Has anyone noticed the trend of conditioning with the media we have going on recently.
I've noticed that pretty much all you hear on the TV is sex and money. It's really a bit scary.
Everything on the TV is about sex and money. And if you listen to the music nowadays, everyone has a central theme. Essentially all the popular songs are talking about "do whatever you want, forget the haters". I've just noticed it seems although music and media is trying to condition the youth to be immoral and practice drug use. Looking at Miley Cyrus' video-"We Can't Stop", Lil Wayne's "Love Me", Drake's music, Mike WiLL Made-It's "23". We are being conditioned to accept drug use, sexual immorality, orgies, enmity, etc, to be normal. These videos are very popular and a lot of people will tell you oh its just a video, or oh there isn't anything wrong with it. Anyone else notice this? Maybe I'm crazy lol.

It's always been there, it's just more prevalent and overt now that we live in a more connected world.

I obviously wasn't around in those times but by mere observation ive noticed that there has been a moral decay happening since, the 50's especially since the 60s and 70s. Kinda like we give humanity and inch and they take a mile. Now I know debauchary and whatever has been around since forever but society did have a pretty high moral standard for a while there especially with public display. Now its gotten to the point where ive seen high shorts so high the bottom of their butt cheek is sticking out. I just wonder how far these things are going to go, and since when did the breast only include the nipple?

In the 1750s Jonathan Edwards said we were already in a post-Christian culture.

Sin and secularism have been around for a long time.

Same here. It actually sickens me as well.
Kids are being sexualized earlier and earlier.
And the saddest thing about it is, even people are age seem to get worse and worse.
I actually had numerous people I know tell me they don't regret having premarital sex, yet they are still single and constantly have battles because of their past. I've seen pre-teens grinding on things. Its quite sad

What the crap are children doing on Facebook? The rules mention that you have to be 13 years old or older. It's the same for most (all?) discussion forums etc.

US law requires that sites obtain written parental consent from the parents of users under the age of 13. Most sites just choose to not accept users under the age of 13 since obtaining and verifying the validity of written parental consent would be a major headache.

True but there are very easy ways to bypass most of that stuff.
