Maybe I'm old fashioned...

[OMEGA]

your not old fashion
our culture is dying,

and all that is left is a baseless, superficial, abyss of lies deciet, immorality, nad perversion.

all you can do is try to be yourself, and hope that others will gravitate towards you, or follow your example.


unfortunatly this country is bankrupt, spiritually. morally and ethically

and it hard on good people

Go ahead and flame me....but I was discussing this with someone the other day and it sparked some anger...nowadays it seems cool to be either liberal, gay/bisexual, or on some kind of drugs....I'm not saying ALL people...and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being gay...but it seems as if no one gives a shit about morals anymore...it's more accepted and common to be sexually promiscuous and "bad" and if you happen to have morals you are considered a "prude" and actually laughed at...marriage is considered a joke now...50% divorce rate....12 year olds with kids...abortion being used as a form of birth control...people are more concerned with being politically correct than standing up for what's right...sorry if this doesn't make sense but it's more a rant than anything...

I have been waiting to hear a girl say this....

i agree 100%. society is fucked up

True... people should fess up to their actions... but I think one of the great things about this day and age is that people should be able to feel and do what they want without being judged. The worse thing about our society is judging others...

As long as one persons freedom doesn't interfere with anothers enjoyment of their freedom, then we should all just be happy we have these freedoms.

As for your personal lives... it's different. I set myself and the person I am with to a higher standard... drugs, promiscuity, and a few other things (that I have to work on) are out the door... nada... fin... end game... game over...

Ok, I've rambled about this long enough.

I'm with you...

I have always had VERY high morals...and even though many people I know do not ...I never let them change the way I feel..

I think it has to do with society...but also with self respect..

when a guy or a girl brags about how many people they slept with...I laugh...and run the other way...to me thats DAMAGED GOODS...

Awesome post, Pink!

 

[Y_lifter]

A perfect example IMO of the grey area of freedoms and Personal
liberties infringing on each other is:

You are in a public place (store, beach etc) and you see more and more often parents letting thier children(and themselves) running through the store, acting uncivilized or yelling etc.

Sure, people have every right in a public place to act this way, but come on peeps. Don't they care? There is less and less concern for how they are ruining the public peace infringing on my right to enjoy the beach just because they think it's their right..

PinK233,

Being Catholic myself I'm glad to see that most everyone isnt as fucked up as it seems. I alot of people think like you and just dont talk about it with anyone other than family because its just to "conservative".

"One thing to remember is that morality is relative"
in the strictest sense yes, but if you really get down to it everyone is pretty close on this. Dont tell me I'm wrong because Ive been all over the world and about the only thing that people disagree on is the morality of abortions and gay lifestyles. I dont want to make abortion illegal because I dont want girls/women to suffer but if you ever watch an abortion you will think twice, no doubt about it.

Likewise the institution of marrige no longer holds the relevance it once did, and honestly that doesn't bother me much either.
-dont have kids.

I think most organized religion has its ups and downs. While it can be brainwashing most also acts as a guide in life which still works pretty good, even in todays mess and its always been a mess.

I understand where you're coming from, Pink.

However, where you see a lack of morality, I see an openmindedness that's never existed before.

One thing to remember is that morality is relative. I don't think there is anything wrong with being gay or bisexual, and I'm glad that our culture is tolerant enough today to let people choose thier own sexual identities. And while I don't think drug use or promiscuious sex are healthy persutes, I'm also glad that the stigmas attached to both are begining to die out.

Please don't misunderstand me. I understand where you're coming from. With you being catholic, I'm sure your moral code and mine are quite dissimilar, yet we still manage to find some common ground. Even though I like to tease you, I respect your views on morality - and so do a lot of other people.

So...are we going to get it on, or what?

umm......yeah, what he said

i do often find myself agreeing with the 'right' on some issues, thats why im not necessarily as die hard leftie as i sometimes appear. and i do think society has really fallen in some cases. but i do think this would have happened goven the way the world is evolving, even without leftist policies etc.

but i do respect your opinion....it does sadden me to see all these teenage pregancies, rapings/murderings by child on child, 12 yr old heroin addicts, high divorce rates etc (all relativly common where i spend a lot of time), and i do find myself asking the question whether this liberal attitude to life is ultimately responsible...and i dont think it is
