You must be joking!! It pours out of every shopping Mall store, it's all over the TV, radio stations on baggy arsed punk kids who think they are black gangsters and would put a knife in you cause they felt like it, it's on young girls who look more like whores than children. It's pumping out of sub-woofers from some kids car as it goes past the house in the middle of the night. Still the only reason I cannot just ignore it is because I actually care what happens to our kids and our society. I am not just happy to sit in my house and say well stuff everyone else my family is ok. As someone who has done a lot of youth ministry I know that even kids that come from very good homes can get infected by this stuff and it is a real struggle to keep them on the right track.

Amen, Mel. Most of us here in the States are sick to death of it, too. I can't stomach the manure that passes for popular entertainment right now, and so I do my best to avoid it--for my family's sake. We have no TV service (just selected DVD's & videos), and that has made a huge difference. Thank heaven for good books.

I loved when my 6-year old daughter came home from first grade and asked, "Who's Brittany Spears?" She really had no idea. Unfortunately, most everyone else in her class did.

It's a constant struggle, and culture (I hate to even use that word) every day becomes baser and baser. You take care of your own family, and you try your best to influence the media to just TRY giving us some decent entertainment.
