This is the story about the clean child and the dirty child who go out to play and when they return, the clean child is dirtier, but the dirty child is not any cleaner.

Same thing with the culture clash. The coarser culture will rub off on the more refined one, but not the other way around.

So true. Yesterday my wife and I took a walk through the local mall and stopped in a "Spencers" store. We had not been in one for at least 20 years. Spencers caters to the youth of America and pop culture. It is supposed to be a edgy store. It was a place to get prank mugs and funny tee-shirts back when I was young

What we saw was not edgy, it was appallingly ugly and brutish. Thugs glorified. Sex glorified. Curse words on many many items. I felt like it was the pit of hell. I avoid pop culture as a rule, so I expected thing to be different, but I was shocked by the level depravity on display.
