He left ‘hooking up’ off his list.

You might check out malls and public school dances for some evidence.

The link to the second part is even better than this article. Is there hope for our culture?

Is that the way you determine the validity of an argument, by the person’s name or nom-de-plume? And, who is “we?”

Am I to assume you give a crap about what I think or what I do or are you just assuming a morally superior stance to keep in practice?

I don’t think all of America is decadent, but some parts of it certainly are.

When you post an opinion do you assume that everyone agrees with you and expect to avoid a critique? But I guess my comment was somewhat gratuitous. My apologies.

Apology accepted, thanks.

I just found the article overly generalistic and ready to extrapolate from examples-of-one to sweeping generalities. But then, I am by nature more on the technical side and prefer the concrete and tangible to the amorphous. I think it’s equally delusional to compare overcovered and in-your-face events of today to some idealized “Leave it to Beaver” vision of reality as it is to take the most horrible example of depraved behavior one can find and bemoan the death of civilization therefrom. People have been doing horrible, rotten things to other people since time immemorial.
