. It's usually missed in these converations.
" The moral among us have been forced into tolerance of immorality"
Bingo.
Once madison Avenue realized sex sells, the whole damn dam opened up.
Yeah, but those are calendars, this is a TV and print ad.
Probably because nighest and nigher sound a little odd.
As Robert Bork has written, everyone agrees with capitalism -- we just disagree on what kind of products should be allowed in the marketplace. Pornography should not be allowed in the marketplace. That doesn't mean we should be socialists with regard to other products.
Actually it's irregular, like good-better-best.
It's nigh-near-next.
He lost me here.
You mean you want no regulation of societal mores like laws against theft, rape, violence, slavery, public drunkeness, age of consent, etc.?
Or do you want the government only regulating the morals you like, and ignoring the ones you want to be free to violate?
