And we all know, if it’s not safe for a 2-year old, then it shouldn’t be allowed.

To: cycle of discernment
I'm a bit ambivalence about this. One the one hand, I'm aware about the song lyrics and music videos of current popular musics. On the other hand, I also learn that some of the tween stars, like Jonas brothers and Selena Gomez, are openly against pre-marital sex... The same in the other popular culture: Twilight, for instance. It's among very few mega-popular series whose main characters are (1) very much against pre-marital sex, and (2) against abortion. Granted, the reasons are found in the story, not because of religious reason, but it is interesting how the author (a devout Mormon) weaves that to the story.

I think what we need is praying for the Christians who work in the industry. What happened to Mel Gibson, for instance, like it or not, reflected negatively on Christians.

Music videos haven't been safe for 2 year olds since the ‘80s.

“parents can’t control it”

Is that like not being able to control one’s car turning into a McDonald’s drive through? I had no problem controlling what my daughter watched, and she didn’t eat fast food either. This needs an adjective added to read “lazy parents can’t control it.” I’m blessed with a lovely daughter with modesty who started college at 13 and has social skills many would covet. As for the whole article, a “captain obvious” alert would apply for thinking people, but I’m guessing he’s a libtard and it’s aimed at libtards.

But spending every cent in taxes they will ever pay before they are born is healthy and good.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

The best thing that ever happened to pop music was MTV. And the worst, most self defeating business mistake ever made was when the RIAA decided that MTV should pay immense royalties for advertising their music.

People who watched MTV still remember dozens of musicians and performers from that time. But if you ask them who is hot today, with the exception of the holdovers still performing, maybe only two or three new artists. Do they like their music? Meh.

The reasons that only a few grunge performers remain is that they have little or no competition. The RIAA wants all the money, every penny, from everybody, and doesn’t want to spend even a penny to make more.

For pop music to flourish, the RIAA delenda est.

I blame the parents who let their children indulge in this stuff. The music industry is only publishing it because THEY BUY IT.
