Just because it offends you doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed, and I personally believe that's becoming what's wrong with society today. If it offends you, turn it off. Don't listen to it, and don't pay attention to it. At 15, you should have a lot more to think about than societal standards. At 30, you should have a lot more to think about than societal standards.

I think you're placing way too much blame in the wrong place. The radio makes its money by ENTERTAINING society. They play what PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR, because that's what makes them the most money. Mainstream artists make songs that people want to hear, because that's what will make THEM the most money. What about the parents, anyways? Where are they when 12 year-old jessica is spending the night at her boyfriend's house?

3 minutes of sexual discussion can't lead a child astray unless there's some parental issues at the house.

I'm not in any way, shape, or form trying to attack you, so please don't take it that way. I know a lot of times you can't hear tone of voice in posts, but I'm your friend. Trust me.:dance:
na man i think whyoftheleaf is thinking right, people should think about this kind of stuff and open their mind to the truth..... compared to the early 90's (which i remember clearly) everythings changed, because of the views the media puts out all the "family values" have changed for the worse and now you have these 15 yr old boys who think theyre "gangsta" and these little girls dressing like whores.....

do you remember the 90's (and i dont mean if you were born in 1992) im talking about if you were walking the streets, drinkin brew and listening to the "spin doctors" or "fun factory" on your gpx cassette walkman...... see i remember those days before computers were big (when you booted windows off a floppy and used command prompts)......

people used to act so different, we used to play b-ball on the corner and people werent nothing like today, girls used to wear shorts with those spandex pant things under them (when that was "in")
and people used to race home to see "saved by the bell" everyday

those were the days.........

to me: never to be forgotten
