If parents did their jobs instead of running to Washington DC for answers these sorts of problems would be much less prevalent.
No wonder some people on the left attack Christians and conservatives.
Does he think this column will really reach anyone who needs it? What a sarcastic, caustic piece.
Whaddya mean, daycare isn't as good as having a Mommy at home? Next you are going to tell me that rap music videos give kids the wrong impressions about women! Aren't people SUPPOSED to mate like squirrels on a tree 24-7? I thought our frontal lobes were meant to help hold up more mascara on our lashes!
I am waiting for the Elton John "Norma Jean" remix tribute to ANS.
Read and remember...choose wisely
Alcoholism and drug addiction is not pretty! There are needless deaths every day in every large city. Suicide (intention or unintention) by the drink, by the pills, by snorting, or by injection. This is nothing new or unusual -- Anna Nicole was on our radar -- thousands are not.
What is scarier is that some parents actually help by buying the clothes, the music, etc. that will help them achieve this.
I sat in a driver's license bureau once, waiting my turn for the test, when a group of "ladies" in front of me, with children in tow, actually commented on the program on the television, "I can't believe they're watching this - it's making me miss Jerry Springer".
No, we aren't supposed to judge but we should certainly discern. And that discernment/judgment line is very fine.
Well, it made him feel good. I guess that's what counts.
There were high school classmates of my daughter's whose fathers bought them breast implants as a HS Graduation gift here in the allegedly conservative Cincinnati suburbs.
Once Anna Nicole became addicted to easy money ,her life was over. I still think her son would have been alright if he had only stayed away from her. Her story is awful and it will be played out many more times.
A young acquaintance of mine married a guy but had trouble in her marriage because of pornography. She thought it was because she didn't look pretty enough and had breast implants. He still is addicted to porn. She divorced and next month is going to marry a terrific guy, one who loves her - not a fantasy.
She was old enough to make her own decision about the implants - I can't believe a father would agree to that for his daughter. How is he going to feel when she becomes a playboy model? Do you think he would care?
Would it be "Goodbye Vicki Lynn"?
Good article.
How you say it can be as important as what you say. This guy puts out one message, but his style screams that he's a part of the culture he condemns. A recognition that it's not just girls who embrace that lifestyle might have been a good start.
