(1,014 posts)Which I guess makes me a hypocrite, or just really confused. Hell, I don't know. So much stuff falls into the "gray area" part of my moral compass that it's really hard for me to pin stuff down and say I absolutely support or oppose this or that 100% of the time.
Yeah, it is really disturbing how youth of today (God shoot me...I used that phrase, "youth of today..." I'm so old...) ARE being desensitized. It's sort of like the desensitization to violence that I think comes with some of the violent video games and hollywood movies.
It's definitely a fine line to walk, and for me, I'm not sure where that line really falls. On the one hand, I get what you're saying absolutely and think you're right. On the other hand, I don't see anything wrong, per se, with stuff like the SI swimsuit issue. I mean, whatever blows your skirt up...go for it.
Muddy waters, indeed.
