Often time it DOES take hitting rock bottom to begin the process of repentence.
The unfortunate state of mankind beset by human nature, which by the way our founding fathers were so well acquanted with that they built our form of government with the foibles of human nature considered.
If only we had listened and held them in high esteem.
Many generations of women came to flowering sexual maturity without engaging in THAT....
needs more tongue action.
and why do people that stupid deserve to have articles about them??
I am so glad my grandchildren never cared for her..they did not watch much TV anyway while growing up so that was one good thing..
I don’t watch watch MTV or hardly any TV and I have seen pictures and stuff about this. It’s shoved into their faces whether they watched or not.

Remember paris hilton? Several years ago there was a ‘sex tape’ making its way around the world through the internet. I didn’t see it and have no interest in seeing it. Shortly after, her popularity soared.
miley cirus had a wholesome clean image, until now. Apparently her career was tanking, so she or her producers decided to go slut. And now everyone is talking about her. I don’t know if it has helped her career, and I don’t care.
Why is it that wholesome goes nowhere, and slut sells?
Did the Romans of the Imperium reach rock bottom?
Since when?
They reached their rock bottom when the Roman empire fell.
I think Cyrus’s “performance” was more stupid than lewd. The danger in what she did is influencing young teens to act stupid.
She was baptized in a Southern Baptist church in 2005.
Her godmother is Dolly Parton.
She is an avid supporter of gay rights. She has a tattoo with two stripes on her ring finger symbolizing equal rights for gays.
By 2011 she had a personal worth of 120 million dollars.

God, that’s funny! bravo !!!
One of the first things I learned in A.A. 33 years ago.
True. That is definitely not photoshopped.
I have decided that for me personally, there is only one way to look at the total decline of morality and civil behavior in society: It’s all Bible prophecy and there is nothing we can do about it. Keep your faith strong, don’t give in, don’t accept what you know is wrong because it’s popular opinion, take care of yourself and your family, sit back and let it happen.
If you have looked over your kid's shoulders (before you took over the TV) you would have seen that the morphing of the mean has been underway for over a decade. MTV was bad enough when it first started with fisheye views of performers' noses. Then it expanded into a social crusade.
Much of this dreck is presented as 'edgy' because that gets people to look. Next season it is passe.
From the naughty start of soap opera infidelity to today's splatter flicks (to video game slaughter and hardcore porn) has been a long road, each step desensitizing and normalizing increasingly perverted and salacious and violent behaviour until that is presented to children and teens (and even witless adults) as normal life...and thus, for many, it becomes so, because the bar of their expectations has been inexorably lowered by the media.
Even on "comedy" shows, 1/4 of the cast are homosexual, intelligent Caucasian males are a rarity, and Christian values have been all but pushed off the screen.
But let one show like Duck Dynasty squeak through, and people flock to it. That tells me there is hope for America, that most people aren't buying what MTV has to sell (although many are).
There is still a lot of decency here, it just isn't being sold on TV.
One other thing you can do: fellowship with others of similar mind and take very small steps to rebuild the culture on a small scale. That could happen a million ways. Invite one other family over for “clean movie night” or (if you’re a parent) find a small group of other parents who feel the same way you do about your culture and have the kids do activities together. It’s from small things that Judeo-Christian values will survive.
